Thanks Rich for the deal on the RE-Amemiya steering wheel. The green stitching ties in nicely with the Takata green.

Rishie at AutoRnD got the Bride Japan edition seats to me for the best price online!
The Taiwanese knocking off the Bride seats motivated Bride to start the Bride Japan edition which are FIA certified seats. It seems Bride of Japan is actually going back and certifying the old seat designes as well; so if it has legitimate FIA tag on it, its a real Bride.
Bride has opened up its distributorship as well, so its not just Tee's USA. Some good things have come as a result of the knock offs!
The Bride Japan line isn't really any bigger, but they do offer some seats models in larger (and smaller!) sizes. Big seat don't fit well in the FD though.

Yeah, I still have a Nardi **** in from matching the other steering wheel. I actually plan to put in a huge ungainly slot machine looking thing where the shift **** is.

That engine bay is looking very functional and sexy Gordon!
My only nitpick is the tea strainers on the velocity stacks should go.
They have a high ratio of material to open area and little surface area, so they flow much less than a proper pleated media or open cell foam over a reinforcing structure filter.
The added bonus of properly filtered intake air is your side seals will last more than a day. The Mazda factory effort found out at Daytona in 1978 that you cannot skimp on air filtration on a rotary as the RX-3 at dust and died hard.

Oh, all those clean cars
Got to see my 7 earlier today, it has been sitting, with no engine, and parts just piled up inside, in about eight months now.
I REALLY hope to get the car running in the next month!

Installed the upgraded solenoids for my twins. Sweet mother im never working on the stock sequential system again. Some things are worth paying for..lol
Not completely buttoned up in this pic, but its the only one i took post install.
Just have to track down a vac leak to get the idle back down to normal. Idling at 1500 right now :/ Im pretty sure i know which it is. But ugh so much work to get back under the UIM.
