Wow, the FD's Driver's side tires are halfway off the ramp in the last photo, and the car is nearly falling off in the photo before that...

Someone needs to direct the driver better! There's so much room to work with too!

I've done some scarey ramp/tow work with previous cars of mine and I'm glad I had a better spotter than you did! :P

Interesting mods, a few questions.

Stock rad
Single turbo
FMIC

Must equal overheating?

Tight elbow on compressor outlet seems like it would restrict flow quite a bit?

Why the relocated oil filter?

it's a much larger filter unit than the stock one, as you can see....and I did it because i like clean oil, good for the engine The effect of the piping is unknown, I was perfectly happy with spool and hadn't investigated redoing the IC piping, I never had overheating issues, but I did have a modified (tightly clearanced) water pump setup and a 34row oil cooler

Look at the name of the towing company. There is some kind of curse between that name and rx-7's

I was just wondering about the center console and how you got that finish look on it. Not the relocation of the buttons but the console's color.

Looks great! Is that one of the early models that doesn't have any door windows? You should get some of the 98+ style wheels, or maybe you've got something else in mind? anyway, looks great! I'm sure you'll have fun with her
