I also got my ID1000's. Bought them from Full Function Engineering. Awesome service and makes some cool stuff for rotaries! Thanks guys!!!




Also, got the eye bolts for the Takata Harnesses.. Can't wait to install them and go for a ride




And finally,

The engine... Oil pan on, Oil pan brace on, and mounted on my spare FD subframe.

I'm currently putting the car together for SEMA and I can't upload all the stuff that's going on..

I'll make this short and share 2-3 pics.. including the render done by amazing artist and designer, Greg Thompson. He did an amazing job rendering the car with few pics I sent him and list of goodies I was going to put on. Just amazing work!! Since its so close to SEMA, I'll share the render to give you guys an idea what it will look like (exterior).



Hint of couple of parts..






I'll update the full car on my way to SEMA..

I don't know why buy my eyes were drawn to the cockpit area and my first thought was, "Where are the mirrors?" My second thought was, "Oh...duh."

Can't wait to see more pictures - looks great! Good luck and have fun at SEMA.

Why did you go with the T1-Sport over the Proxes 1, R1Rs, or something a little more aggressive on the VS-XX?
