Last weekend, with most of my interior sent off to various shops, there wasn’t much for me to do. I took the opportunity instead to knock out a few smaller items on the list. For one, the finish on the V-Mount’s ducting wasn’t the cleanest. I had a hard time polishing it completely mirror. I […]

The stock-sized Stoptech rear rotors I threw on when I installed the Brembo BBK bugged me and seemed like a half-step. After I was finished with the install, I was consistently reminded of the missed chance to upsize the rears as well. With the larger Brembos up front, the rears looked too tiny and threw […]

Tying into the dash retrofit, I am able to remove the passenger side airbag and effectively the remaining components of the system. Knowing I was moving forward in this direction, I sold off the Alcantara Nardi steering wheel. I later sold away my entire ’99 front end, excluding the combo lights. With the car bumper-less, […]

While I have been steadily trimming the fat from my RX-7 with intentions to “refine” it into a pure sports car, there is one feature that won’t be going anywhere: the stereo system! Unfortunately, given that this car is 2 decades old now, the stock system is very lacking. The Pioneer headunit I installed did […]

Not too long ago, I thought that the RX-7 was “pretty much done” and I could finally give it that stamp of approval. My definition of “pretty much done” is extremely open to interpretation because I slapped that stamp out of my own hand and proceeded to teardown like there was no tomorrow. As if […]

All good things come to an end… and then get replaced with other good things. Following the same mindset in regards to switching the Rega Masters out in favor of the Advans, I decided the exhaust could benefit from added zest. While the FEED Sonic was supremely light and sounded perfect, I felt that it […]

With the hood freshly repainted, for the third time, I wanted to take additional measures to protect it from engine heat. In the long run, this will be better for the paint and especially the molding areas of the vent. Expansion and contraction from heat of 2 dissimilar materials that are bonded together should be […]

There’s plenty I want to update on, but it’s been hard to do because many of the things I’m up to are still stuck in the work in progress phase. I’ll probably resort to more incremental posts just to keep the flow going – kind of like this one. Can you spot the difference in […]

People armed with high-end DSLR’s were abundant during Wekfest. There was even a duo pulling around a large, steel videography crane… which I thought was a bit ridiculous given how packed the venue was. Of course, after the show, I waited a couple of days for the media to percolate and was able to pick […]

This post should offer clues into a major project that I am undertaking. I would like to share the new quick release I picked up, from Oregon based Rothsport Racing. I think the fact that I actually favored this particular quick release over a Works Bell unit speaks to its standards. The downside to the […]

When written down on paper, this does sound a bit crazy: After all the work of sourcing, refinishing, and mounting the RegaMasters, I have decided it’s time for a change. What were once considered to be my dream set of wheels have now grown stale. The underlying reason behind my change of heart is that […]

While my pace with the car has certainly slowed down, it is by no means at a halt. There’s still plenty to do and I’ve been actively working in the background. Admittedly, I need to fall back into a rhythm with this website to keep the updates flowing. Let’s start with a small part I […]
