Mines came right on time. A nice bottle of MMO (just in case) fluids topped off. Fixing little things like the shifter surround and waiting for the weather to get better so I can give her a nice washing.

EDIT: MMO=Super Gas treatment? or did I get the wrong stuff?

My baby got:

A brand new RB header, (yea no more stock!)

Wideband tuner!

I am a hundred dollars away now from my new carb set up!

And a little gift from me to her. I sanded down all the black trim around the windows, and I am going to repaint it, along with the front and rear bumpers! Also You know the hatch lock plate. Well the RX7 has long faded off, so I also sanded that down, so I can restore that.
