Thanks to Curtis I now have all brand new Mooge tie rods and adj. sleeves and one brand new sparco seat! I'm waiting on one tie rod end as he didn't have all them and looking for another seat..... Which I'm going to get another new one so they match lol. Great part is that I fit great in the seat lmao so I don't have to drop 100lbs hahaha. Hopefully I can start working on it soon as it's been pretty cold out.

Went to school early today and made my new door panels and seat rails. Door panels still need a little fine tuning then sanded. Seat rails will need to be mounted then determin where the seat will mount on them.

After doing the brakes and a tune up on the rx8 I spent about 5hrs on the 7 this weekend. Timing is set, carb is tightened down, fuel lines done, and cleaned the dust out lol. Need to finish tightening the oil lines down and the clutch pedal. Still need coils, e-fan, battery, and a couple other little things before I can fire it up finally. Oh and the dreaded wiring lol
Test fit
Everything is pretty close, but it fit pretty good

They still make a few different wink mirrors. Lol I'm 6'1" so I feel your pain. My sparco seat is mounted to the floor so I sit pretty low in the car and it's great!

Been pretty lazy on the at lately. I did get all the fluids and the clutch ready to go. Still need to put the finishing touches on the seat rials and get my ignition coils and electric fan. Going to be relocating the battery and adding a battery cutoff on the rear driver side B-pillar

Thanks Curtis! I'm pretty pleased with the seat! Now I just need to get a second one. I'll have to take measurements to get the same one. Ya it's pretty hard to leave the scene lmao I've tried

Well guys I'm not sure how the widebody is going to workout..... I contacted the company that sells the body kit that I'm going to be using and they said that they only have 1 more kit in stock and once it's gone they will no longer sell it. I don't have the money to buy it and might not for a while. So I'm not sure what the future holds :'(

Started installing the headlight buckets, motors, and new headlights.
Cleaned and painted
All mounted up and ready for use
Thanks to mr Dave Jones (Mazdave) I got a replacement arm for the driver side motor that I lost somehow. Tomorrow I plan on replacing the pitman arm and installing all new tie rod ends for the steering along with new bolts

Started reapplying ALL the bolts under the hood as well as starting a wire tuck. Yes..... It sucks! I have stripped the harness down and started cutting wires. We will see how it turns out. Headlight wires are ran so far.

Final product for the direct fire ignition coil mount. Had to shorten it about an inch for a good fit. Needs a little sanding and paint, then it's ready to go!
