MSILK we should get together on a cruise, would be cool if the majority of the BCrotary crew could all swing a day or two for a cruise somewhere, from the island up to Whistler with Van doing the same or something along those lines.
For sure man, its about a 10 hour drive for me, but I go down to Penticton every year. Once I know my 7 will make it I am going to bring her down. I will let ya know when

Looking great, looking forward to hearing the results, wish the timing worked out better so I could have seen it. I had my car at Forcefed last week, still need to work out some bugs and get it all finished up though.

hey Dan when you bringing you widebody back to Marko's. I'm right around the corner from him I could have brought the 13B-PP over. I'm back on Marko's dyno wednesday or thursday night for another round of tuning.... I hope it's the last time this race season.

lol.. realized on my first 7 that it was never going to be finished this time around is no exception! lol. We'll have to plan a meet or cruise once the majority of us are dialed in!

Ran into another snag with the delivery date, trying to work it all out. Not stoked.

After a lot of waiting the car is finally in Victoria!

So there are still a lot of small details to finish up, including the custom interior projects I have waiting as well tuning etc. I also want to test fit my CF APR mirrors to evaluate the best scenario. The hood still needs to be fitted correctly, which will be completed as soon as I install the new hood shocks. My list is still pretty long, but the car should be driving by next week, and with the new work space I just rented I hope to complete most of my list in the next few weeks..... who is ever really finished right.

Enjoy for now!

you're doing that rx7 a lot of justice

the color is really unique, not too "loud" but will definitely stand out on the road

Didn't do a comparison between Canada and US currency wise. The shop came highly recommended, and had built a couple of cover cars, so I went with them.

Just finished test fitting my Autoexe rear strut bar, as well as installing my nardi wheel and Redline racing leather kit. Will post pics shortly.

Had some time to do some work on the 7 today, took some pics I've been meaning to upload for awhile.

First I removed the hood and straightened it, will be doing this further once I install the hood shock kit. Also did a test fit for the new headlight covers that just arrived from Veilside Japan.



Also did some test fitting on the grill that arrived from Veilside and cutout space for the tow hook, plan to cut out a bit more space before painting the grill flat black.




Also did a test fit on the Autoexe rear strut bar I painted awhile ago.

Installed a Nardi wheel and RX8 Shift ****




And Painted and did a test fit of the R1 Front Strut Bar





You can also see in some of the pics, the Redline interior leather kit, now installed, plan to further tweak the E-Brake, and Re install the now black release button.

Also need to source some new interior plastics, will either go 94+stock or order replacement CF pieces. The current overlay is brutal.

Very interesting. Never seen that before. Pretty cool though. Not many people end up doing the covers in black trim. Looks 100x better with that trim.

Yeah I like it that way as well, reminiscent of the RE Amemiya headlights.

I also really like the black trim on the headlight covers. My headlight covers came all clear and didn't come with the black border, maybe I got jipped by Veilside.
