Thank you sir! Yes, I'm still running the original turbo and AFM (The AFM sits between the HKS intake inlet and the intake filter). I do plan on however porting the wastegate sometime hopefully in the near future.

I'm pretty picky about steering wheels, but that one's quickly growing on me.

I like a lot of the parts you've chosen. Those R-Magic engine and transmission mounts are awesome! What material are those made of??

Can't wait to see more progress... Keep it up!

Most impressive build I have ever seen on RX-7club. I love what you are doing and when I decide to dump more money into mine I will be going the same route. New interior parts, quality bolt ons, stock look, old school gauges.... perfect.

This is a very cool build. I'm all about fairly stock looking cars, so this is right up my alley.
