I sent David a copy of it on Tuesday. It's a little over three minutes long. It has two good pulls on it and some idling/revving in neutral from behind. The sound of a 20B is awesome
I haven't heard back from David, so I'm assuming he's out of town.

No final news yet
Hi all,
Haven't been to the forum for the past few months as I have been working on the car trying to get it completed. Thanks to the help of Dean Colver, I'm at about 400 RWHP and 400 ft. lbs. of torque at 10 PSI. The latest problem I have been dealing with is that the car won't hold any more that 10 PSI of boost. Am concluding that this is the best the Cosmo twin turbos will do.
I have the DVD from Doug and would be happy to send it to someone who can post it. It's 217 megs. Let me know if you are interested. It's pretty good.

David, I could have sworn I saw your car up for sale on Ebay? Is this true?
EDIT: I found the link.

As I mentioned a while back, I can host it.
Send me an email and I'll tell you where to ship the DVD.

Yep talk about some crazy markup. It's funny that this same engine could be rebuilt with a RA master rebuild kit and new housings for less than 3k(provided if you DIY).

I finally got through 60 pages of this thread, and I only have three questions. What does a 12K+35K 20B reliable performance package rx7 run in the 1/4? What is the market resale value (ie. not the dreamers value)? If you could do it all over again would you have went another route, or bought another car with your 47+K investment? Congrads on your project 7 David and I wish you the best of luck with it.
