Oh wow sweet. I didn't know the new Mickey's didn't grow. I've got some really old ones(1999ish), and I know mine grow.

Any chance you can elaborate on your ignition setup? I'm looking to get new ignition to go with the spring rebuild and am currently shopping around. I'm on their website now and see that they are an Aussie company. Did you get your parts shipped from there or are they available in North America? Do you know if the wiring is similar to an MSD 6A or was it more or less work to get it set up?

Thanks
Chris

yeah as sad as that is us FB owners hear this alot too....i find it sad people who know RX-7's don't give the FB more respect considering that without it there would be NO FD! like you said "whatever" as long as you love it is all that matters....

It's 5" exhaust, so the degree of bend isn't gonna matter much

Hoping to get dyno'd late December/Early January.

I will, for awhile atleast or until I decide what I want to do. I just don't want a big ugly buldge on my hood.
