    That hood looks tight as fuck as it sits to me for some reason. That's a badass swap.

    I am almost embarrassed to post this video but its all I have right this second. The car's maiden voyage taken from my friends 5 year old cell phone.

    I was in 5th gear we were going probably 65-ish and he floored it (350 Chevrolet pickup) and you can hear when I give it about 3/4 throttle in 5th gear (then you don't hear shit till the end).



    I promise better vids are coming, the car just recently got on the road without any issues. After that vid the water pump was replaced and now the clutch is almost fully broken in. It is a pretty intense ride, you cannot fully appreciate this swap until you see the car in person and even then you don't understand until you've ridden in this thing, haha. More (better) vids coming!

    You don't realize how many times I've contemplated selling it LOL. Now that there is light at the end of the tunnel (still needs wide-body, wheels, and paint) I'm starting to fall in love with the car all over again.

    You should have seen the face on some of the people I was around in traffic that day. A guy in an SC300 almost broke his neck when he realized "HEY THATS NOT A ROTARY." Makes it all worth it, the trouble, time, money, etc.

    What do you guys think about running some 16x10.5 et-15 wheels on the rear of the 7? 245/35 tires stretched over them. I'm gonna roll and possibly flare the RX7 to fit wide wheels so thats not an issue. Just looking for opinions and suggestions on good sizes and offsets for the car. I can safely run the -15 offset since its nearly the same backspace as another set of wheels I had on there just with WAAAY more lip.

    Congrats on getting the car running. I'm a fan of the "WTF is that noise?!?" face too.
    Head over to www.v8rx7forum.com for some more targetted help. Feel free to post up a build-up thread too. New ideas are always welcomed.

    The SHO is my friend's, thats his house.

    I'm already on v8rx7forum but I haven't updated my thread in a long time. I might do that right now.

    Thanks for the comments, I just need to get this wheel situation figured out. Its ripping up these 205's I have right now. Any suggestions on FB wheel fitment? Rx7club members are really conservative in wheel fitment so I don't even mess with them.
