I always liked the Greddy gauges there sweet, Good Choice! but I am a huge Defi Fan at heart :-)
When did Marko estimate this thing is going to hit the street and get some serious head turns?

Not sure, waiting for an update in the next couple days, still waiting on some parts to arrive. But not soon enough lol.. will probably be a couple weeks. They are also doing some custom under skirting and a rear diffuser for me.
robx7fcna Stop buy and check it out! snap some pics and post them here, interested to see the progress myself!

Update time!
So Marko and his crew at ForceFed have built and installed custom front and rear diffusers, as well as further bracing and reinforcing the widebody kit. Meth is now installed, and we are just waiting on a couple random parts before the dyno

What kind of https://www.rx7club.com/build-threads-292/jhnrx7s-2017-season-track-tour-rotary-fd-mx-5-powahed-922123/page3/ did they use for the diffusers and air box? Never seen that kind of pattern before.
I'm going to further block the gaps to make the most of the airflow, as well as ducting for brake cooling as well. similar to what JhnRX7 did in his build:

So at long last after a very exhaustive build I finally had the chance to pilot the Seven for the first time. The power-plant was from my previous FD but I was surprised all over again at how fast and fun it is.
With all the new suspension components installed and dialed in, it handles like a dream, and feels so solid.
The diffusers and reinforcement courtesy of ForceFed insure everything stays rigid, and is great peace of mind as the speed increases.
The team at ForceFed Performance in Abbotsford did an incredible job, I can't say enough great things about them, and wouldn't consider going anywhere else!
They worked long and hard, and are an amazing group of people, I can't wait to go back for the next stage in the performance development.
The trip back was nerve racking, not knowing wether I would clear the ferry ramps with the ride height I had a flat deck standing buy, luckily I didn't need it!

I'll take some pics tomorrow. New black carpet and headliner. All plastics are black except for the door skins. Planning to change out the seats, either black Recaros or new red leather, haven't decided but leaning towards black Recaros.
