From stock to Stupid in less than 45days(tx2k build)

I have had a few Rx7's over the past few years and love them!! Just was looking for the right car, and I found it. A 80k mile MB very clean car popped up in Okc for sale. So I had to have it. I had a 95 FD that was I was re doing and getting a lot of parts ready for, but this car popped up and so it had to go.

So I really wanted to take a Rx7 rotary powered car down to Tx2k and surprise a few people. So I am not that well versed in Rotary building. So a guy I met at a local IFO event a few times had a 7sec Two Rotor Rx7, and it was fast! So I went to him and ask him to build me a monster in less than two months, and he said lets do it!!!
So I had Armoris and Roger Martinez in Kansas City build the car the way they want, now on to the pics.

I'm digging it. I love to see guys get stuff done in short time and not take 2 years to end up with disappointing numbers. Good luck.

Going to be an awesome build, and quite a nice stable of cars you have there! Do you have build threads on those as well?

Badass, I'm looking forward to seeing you in Texas come March. I made it last year and broke a few hearts (not enough due to my slipping clutch). I should be there in full swing with a new clutch and a retune.

Looking forward to see the completion of this car. Its always nice to a car built with a specific deadline/purpose. Even with all the power this car is going to make, it should fit into the middle of the pack nicely down there, lol. Its unreal the level of some of those cars.

Best of Luck,
Austin
