Still Working......

I figured that it has been awhile since my last post so a quick update is necessary. I have not stopped working on the car or given up on the project. However, as I mentioned in the first post for this blog; I am working on a very minimal budget. That said, I have been spending most of my car time attempting to sell parts so I can fund the budget for new parts.

Just last week I bit the bullet and spent some money on a used set of powder coated stock reinforced (1994-1995) RX-7 rims with a set of Hoosier A16s good for at least a few more autocross events. I found these on the RX-7 enthusiast board and luckily the member was nice enough to give a fellow racer a great deal. As an added bonus I sold some extra fuel parts I had laying around that completely paid for the rims and tires.

Actual work on the car has been postponed for another couple of weeks as I am moving into a new place, where I will finally get my own garage!!! Sometime after my move-in date of April 15th will most likely be my next post. Planned mods for the near future include: brake upgrade, custom vented stock hood, ducting for IC, oil coolers and brakes, custom undertray and a transmission swap. It's a lot of work, but I need to get this car on the track!
