Hat's off to you SIR!
It's the second best thing one can post on a RX7 forum.
(First is the new Mazda RX7).

It was idling at about 1100 or so in the vid, but I can set it lower no problem, It was idling at 650 at first, but that was a bit close to stalling. It can probably do that fine though once it's dialed in a bit better.

I'm in the southern part of the netherlands, close to belgium. So yeah this car probably won't see the streets of amsterdam anytime soon. I'm planning to take it to the zandvoort track though once it's finished and tuned. That's where I usually go to for track time.

I was in Amsterdam this weekend. I think its a better idea to mount the engine in a sleek hull and make the canals unsafe as there its really a mess to drive around with a car :p

If you need one let me know, the guy who makes these is a friend of me: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e...87114459_n.jpg
