THE TECH's 94 CW

New to the RX-7 world but not new to the JDM life. Working on my collection of cars that are the pride of Japan, I have just acquired a 1994 CW base (PEP) that was one owner and completely stock. It will sit nicely next to my 1995 Supra and 2013 GT-R.

I've never been one to do build threads but I have my new best friends urging me to document this new experience so I will attempt to make it happen...**cough cough** ZoomZoom and GoodfellaFD3S.

Even though as of this moment, the car is not in my possession, I have acquired a TON of parts for this build with TONS more en route.

To start things off, here is a teaser of a few of the parts I've snapped some quick photos of.




Apex'i Power FC



OEM Stanley Lights



Next MIRACLE Titanium Cross Bar - 35mm



Car shop GLOW Rear Taillights



Car shop GLOW Rear Carbon Spoiler



929 Master Cylinder



Turbojeff Power FC/Datalogit Mount



AEM AFR



Tial BOV



Idemitsu Premix



JDM Floormats



Odyssey PC680 Battery

I think Gordon is coming from a good place (check his build thread) and doesn't mean any offense. In my opinion, sometimes pushing one thing too far, can become a little "on the nose".

Like the guy in the Porsche club with the 944 wearing the Porsche hat, Porsche shirt, Porsche watch, Carrera glasses and Porsche shoes. It starts to look a little, well, "played out" as the kids used to say (do kids still say "played out"?).

I think with time, the "trinkets" come and go... but **** it, it's your car and your path. None of it is permanent. Lord knows I've done questionable **** and come back around on it.

What's the rotor in the upper left next to the Mazdaspeed Oil Cap?
