Finally posted pics of my project...
Finally got some pics on my own PC to post...still in progress. The interior is completely shot and I want to re-do it...I could definately use some help with ideas on that, but tell me what y'all think!

That pic was actually taken before I put the coil over kit on. Those were actually dropped heavy duty springs. The RX7 wheels did come with the car...since then I lucked up on some brand new old school centerlock mesh style Work wheels. Lucked up on those from a friend who bought them brand new in the 80's but never installed them...they were even still in the box...can you believe that!?!? Anyway, I now have coil over kit and a 13bT motor. Isn't running yet, but almost there! Here is a pic of the powerplant...

I also have the interior pieces that are missing in the photo (steering column cover, etc.). I am also figuring out how to modify the e-brake console and shifting console to accomodate the longer S4 tranny...any ideas?

The wheels look good! It looks like you coulda gone a hair wider on the tires though....it kinda looks(maybe its jsut me) like you are doing that "euro" thing when they use undersized tires with wider wheels for some reason.

Actually the front tires were "thrown in" with the wheels, and those are definately not the perfect fit for the wheels...I thought I'd use them for now until I need new ones. Ther rear tires could go a hair wider, but I think they would rub under hard cornering. I was attempting to get the widest fit without having to roll the fenders.
