Jameson, thanks for this man.

Vaughnc, I will send you some larger ones with a list of all the mods this evening when I get home. The pictures actually didn't come out as good as I want and I will be taking some more in a few days in a better setting. The body kit is Bomex front and rear with factory side skirts. I will also list the mods on here.
Later,
Ben

It's like east coast meets west coast. Nice looking car, not my cup of tea..but nice. But then you got captain redneck style fuel pressure gauge on the hood. With all the $$$ in that car they coulda sprung for the remote sensor and an electronic fuel pressure gauge.

Nice job the interior is a little too wild for me but the exterior is what my original plan was with bomex front and rear and konig imagines minus the wing. I plan on the erebuni that is molded into the body. So were there any fitment issues of the bomex?

Hey ben I found out where you can get those 15 degree bends REAL cheap (or any other degree for that matter). In fact they are free. last time we were in KC we went to the Procharger HQ (advanced engenering, or something like that) to take some car pictures and there is this trash barrel full of 3" bends next to the garage bay. check it out

There were no fitment problems at all with the Bomex stuff. I have installed other body kits on my other RX7's before and this one fit tremendously better.
Later,
Ben

Hey Ben, how often do you drive into springfield. I've noticed your car in the members section of 417imports; but, so far I've never seen it driving around in person. Any engine improvements since the bosted 11 second time on 417? Or has it been all cosmetic since then?

Ben,
you finally finished and getting the car the respect it deserves. Guys let me tell you, pictures do not give this car the credit it deserves. Lots of time and money was put into this. . My dad hates the rice burners but was in awe over this ride. Exquisite.

I will be down in Springfield probably in the next few weeks. I have changed the turbo, manifold, wastegate, front mount and suspension parts since the times on 417imports. The car is much faster in third and fourth gear so it should lop some time off of those 11 second numbers.
Later,
Ben

I saw Ben's car last night, and let me say that those pictures do NOT give the car justice. It is sweet!

Ben-post your mods!!!
