Some teaser shots

With some luck, I should be able to pick up my 93 RX-7 next week. It has been off the road for 9 months now, I can't wait to get it back.

Here are some teaser shots. Once the new wheels, wide tires, emblems, and license plates are on it should look awesome.

Nice build, curious about the accusump though. Seems like an iffy spot especially on a lowered car.

It took about a month to get the bodywork and paint done.

The accusump is mounted on top of a solid metal plate that is ducting for the radiator so it is pretty well protected from damage, we will see what happens but I think it is pretty well secured.

Here are some pics with the wheels. She is riding a bit high as I maxed the ride height while checking clearances, but with a bit more trimming on the fenders I should be able to get it corner weighted and ready to race in another week or two.

Any chance of some higher resolution pictures like the last two? I would like to look at the detail for the body a little closer.

I talked with Ellis about your car last time I was at a bracket race...
From what he said, it sounds like it's a beast and judging by the pics, looks great! can't wait to see it in person at some point!
