Just stopped in to let the forum know I'm still alive. I moved into my new place over the weekend. I'm literally on the back side of Maryland International Raceway Budds Creek down on the Wicomico river. If anyone makes it to the track just call me and I'll make it out..

Anyway, my fd is still under the cover locked up at my old house. I'm planning on having it towed here on a flat bed this weekend and I'll get back on wrapping it up.


My new place.. Nice house with water view on too of a large 2.5 car a garage. It's heaven!

Thanks for the well wishes guys. I'll have to update the thread when I get things moved in and reassess where I'm at with the car.

Photo from my deck of the sunset on the river and the garage before I moved anything in.

David,

Glad to see you're making out alright. Hope you were able to straighten out the Fedex shipping over-charge on the hood.

I'll get on this over the weekend.

Need to wrap up the sake Bomb oil cooler install,
Get the long block all back together and drop it in. Mount up Intercooler and radiator, finish Up various trim pieces, get the exhaust and what not out back on, adjust the front wheels enough to drive it up for a 4 wheel alignment. And uhh probably a thousand other things I have forgotten.

I think it was 10" rear and 9" front. Totally going off memory though. I'd have to look at the wheel again. They might have been 9 rear and 8 front

Wow. Gorgeous touches here and there. Everything you've done so far is basically on course to what I want to do with my 7. I hope the separation and everything wont hinder this build!

I dont get why everyone is freakin out about the garage, isn't a 2 car pretty standard?!

Awesome build though, I love the color! I am sorry to hear about the separation, hopefully everything works out for the best.

Lol,
Yea my last place was a larger garage. For me personally it's not the size of the garage so much as the
Location and layout of the garage with house on top that is so sweet.

As soon as I can get time. I'm in my busy season at work and I'm in the midst of a move etc..

Still have a lot of the parts back at my old house too. Hopefully sooner than later.

Spent about two hours reading through this whole build. This is a gold mine for someone up and coming in the Rx7 field, being 22 I'm limited in certain things such as funds with school being a pain in the ***, but I hope to follow this to the end.
