My names Dylan Scannell im 21 years old. I've been working on my rx7 for over a year now mostly buying parts for the build and working on it whenever i get a chance on the weekends so its been a relatively slow build for the most part. For the past year i was working alot of overtime and going to school at night so my only time to work on the car was real late at night. With the help of Junior and Vito from JMR Garage and Navin from Speedtek i am hoping to get this car together asap so it at least sees the track a few times this season.

current parts:

koyo racing radiator
custom exhaust manifold built by Speedtek
Greddy 3 row 32R intercooler
New Bridgeported 13b-rew race clearanced
Rx-parts seals
Borg Warner 67mm turbo
2200cc ID injectors
2 38mm tial wastegates
tial 50mm bov

2 walbro fuel pumps
gram lights 57DR wheels 18 x 9.5 +38

Do you have any pictures of the Rywire harness installed or even at all? I'm looking into buying one, but I'd like to see how it lays out in the bay.

Junior at JMR Garage finished fitting the sheet metal. I am going to rivet it down after the interior and cage is painted this winter.

What do you guys think should i paint the sheet metal black to match the interior or leave it raw!?

amemiya914

Considering going with the feed widebody fenders. I already have the front bumper, canards, side steps and diffuser. What do you guys think!?

I've decided I'm going to go with an electric davies craig water pump so we're going to be removing the other pump but heres some of the progress in the engine bay.

I'm also not going with that turbo that is friends turbo a bit larger than my 67mm BW. We used it to mock up for the exhaust manifold. I went with 2 38mm tail waste gates and a tail bov.
