Solo I/II FC build
I just got my hands on a GXL with a blown motor and a fried computer. I've been AutoX'ing quite a bit in my Protege5 (THSCC's STS guys better watch out in the next few monthes), but I wanted something a little faster and more versatile for Solo I and Solo II events. I'll be stripping the car completely down in the next few weeks to have a cage welded in and everything painted. I've been studying as much RX-7 info as I can find online, but I don't want to screw any part of this project up. If there is anyone in the central NC area who would love to waste a day or two and show me all the in's and out's first hand I would be very gratefull. I'll have a motor sitting around that you can show me how to tear down.
After I get the cage done I'll be concentrating on the suspension and then on the motor and drivetrain. I expect this project to take over a year to complete, but I refuse to cut corners on this.
Any and all input would be very appreciated.
(Soory for the quadruple post...the submit new thread page kept stalling and had to be reloaded...can a mod please remove the duplicates...thanks)

If you don't screw up any part of the project, how will you spend extra money, curse a lot, have several months to mull it over, or end up with parts you bought but can't use?
Are you going to have ANY fun?

I did some seam welding and went pretty hardcore on the cage I built for my Turbo II road race car.
