Im doing the same exact thing ( in miami too) with a 92, and all I can say is exepect to double your estimates of how long it will take if you plan on doing a real thorough job. I'm about a year and a half into my project, and still have a few more months to go.
good luck man!

COOL
Few advice for you for building a Track only car
What class you plan to run. There are big different between A Race CAR and a Time Attack and Solo2 car. Plan ahead
how much money you plan to spend. A lot of time I seen a lot of people spend too much money on buying parts, but end out give up the project!!, For me most important thing of RACE CAR or Track car is to drive on Race Track.
I think FD, The only class legal in SCCA is. GT-2 or 3 but you cant run turbo in that class, plus there are very little change to against to real GT car(tube frame). there are one class call ITE, this is regional only class, but most of mod is allow in this calss. so in this class you see some very wacky race car or some very very fast one.
NASA is about the same thing only unlimit class for Turbo FD.
For Solo2 you can build a BP car ? I am not sure is FD is legal or not
Time attack car. since time attack is getting popular right now. so it would nice to see FD doing it.
As I said before. money money money. how much you want to spend. and Driving on Race track do wear you car a lot !!!!.
MY Road RACE FC. was plan to build as Turbo 13BT. but change to EFI 13BPP. and last to 58 IDA 13BPP.

Man I cant wait to get another rx7 someday
Tips for projects...
Make lots and lots of lists
Start with very open lists then form them down into more specific lists
Schedule time to work on the car 10-6 on saturdays works for me and my buddy
Do not get overwhelmed
Start off small, like alot of guys are saying driving is more fun then turning a wrench. Figure out what you can get done with the time your allowing yourself and tear it down the following season.
Seriously the list technique is key..having a game plan before you do things is helpful and crossing things off helps you feel like your getting somewhere
