Thanks for the help Goodfella, I just talked to Alex today and he said I should go with the Exedy twin plate.

Z-beater, I know of a shop here in town that has all the lines and A/N fittings that I should need.

I would have liked to go with the v-mount but like you said with that kind of flang it wasnt an option. What HP will your car put down?

Planning to move to Austin sometime soon. Hopefully in May time frame.

You'll really like a stand alone. My car is so much more reliable now and even after sitting all winter starts on first crank when it was 30 something out.

What ever happened to 'stock twins?'

Just got my tires mounted today. These wheels are sweet.

On the matter of the stand alone im waiting on a few more quotes before I go with one person. As of rite now Rotary performance is the only one that I have gotten a quote from. So if anyone knows where else to get a TEC3 GT let me know.

The only reason that Im going with the GT at this point is because of what I have read about it and that is what Rotary Performance recommends. I know that the regular TEC3 will work. I have been told that the GT is designed more towards the rotary.

Getting ready to order the stand alone here this week. I have never done anything like wiring a car before. It might take me some time.

Do you have any plans to upgrade the front end to assist that huge intercooler? So far you only have direct air flow to less than half of that intercooler. Everthing else looks great.

Nice choice on the stand alone. If you didn't know, we(Defined Autoworks) are a vendor for electromotive, we can cut you a nice deal on everything you need, from the inductive coils to the sensors. The TecGT is a great ecu, however I recomend the Tec3R. It has two more aux. inputs, therefore being able to run a 3 rotor, unlike the TecGT. Therefore down the road, if you ever decide to go 3 rotor, that is one less thing you have to buy. The Tec3R is only 300 dollars more than the GT.

Btw, I love the turbo choice too, you will not be disapointed by it. It really isn't near as laggy as what people think it is. Good luck with the duration of your build.

T-Von, I do plan on going with a larger front end. I would like to try the 99 spec.

Trjackson, Shot me a pm with all the parts that I will need to make her run. Price it with the Tec3R.

Nice build Comptech. I think I met you at NOPI STL way back when I first got my RX7. If you are still looking for a clutch that isn't rediculous get an ACT 6-Puck unsprung with an ACT extreme pressure plate. Mine hold well at 550 WHP so it shouldl work good for you too.
