Whizbang will become famous soon enough
car is now in the garage and being taken apart. I have the FC subframe with the correct hubs, but no calipers. Going back to the pull a part for some FC parts i spied. For the time being, i am maintaining the smaller 4x114.3 back brakes to not only clear the wheels i have (FC 4 pistons are like subarus, some 15" wheels dont fit) and because i have a 4x114.3 rear. Not having different lug patterns for obvious reasons.

also, i am using the GSLSE rear axles and brakes i have. Nice 4x114.3 lug pattern (regular rx7 is 4x110) and uses vented rear rotors. So essentially, i have most of what i need. At this point just a matter of the engine. Seems as thought the 1.8 BP motor is going to be the way im going. The FE3 isn't panning out too well (granted i found the right bellhousing in my garage...) but im not driving that far for it, in addition to the added work of making...well work. Plus the miata was designed for high lateral G oiling and is dimensionally superior.

So of the other parts will be taken off the "rallyx7" project. Mostly because i wasnt able to get a title and there are cleaner cars out there. I might even take the good non sunroof of it to replace my current bondo leak fest roof.
