Why did you go with the T1-Sport over the Proxes 1, R1Rs, or something a little more aggressive on the VS-XX?
I been a fan of T1-S and T1-Rs and I was told that the new T1-Sport was great. Most likely the T1-Sports will go on my MB or Cosmo for street driving.

I reckon this should be submitted for the Gran Turismo awards:
Gran Turismo Awards - 10th Annual Gran Turismo Awards Call for Entries from PlayStation®

Would be awesome to see this immortalised in a future edition of GT, don't you think?

Looks like the entrance to one of the main halls. Everyone that goes into the show passes by there. Seems like prime real estate. Car looks amazing

Awesome build, one of my favorite looking cars !

Can you tell me if you managed to get the injector dynamics top feed primary setup to fit with the xcessive LIM bolted up ?
Seems to be a bit of a design flaw you can't run the top feed primaries ?

Looks awesome man! Wish I could have be done in time to show. A couple hold ups on engine parts are a lot worst than anticipated ;(

congrats on getting into SEMA. It's exciting to follow this thread, and then see it pop up in newsfeeds and such during SEMA coverage.

Car looks amazing and functional. Congrats on being the owner of that rx7.

Phil did you dyno your car yet? I had a local guy claim your car is making 750hp. Can you please dispell this myth. Lol. Or claim the legend.

Phil- I'm most likely missing it somewhere within all the pages but what was your solution for mounting the 20B? Did you take a chunk out of the firewall? Use the Defined solution? Something else?

Thank you sir!

I'm using DA kit but had to modify some and cut the motor mounts some and got an Atomic rack so I can lower the engine bit more.

^^That wasn't so hard, was it? People need to learn to show a little more respect IMO. Maybe it's a function of the younger crowd, I'm not sure.
Thanks Rich!! I guess some assumes and forget that we been around for a while and not a complete morons Either case, I have more important things to worry about

Also, something good happened from SEMA... They included a picture of my engine bay (not quite completed) in one of the articles they wrote.. This means a lot since I follow Speedhunters and was checking on their site while I was at SEMA..

I like how your damper reservoirs add just a subtle pop of color.
