Thanks for the reply. I'm in the process of mounting the almost same exact kit in my FD. Engine bay is looking killer.
It's actually a custom kit I got off a member here. Has dual Earls coolers... I love the way it fits and its routed.. It's kind of just hanging un mounted in areas in the pics above but when it's all tidy it's really nice. I'd recommend dual oil coolers for anyone who regularly tracks their car, or lives in a dry hot area, or any substantial power modifications ie single turbo's etc.

Prrex... Nice man!! you should post some pics when your done!! i don't even mind if you post them in here just so I don't have to look around for em haha.
So I did a little bit of cleaning again today. Cleaned up a whole of wiring and organized some lines/wires as well. I forgot to take a picture of before...but i guess you'll have to take my word for it that it looks way better haha.
Also... I am contemplating wrapping the whole thing with heat reflective.. or just re-painting it nice black.. not sure if it would be an over-kill or not though... we'll see...

Alrighty... So today I finally bought a jack... its pretty damn nice.. and I luckily knew the girl that I asked to help me.. she just gained a lot.. A LOT of weight.. so I didn't recognize her at first. But I got it for 60 bucks.. lowest point is 2-3/4 Inches!!! 2 Ton capacity. Hell of a deal! But I pulled my rear diffusor off and decided to give it a good clean. Then I went over the under/top side with a dark Sealer but it ended up being flat... So i'll have to go get a gloss tomorrow. Either way It looks much much better than before.

After
Also, I spent a long time making both sides equally measured... went with this setting to pull out some of the camber and see if my wheels still fit... We'll see tomorrow morning when I put the car on the ground..but i'm almost positive they'll rub.

Meanwhile.... pulled the tranny to start cleaning the tunnel out and get all that bloody oil off EVERYTHING! And me being a little absent minded... okay okay.. being a complete moron forgot to drain my fluid out.. Result; one hell of a mess..
good thing I have degreaser though... cleaned up pretty good.
And also forgot to post a pic of my diffusor.. sealed the top of it so it didnt look so damn ashy.. haha.

I know someone was gonna say that. I have two jack-stands in the rear and the bricks are there to balance the car out a little. There's also a floor jack supporting the front of the car. It's actually really sturdy...believe me haha. I've used bricks my whole life really though with no problem.

Well the reason why I brought it up, is because I used to use bricks too till one of them cracked and crumble and the car fell on my buddy's leg braking it.

And some work I got done today.. Re routed all my wiring under my car for my AEM water meth kit, ground, etc.. it was all gucked with oil too.. took me a long time to clean it off. But got the PPF out.. cleaned it, Got the heat shielding out... Cleaned it.. Cleaned more of the tranny tunnel, and my transmission got de-greased.. But I may go over it one more time.. I don't think i'm going to paint the trans.. I hate when the paint starts toflake off and it looks all cheezy.. but check it!

Excellent build and write up....I'm heavily debating the idea of getting back into an RX7. Been away from them for a while, but this was an enjoyable thread to read and kind of relive the old rotary days. I like my C6Z, but I cared more about my FD's....dunno. We'll see. Excellent build and write up....looks like Vosko is back on here as well. I thought he left FD's before I did.

Also my buddy Danny pin-stripes a lot of motorcycle tanks and helmets... So I asked him if he could do my helmet. He asked me what I wanted on it and I said something kinda simple.. But I wanted the word "Drive" on the back.. I think it came out pretty bad ***..
