93 Touring Black n Tan
Been away for 7 years starting a family and not having a garage. Now I'm back with a garage and with kids interested in watching their daddy build a "racecar". Not sure on plans yet, just got delivered yesterday

Welcome back! T

here seems to be an increasing amount of owners who are making a comeback after starting families/buying homes.

Found the mythical PFS Purple Box the other day, coming out in the near future. Maybe someone will buy it for a Rx7 museum or something

Greddy Boost/Temp Gauges test fitted, looking to finish install this weekend

Parts to be installed table keeps getting more filled, plus delicious beer

Gonna end up fabbing an all new SMIC duct. The current one pushes everything too close to the engine and actually rubbed a pinhole in my lower radiator hose. Got it tweaked for now but it just needs to be redone. I'll weld one out of aluminum

Cool! I know Jimmy customized his duct and made a bigger scoop for it to draw more air in.

Heat Shield
1st Attempt Heat Shield out of .063 aluminum

Having a sheet metal shop at my disposal is a plus

New IC ducting will take some more trail and error

Solid setup. Where you get the DIN panel for your 52mm gauges?
