Very nice, this is quite the extensive makeover. Although, I have always been told that N/A stands for "No Acceleration". Interested in seeing the finished product.

The end goal is to get the car under 2500 lbs with me in it and 220+ HP to the wheels. Will it be fast? No, but it should be plenty fun and without the turbo it should be pretty durable and damn simple to work on.

To prove I haven't been a lazy bastard here's some more pictures of the carnage going on with the red car. Rear hatch area stripped and filled with trim pieces I no longer need:



Doing work on the front:



Rear defroster, rear cargo light, driver's side auto seatbelt, power lock, power mirror, rear speaker, and rear anti-theft wires removed:



...and the pile of parts to transfer over grows larger:



Is anyone is looking or knows of someone looking for S4 or S5 RX7 parts let me know. I'm running out of space to store everything!

You talking about the black interior???

Or you talking about the other gray interior?

Or just parts in general?

I need stupid stuff like the ECU "cover" and the dash metal panel, although I have no idea how much it'll cost to ship something bulky like that.
