Congrats on the pick up. Car is already off to a nice start with the OEM hardtop. As for the Volks, the color is nice, but I think the wheels would look better in bronze finish on a red car. Silver may end up looking kind of plain. Just my opinion, of course. Here's a pic for a visual: By the way, is that your FD in your avatar? It's beautiful. If so, would love to see some pictures of it

I thought about bronze and I do like the matte finish that it has. I am really looking for a dark matte grey but rays doesn't really have a finish I like. I may end up painting these wheels if I can't get the car looking the way I want it to.

The FD in my avatar was a previous build I did a few years ago. I should have never sold it!!!

Looking forward to see what you decide to do with the wheels and the progression of the build.

Wow, the RX-7 was quite the looker. I love the simplicity of the build. Nice job on the build.

Just picked up a Shorai battery and KCM battery tray from Colin. Fit and finish of KCM's battery hold downs and tray is top notch!




Can't wait to install these other parts as well.

Productive week on the build. I dropped the car off at Ballade Sports to have all their parts installed. I also am having the 30k service done by them as well.



RE-11A mounted on volks.



Some parts waiting to be installed on car.
