I am thinking a bone stock renisis with the 6spd would be perfect in that car i have already started measuring.

If you're going to do all that, then I would recommend an 09+ engine / trans swap. Should hold up better anyway. I just already have an extra 04~08 engine, so that's the only reason I'm, not buying an 09 to do the transplant.

That's cool. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to put it in the 7... I don't think it can run the factory RX7 gauge cluster, so I may have to do something similar to you and use the cluster and everything. yay for custom fiberglass work...

no, currently the GT-K is not configurable so u have to buy one off the shelf with what ever specs they make. I custom ordered mine it is a turbonetics 62-1 with a .81 ar ratio and ceramic ball bearings. if i had bought the standard 62-1 it would have be a 1.10 ar ratio.
