It's holding up just fine. I have had zero problems with running warm so far, so I really can't complain.

It may have been designed by an idiot, but it's beefy enough to keep the engine cool.

Im glad you guys cleared that up because here I was thinking that on top of the $1000 for the Turbo2 engine, trans, and ecu I was going to have to spend another couple hundred on the rear end and driveshaft from a Turbo2. I probably still will but now I know I can wait on it. That radiator does look nice and Im pretty sure that the reason they are all so much different is because Godspeed makes the same radiator for different cars like the 240sx and cars alike.

I ripped out the yucky stained blue carpets. I'm putting in nice black one. The dash was also so brittle. It collapsed everywhere I grabbed it. Thank goodness I have a black one here !!!

The slave cylinder I got was already attached to the transmission, but they are cheap to come by. Is your car an Auto? Pick up a SS clutch line also

You can reuse the N/A one. Also, if you DO NOT plan on swapping the rear end, mazdatrix has a propeller shaft that mates the T2 tranny to the NA rear diff

Congrats

I've just read everything you were up to on this sweet ride . its seems to have come a LONG way, I love the exhaust that you got on there, that's one of the things i miss about my turbo 2. ( I got a 93 FD now) . Cherish that vehicle, not many cars out now have soul like the rx7s.
Are you plannin to take her to a meet? if so, lemme know , cause I gotta take mine on the maiden voyage.
If i can be of any help, in any way dont be afraid to shoot me a question , granted a lot of people know more than I about rx and whatnot, but nevertheless.

Good luck and I'll keep reading,

Rob
