Bitching project btw.
Did you have to relocate the steering rack?

steering rack has not been moved from stock location.
also, i am sure he added enough extras to the back and pulled stuff from the front to counteract the extra weight of the 2JZ

Should be sweet. Plan on upgrading the stock torsen in the rear end... it won't last long.
If you want to buy my Dodge Viper Dana 44 rear end (9.3" ring gear) to install out back it is for sale ($600 shipped). Has the stock 3:07 gears. You would need to get some custom axles fabbed but could handle about anything you could throw at it. I was going to build a wild turbo Buick GN V6 setup but got into road racing instead. I longer need this rear end.
I assume your location S.D. is San Diego?

this is fuggin SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!
just want all the haters to understand that, until you drive an rx7 w/ a v8 or whatever up front... you have absolutely no idea how WELL they handle. 50/50 weight distribution is NOT the best. a little weight up front helps with how the car goes in and out of the apex
MORE PICS PLZ!!!

HAHA!!! Sup Roach! Damn us south dakotans and doing all our none rotary swaps! When i go to TVR this year, im def going to have to check out your RX. and maybe next year i'll have mine turbo'd and ready to go. not sure yet if i want to go with a enthalpy tune ecu, or a Stand alone AEM system...your going stand alone right? and im guess AEM, since Excessive is doing all the work for ya. Well **** dude...take some more pictures of that bad boy, and you should post up the pics of the engine cradle that they made for you, becuase it is HOT!

I wish drag radials helped. I have 315 BFG in my lowly 390WHP LS1 FD and I spin the **** out of those, imagine what this beast will do!! You're going to have to be real careful. BTW, its comming out nice.
I to molded the Pettiracing flares and I say it looks a lot better than just bolted. YOu are going to be one happy person once it is finished.
I am curious, what front end are you going with? Any sideskits, difusers?

car is soooo close to being done guys/gals....
sorry i havent had time to post more pics. ill make sure to get some for you asap.
and yes js3324 the car will be making mad hp. after talking with joey (they guy doing the work) we will be giving it a moderate tune to start, around 600whp. then after a while we'll push it hard and go for the 900whp mark.....
ill keep you posted
