I polished it all myself. I have an industrial polisher in the garage. I've been polishing it bit by bit over the last 7 years since I bought the car. The only things left unpolished are the rotor housings and tranny. I'm polishing my spare master cylinder as we speak. There are also some assorted chromed brackets and small items to add to the bling. I grew up working on hot rod's and love polish and chrome, but when I discovered Turbo's I had to have a car with one (or two). Now I'm hooked and this is all that is left of the old hot rodder in me. :P

And I thought that I was the only one polishing the master cylinder. Diff cover is the next item on the list.

Kyle,
I left my disc in my car outside, brrr, don't feel like running out in my skivies to get it right now...

Mr. Stock,
You're a sick man... the diff cover, I think I'll just hand over the baton your way and you can take it from here, sick dude. Too many vanes on that damn thing(but don't think it hasn't crossed my mind!)

How do you even use that many gauges, jspec?

There's a point where too much information everywhere becomes more of a problem than having too little information. May I suggest a STAC?

Yup! jspec is right. That's IGY's car. He posted some old pic of his single TO4, and someone told him to post "new" pictures. I happened to have one handy, so I did it for him. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, and the Coors can seems to work just fine from what I understand! Watch out APC! lol

Art, I remember you.. I met you at Rotary Revolution last year.. I was the guy who came up from Alabama in a Legend..

Anyhow, I guess you changed out your hoses.. It used to be green.. I have the older pic of your car..

I don't watch the numbers when driving. I use them for datalogging since the Defi Gauges have a record/playback feature. The ones on the border pillar are the ones I watch...that and the shift lite(sometimes)

no, i think everyone appreciates all cars that are tastefully done. Our cars just happen to be rotaries so of course we like those a little more.

you see...there are different sections of the forum. This is the section for 93-95 rx7s so only things that apply to that car should be posted here. If you notice people didnt post pics of all of their engine bays its just 3d gen rx7s. Any way I wish you luck in getting a rx7 hopefully a 3d gen. It may not be as fast as your car right away but it has MUCH more to offer except for speed.
