I ran 16-18 with WI and never had a problem.

Whole thing is nice, except the Microtech not being to my taste and lord knows I'm old school or just plain old. I'd ditch it and go back to analog or if there are features you want, hide it a bit and put back the analog. You can use a Dakota Digital tach adapter or go with other gauges that fit perfectly and have no issues. Lots of good choices.

Great build. Makes me want my original VR back!

Thanks!!!! I love the car the way it is I'm don't like all the body kits I also feel like it takes away from the car..... And the microtech was something that was recommended to me by the old school rotary guys here in Orlando know what I know now I would have done the power FC.... But to be honest the microtech works great and if I get tired of the dash unit ill do the gauges is theres a write up for it

Thanks

a nice, simple build. i like it. i tend to side with GMonsen on the Microtech dash, but i also respect the fact that it is your decision. overall you've maintained the original beauty while personalizing it and i'm a sucker for that method of modifying cars.

i also want to thank you for saving this Gen III from the previous owners corniness.

well its been a pleasure to be here in the rx7club forums....unfortunately I could never get the suspension dialed in as I wanted and the car always felt very sloppy....could have been all the accidents the car has been in I checked the carfax recently and it showed it been quite a few...I used to own a fd3s in the past and it handled like a dream....this one just felt nothing like that...so I sold the rx7 and bought a 1993.5 supra tt 6mt.....im gonna try my hand at this and If i don't like it ill be right back to the fd3s again and if I have to pay out my *** to get one that is clean and unmolested I will
