Hi Pete_89T2.
Actually it wasn't easy. Built a jig to keep everything straight. Cut the Miata to accept the FD front end while still maintaining the OEM Miata fenders. I used almost everything from the RX7, engine, drivetrain, suspension, electricals, even the instrument cluster which I had to mate with the Miata dash. Did all the CF work myself even the CF Sparco CF copies. I have a deal with a local car magazine so I can't show my build thread, 50 or so pages with photos and written logs. Wish I could. But you may see these photos:

Those are old italian ferrari wheels right? Looks a lot like the mazda limited
editions, so should look right on the car. Good find.

I have a thread about restoring waffle wheels that should apply to those as
well. I'll see if I can dig it up.
