^^^ yes the only thing that was removed was the actual tub, all of the suspension mounting stuff is all in the same place, and is the same distance as it would be on a NON tubed vehicle.

While i do stand corrected and they do appear to be in there, how practical this setup would be for a street car is another question. From the looks of the rear wheel it seems that there is not much room for suspension travel...
Nevertheless it looks good

T2 what do you want to see the dyno plot or the engine? i've posted the engine SEVERAL times...however im a pic ***** of my car so heres both 
and as far as suspension travel goes, realize i have adjustable coilovers...and they are VERY still (drift setup) so travel isnt really an issue.

if you know how to measure out rim offsets fitting rims is alot easier...lol.
Justin - Camber/suspension setup is solely a personal thing, some people like 3 degrees, some only like 1.5 degrees. its just how you like the feel.
Dloven, putting the ka in was not hard, i did it the harder way though by making my own mounts 100% from scratch, i would recommend doing what some of the other guys are doing and using the 240sx subframes (never done it but people have?)
FBslider - STEP UP THE GAME!!! doing the coilovers was not terribly hard it can be done with ALOT less modification than i did, however im just an extreme kind of guy.

extreme kind of guy
Why have you turned a mazda rotary into a nissan piston?? I get your extreme and prob into drifting but is there any advantage of doing this over buying and drifting a nissan?
Im not tryna diss you out man but imo the rotary engine is what makes the rx7.

i agree ^^^ rotary is what makes a rx7, if my rotary didnt crap out on me the first week i got it, i would have kept it in there, but there is ZERO rotary parts around here to fix the one i had, and i wasnt going to spend a couple g's to get a 12a running again, i had the nissan motor laying in my garage...so in it went.
