The video above was just after completion of the second version of the Motor when it was making about 350 whp.
Here's a video of the car with the first version of the motor back in 2009 making about 300 whp.
And, here is a pretty current video of the car making about 380+ whp.

I hope the bump here will be appreciated, I have gone through this thread again and found myself struck by the attention to detail and vision behind this project.
What has been achieved here is the FD equivalent of the high-end boutique builders such as Singer, Icon, Alfaholics, etc.
Whoever buys this car when you eventually sell it will be the caretaker of a piece of history, not just the owner of another production FD. This car is significant in the history of third-gen RX-7 development, and in the wider RX-7 community in general. From where I'm standing, it represents the pinnacle of what is possible with the platform with a wide budget and an owner with the vision and patience to re-engineer the weak points of the car, while keeping the fundamental character of it intact. My favorite part has to be the interior, re-manufacturing the interior panels in copper plate and then covering them in wrinkle black paint is something I have never seen before, but it looks great, and I admire the dedication.
