Well i can now say that after everything i have sold, im about fresh out of money. But mostly all the big stuff has been purchased. so from here on out, it will mostly be labor and a couple little things here and there. Might i note, i got good money for my shifter Kart and trailer which was almost a total of about 7500.00 plus a heli i sold for 3600.00. between that and all the parts i have sold from the car itself. i have been able to purchase everything i have obtained so far.

Here is some more stuff that came in today.
the rear Hatch Lexan (Polycarbonate) Weights only 11 pounds together with the CF Hatch thats only 25 pounds together as apposed to 51 pounds for the OEM Hatch and Glass together. Also I found a radiator from someone that had one never used. dual pass and fits perfect and snug.
Still waiting on the delrin bushings to start on the suspenssion. thats when things are really going to move along.
Here are also some pics of the interrior with por15 epoxy paint

Suspenssion Arms Now Ready for Install
Here is a pic of the Arms with the new Delrin Bushings Installed. I will be installing these by the end of the week and plan on working on this all day saturday. My plans are to have the car on all 4 wheels by Sunday (Fingers Crossed) then from there i will mount the fuel cell, Oil Sump Tank and then take it back to the Roll Cage Fabricator to take care of some stuff left unfinished. Then i will begin the Plumbing and electrical.

Its Done!! Painting is complete!!!
Yesterday they finally shot the car with the paint. I have to say that i was very skeptical if the painter was going to pull it off. and he did. the paint looks awsome with the pearl color. Its the orange from the 05 Lambo Gallardo. Looks awsome.
here are some pics

here are some pics i shot today. I know i havnt posted any but as we sit. im waiting on the housings to get peripheral ported. (Put sleeve through them) and then build the motor. I pretty much have everything purchased already except for the plumbing which is my next step now. The brakes have been installed and brake line run and connected. I will next install the tranny with the dummy engine and start measuring the lengths for all the plumbing so i can order everything. im shooting for November to be completed but this all really depends on the engine builder.
Laters!

Awesome. I really hope to do something like this one day once my shop starts to really kick off...I would like to do a widebody though, with the stock dash still in place. Basically a car for running track days and possibly for drifting events, since drifting is fun also.
Keep up the good work on this car. I am eager to see it all come together.

Here We Go!
Got the Rotor housings in today. Along with Ianetti Ceramic Apex seals and also a set of Special Star Mazda Crank and water pullies. Next step is to send housings out to get machined and have Peripheral Port Sleeve installed.
Just for info, these are regular 13B GSL-SE housings and they will be machined around the area above the exaust to have a sleeve installed for Peripheral Port. I will post pics when i get them back. Hopefully around the weekend of the 28th.

i think your car is slowly taking Jack Mardikian's vintage red race car out for my ultimate dream RX-7. i am in complete awe of the way in which you are building this car. from the top of the line parts, to attention to detail, to clean installation, this car is nothing short of becoming perfect. keep up the good work. i cant wait to see it finished.

Yeah, thats the 22 gallon Fuel Cell which replaces the factory OEM Gas Tank. This cell has an inner bladder to help prevent a fuel spill in the event of an accident or rupture.
And thanks for all the compliments guys. helps as a booster to get this finished asap
