Talking

I have bought several things from him and his company and he is a very manageable guy, very honest as well. He wasn't biased when i asked him about certain websites that offered the same products he did. I ended up getting his products because his customer service was astounding. I would email him and within the next 5-10 minutes i would receive a response from him, if not, the next morning. He will work with you on anything and has found many parts that i could not find myself. I am doing the same swap as well (1JZ non vvti in my RX7 FD) and it sure is easier when someone else has gone through the headaches and pains. Thanks a lot for all the help man, I couldn't have done this build without you. Would definitely work with you again.

Very nice interior pieces, I always wondered if it was possible to put something in place of the useless lights where you have that turbo timer/boost controller.

My only issue with a 2JZ swap into an FD is the hood clearance. If it wasn't for that I would probably do this myself. I'd rather use an RE-A style hood or some other vented hood. I'm just not feeling the raised cowl.

well im almost done making my prototype that allows stock hood clearance. with that said you can use any hood you'd like from a scoot hood to the feed hood. ESP since the motor clears the stock hood. I'm almost done making my first one and will begin making kits that come with: the power plant frame, cross member, torque brace, shifter extension, motor mounts and drive shaft. I also have plans on becoming a vendor here on the forums as well.
