Thanks guys.
...Got the pulleys fitted by Troy at Rotormaster. Throttle is a lot more responsive now and idles somewhat different but even better.
Ok the day has finally come and the RX-7 is now complete. :mrgreen:
Things that i already have and will be changing are:
-the wheel nuts, to 5zigen Koma silver/chrome nuts (imo, right now it looks too blue around there, need something to match the dish)
-the number plate, re-made the plate with Rta so that the space in between D_CUPS (6 letters inc. space) is removed to suit U.S license plate frames which i'll put on soon (DCUPS 5 letters no space).
There will not be anymore updates to this thread, but i'll sure be chasing a magazine, for a feature of my RX-7, the above changes will be seen then.
I'd like to thank everyone for all your positive comments, feedback and any help you have provided me with my build

Congratulations! Your car is screaming to get on the cover of the best car magazines I can think of.
BTW, these cars are never done, so I hope to see more updates in the future...Keep it up!!

Both cars are amazing. I am awestruck at how clean the front bumper looks on that car. I never really liked those bumpers, but I have to admit that it is one sexy beast. Congrats on completion and also congrats on the engagement. Hope the next build turns out as great as this one. If you plan on selling it, I am pretty sure this will be the car that will haunt your dreams and make you wish you hadn't.

the scary thing about finishing a project..
is that once it's done.. u suddenly feel idle and have no purpose..
that's what worries me about my cars..
u spend all ur time on "what it can be" and not "what it currently is"
and when it's finally done and there's suddenly no more milestones to reach
ur like uhhh now what?
and u never really even use the car after that..
time to sell it and then start allover...
the journey is more satisfying then the end result

Ok, still not fitted lol, xmas, new years, my kids school holidays, workshop holidays = delays. My bad for not leaving the car over at the workshop during the autosalon weekend.
Here is some better pics:
Sard Type-J 60mm Wastegate with Screamer
Have now put together the rear exhaust housing and vband it together (was a bitch without damaging the fins.)
See FD pictures of you car thread for more random shots
