New to RX7's, brought a familiar car to some here

My name is Jamie Gowing, Ive been driving a worked Subaru STI in some mid atlantic events and done several fun 24 Hours of Lemons events.

I recently picked up the familiar track prepped yellow 93 FD from John Eppley.
I am learning that John made this car a little famous and I am looking forward to learning it and having a great time with it.


I hope to see you out there

Thanks for the car comments!
I am very excited!

It is very rust free, built by Peter Ferrell Supercars. I was sad when a comcast truck backed into it recently and dinged the nose, which is apparently a genuine Mazdaspeed GTC nose, but that's life.

The guys at Synaptic 3 went through it and tuned the new SR motor in it, it's running great and pulls very hard with only 2500 pounds on board.

I've beenprepping the car for Nasa VIR.
The car has been gone over and the new motor tuned. Dana at Synaptic 3 found a stuck wastegate which would have been doomsday, and installed a new high flow intake manifold.

I'm now working with the Velasquez unboosted master brake setup. Car had 7/8-5/8 masters on it, but wilwood says 1 and 7/8, so that is coming.
Anyone have experience with this setup?

some pics.
300 wtq, 391 whp at 14 psi, no water/meth, on 93. 2500 lbs.
