Still haven't had time to adjust the heights on them to be the same. Need to raise the front and lower the back. Maybe this weekend.

I'm waiting to try a ride in yours, still looking for a killer deal. Not likely to see much track anytime soon. Also want to do the bushings at the same time, had extra paperwork for uncle Sam .. Should be getting a Fd worthy return. I'm looking for the vented hood, headlights at the moment. Then it's add the burnout rear fenders or sell my burnout fronts and bumper and go with Feed front and rear. I already have the GTC bumper and JKL undertray/splitter. REALLY feeling the Advan RS-D in 10- or 10.5 if the make them. Then paint it , back to retune with A/I. Kind of a small list to work on the next 2-3 months...

I should be at the nostalgia meet tomorrow or the next rx7 meet as long as work doesn't get in the way if you want to ride it then~

Don't you already have a vented hood? And going to pop ups? I really like the RE kit was my 2nd choice. Seems you got a lot planned!

So I've had a sloppy shifter ever since I got the car so I ordered the aluminum bushing and lower bushings... I expected them to be cracked or something. Well... I couldn't find any bushing in there, lol. Shifter feels much better now. Rebuilt the master clutch cylinder, much better now.

Adjusted the heights of the coilovers finally. got 2 at 25" and other 2 at 24.5" I'll adjust them again later...such a pita...

Girlfriend ordered me new shift boots and transmission cover so once they get on, new pics~

I'll finish the build in this thread
https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread...d-otl-1077448/

I know you miss the D 7dust.

Not rattle can this time. I upgraded to plastidip. With the sprayer, it came out much better than I expected.
