Hey man if you want an idea of what the wheels look like these are identical.....except 15" instead of 14"......and 4X113 instead of 4X110. You get the idea!

We may have a new option DJ.... A gsl-se just became availible....

We could run the gsl-se with

my spare 13b (2nd gen)
chads shocks
those rims with some race rubber
springs and other suspension..

Part out the "copper" car (current project) and use the se- instead..

Oh yeah, I have a hook up for a custom made roll cage if we need it. If anyone knows Jimmy from Essentially Off Road (the owner) he is a spectacular welder (stacks nickels) and build roll cages meant for extreme rock crawlers. I think he can handle one for our lowly RX-7!

Update on the "project"

Chad just picked up an 81-83-something or other rx-7 It has the fender we needed and we are going to swap the black dash out of it into the project car. It is sitting at my mother in laws house, I will get out there this weekend to get a jumpstart on pulling the parts we needed and installing them on the "project" I will also be installing a battery and checking the fuilds on the project as well as doing a poor man's compression test.

Thank God chad has a trailer, he disposed a FC shell I had laying around, and really helped me clean up the "pad" at my mother in laws house. We are preparing to build a privacy fence so we can really start tearing into this car and doing so without my mother in law having to see the mess....

Keep checking back I may paint the car before winter is up...

Do you have a LSD chunk for the car? Also, there are GSL-SE suspensions to be had in Atlanta if it's worth the drive.

Well folks change of plans..... We are going to finish my 13B 6 port car (white one pictured) as the track car, it seems that the motors in both the other two are shot (imagine that). The white one currently has a 13B 6 port 2nd gen motor sitting in it. All it needs is the fuel system. I am probably going to run a modified Nikki carb and a manifold adapter. This should give the car a "stock" appearance under the hood. Chad is donating his shocks and I have all teh body panels to put it back together.

Hopefully it will be up and running by march when the season gets going.

Here is what we have for it so far..

5 way adjustable struts
race tires
(chad bought a welder so we can make strut braces now!!!)
13b 6 port motor
new clutch
seats....

Chris,
Shoot us the info on the car and pics if you can. The GSL rear end would be nice for the track car.
