Thanks! Yea i tried to make it as pretty and functional as possible! Still so many things to do next year but atleast wont be worring about a tune or anything and can just upgrade small things​​ to make it even more of a drivers car!

Alright so time to bring this thread up to speed!, first off got a new job! at a brand new Nissan dealership as a apprentice.
Best move i could have done! nothing like a brand new shop to get my hands dirty in then this!

So after having the car dyno tuned last year, ive gotten to drive it a total of about 2 weeks, and i absolutley hate my transmission.. very notchy syncros dont work the best, and its loud...
so out with the old in with the new, bought a new to me transmission from a local kid that has the bad case of collect rx7s and let them sit lol..
so cleaned it all up made sure it was 100% got new seals and away it goes.

also redoing all my brakes from booster - calipers, and EBC yellow pads! should stop me well enough!
got water temp and oil pressure pro sport gauges for my eyes to jsut have it simpley so i can not worry about over heating anymore (ps it never over heated lol)
always had to drive with laptop to watch temps NO MORE! lol
umm what else.... BC RACING COILOVERS have been orderd.. cannot wait for those ... full energy suspension bushing kit, Dtss eliminator bushings, rear camber arm, poly and trans mounts to get rid of the solid alum engine mounts...

last but not least a medium pressure wastegate spring... as much as i enjoy the car at 5psi... it sucks on the ears when your trying to pass someone with moderate throttle... so in she goes and a street tune/redyno i do cause racecar!
