Awesome shots. Your boost guage seems nice and bright (my Autometer seems dim). Is that the exposure you guys were fooling with?

I'm actually still stuck in Oklahoma right now but will be moving down to San Antonio(Randolph AFB) in about three weeks. Head over to Alamo Motoring and introduce yourself... there will be lots of meets and cruises going on once the weather gets nicer.

I have the Autometer boost gauge as well. It lights up nicely around the outside edge but the actual guage face is dim and very difficult to read sometimes like you mention.

man it makes me appreciate my VR FD even more. VR wasn't my first choice, but that's what I ended up "settling" for

Nice pics. Got any more? Any shots under the hood?

Oh, and I'll never drive my FD anywhere without taking the tools along, haha.

Lol i have the same exact tool kit and I do the same thing but along with that i have coolant,quik ties, electrical tape, and the list goes on.

Sorry, my mistake, that exhaust in the pics was the 3.75" Greddy Custom Racing Exhaust(the one rx7.com sells). I had the 4" RE at one point but it was a little overkill plus suprisingly the Greddy sounded much better.

whats up
the car is putting down close to 600 whp and about 750WTQ with 17 psi and a 75 shot of nitrous. thats through a C4 trany (robbs a bunch of hp).
i ran an 11.3@124mph on drag radials (17 psi)
and an 11.0@130mph on slicks (17 psi and nitrous). all of that on a tired 110K miles stock motor

i'm pulling the motor out by next week and i'll put in a built 331 motor and a bigger turbo. its going to be a 9 second street car with AC and PS.
