What happened to your sons motor?
What kind of car will you be throwing together? Another RX7?

It works great. Smooth, makes good power. It hasn't given me trouble or done anything weird. Its a lot easier to get it dialed on the dyno though. I've done it before on the street and it took me a lot longer.

Not really sure. The weather hasn't had good timing for when I've wanted to go. Ive tried testing in "mexico" a couple times and the T2 trans is fighting me.

Tranny is installed. New mount. New driveshaft. New midplate installed. Need new sheet metal for tunnel. And remaking the header. I've been pretty busy lately, finding time to work on the car has been scarce.

Last time I weighed it, it was 2150 with me in it. Ive removed some weight, but then added some weight. Bums me out, but its probably still around 2100-2150.

Nice! Wow.

Can you post some pics of what the trans looks like in the car? I also have a 3 and debating on making it my drag car. Just hate to cut up a 3 with 90k miles on it.
Thx
