I have a lot of travel between the wheel and fender. Good bit of gap there and I'll double check the harness but still have all my liners in.

Center caps would be something to look for in the future... pretty hard to source sometimes.

R: 18x10 +35 --- 285/30/18

Ride Height on the Ohlins DFV are set to 25" front and 25.5" rear (measured floor to fender)

Car will be in to get an alignment after I let the car settle a bit.











New 99 Spec Taillights from Mazda will be on the car later this week I'll have updated pics of the rear after I get them put on. Finishing up the engine mods this week and will have some new parts going on:

FEED Front Strut Tower Bar
FEED Oil Cap
FEED Brake Fluid Cap
FEED Radiator Cap
HKS EVC-S Boost Controller
Very Nice!!

After a while it doesn't really change anything. You just have to adjust a bit in the beginning to make sure you aren't drifting too far to the left of the lane. Shifting is still second nature.

You, however, do grab more attention from other people because they tend to be so bewildered by the fact that you are on the right hand side.

Great looking car Pete. I need to find someone to do that paint correction to my car. Lots of people near me say they can do it but they do t know what they’re doing.

I'm torn whether to follow your build or not Pete... the lust it stirs for a beautiful 'stock' FD is giving me an insufferable case of "rotary blau-*****"! Worst of all, last week's GME stock windfall could painlessly fund it. You ARE the Devil, and you car is your chariot of temptation!

I like how much the seats stand out through the rear window, looks good. Mine is tinted so I never see the kevlar weave haha.

Nice build, cant beat a black RZ .

Here are some iPhone photos from the day. Professional shots coming later that I can’t wait to share! You can also expect to see our cars featured in some upcoming national advertising for CarPro, which is a detail/ ceramic coating business with installers across the USA.

As I read through builds I'm noticing a lot of posts coming out of Florida. The RX7 community is strong out there! Car looks amazing Pete, nice work.

So small update...

Finally got around to ordering my ShineAuto parts this week. Lead time on them will be a few months while being made but here is what I have ordered:

Shine Auto FEED Replica Side Skirts Carbon Twill
Shine Auto RE-2 Street Rear Diffuser Carbon Twill
Shine Auto 99 Spec Carbon Twill Lip
Shine Auto Odula Replica 99 Wing Insert Carbon Twill

Other planned items will be RX-Light LED headlights here shortly and Sakebomb Wilwood Brake Kit with Rear upgrades & Stainless Steel Lines.

Should make for some interesting installs this Winter.
