The body kit is AIT Racing (I believe), the suspension is KYB Adjustables with Eibach Prokit springs, and the wheels are TSW EVOs redone in bronze. It also has DTSS eliminators and poly bushings throughout, as well as drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads.
The switch is an external electrical cutoff for the engine and fuel.
It has a 10.00 legal cage and battery protection inside as well. The tires on the back are 275/40/17 Nitto DRs.
JohnRXT2 built the car originally, he is responsible for the cage and bodywork/paint. He had it a fully gutted drag car, I put the basics back in it (heat/blower motor, wipers, and the interior carpet and plastics). I still have a lot to do, but it's getting there.

Don't worry yourself with silly things like engines. It's a pretty RX7, the details aren't important.

I'm not typically a big body kit guy either, but this one does flow with the body lines pretty well. I'm going to do a few little tweaks here and there still, and get the panel gap dead on, but it really does look good now. It is a touch lower than I'd like though.

Slightly out of date picture of the drivetrain when it was in my old chassis.
This picture is missing my headers, heads, 4" intake (that's a 3.5"), new PCV setup, and, judging by the dipstick, it still had an automatic in it (has a built 6 speed now). The appearance of the engine/nitrous setup is essentially unchanged though.

Sold it to a friend in Indy. It's in good shape, just not as nice as the new one. It'll be back on the road next summer most likely.
I was bored with the old one, and thought "hey, why not get a new chassis, and start all over on the stupid problems list..." Working out so far.

The transmission is a T56 from a 2002 Camaro; I rebuilt it with Viper shift forks, bronze shift pads and upgraded keys and synchros. My first transmission build; so far it's still alive with 2k miles, the build should be good for ~750-800 wheel HP in a chassis under 3k lbs.

Thanks again guys-
I finally got it running well yesterday. Had to put a pinion snubber in, as my stock diff mount was allowing enough movement to bind the driveshaft (yay torque!). She's running well now; I've got a few bits and pieces coming in the mail (new seatbelt, a few dash plastics and the door/fender S4 trim) that I need to install, than I'll have a friend who is a much better photog than me get some nice pictures up.
