So this is Round 2 of the build thread that originally started all the rx7club build threads 
The Car: 1995 Brilliant Black PEP with 35,400 original miles
The Current Mods: Bolts ons with stock twins and emissions, Fikse wheels (of course), R1 oil coolers, wing, lip, SBG HID lights, heated leather seats
The Plan: Build the ultimate street FD, at least as I see it. Lose the rear hatch with wiper, build the car to perform at the highest level. Due to a build of another track-oriented car, make this one a bit more civilized..... but not much
The Goal: 500 rwhp streetable FD with enough creature comforts to make driving it a pleasure 90% of the year
The Method: Attention to detail equal to or greater than the build up of my late VR FD that culminated in winning DGRR 2011 and a Modified Magazine feature spot
Stay tuned..... pics to come after this weekend

P.S. More than a few people had inquired about another Goodfellas build thread in the last year. Well, here you go

Some comparison pics of a pair of wheels:
17x9 +45 Fikse Classic FM10 in Technipolish (for a customer's FD, front)
18x10 +32 Fikse Profil10 in Titanium Black (for my black FD, rear)
Enjoy

Heated seat switches?
Which aftermarket kit did he use on the seats? I have been looking at this website and this switch assembly: http://www.heatedseatkits.com/heated...at2/index.html
I think it may be able to be disassembled and moved into a more factory looking spot. Just daydreaming though... probably.

Wow, sorry to hear about the VR as well. That car was iconic on this forum. I assume you are ok, which is the most important. Can't wait to see what you have in store for this car.
Scrub knows what's up! Nothing lasts forever and while I'm sure the car is missed, the important thing is that no one was hurt. Oh, and the fact that you get to do another build thread!
