^It's a Turbonetics T70...76mm compressor wheel, 2.720" inducer. It's not tuned right yet tho so it's still running very low boost. With tuning and more boost, that thing will haul!!

Nothing special, is streetported, power fc, Turbonetic t-70, some homemade garbage looking intercooler with a ebay blow off lol. Thats for now, next year is going to look a little different my plans are to do the rotary-works v mount setup, rotary works throttle, rotary-works pulleys, alky injection, dual welbro fuel pump, CMJ full fuel system with rc injectors.

Damn, I'm so excited for you LOL, it reminds me of how I felt when I got mine.

I can't see the pics til I get on my laptop, but I can't wait to see it.

Not really surprised. A Guy from NYC made it cross country on a 600 HP FD at sevenstock. But was totalled on the way back by a deer.

I was joking Ian LOL. I was planning on driving mine to SevenStock, it's Zico and Simon that want to trailer them LOL. However, after taking my car to Denver the last couple times I'm thinking I might need to trailer it too.

That sucks about the deer though, I think I heard about that one.

I was tying to point out that heat and driving long distances don't kill rx7s deers do. LOL

I might drive the black fc to sevenstock but ill most likely trailer it since I don't really wanna drive that far. I'm definitely going this year though.
