Long term reliability and driveability is MOST important to me (at least right now!) . You're right, Glen is EXTREMELY busy right now, but he's having fun playing with their new ultrasonic parts cleaner. It does an incredible job getting old grease and grime off of engine parts.

yes its chris's car and she did keep it in nice condition. Glen has been nothing but positive experience to deal with. I am shooting for around 450-475 but i want it to be tuned 350-400 for everyday driving. reliability is very key in my build as well. nice car and hope it says on the road longer than the other AZRR car. The white car out of tucson. I will have to come see the car when i get back from korea. cant wait to see all the rx-7 people in the az area.

Merry Christmas and see you New Years Day up on South Mountain (in your Honda Fit )!

I will definitely let you and Jesse know when I'm starting the install. Yes, Fit will be my likely driver on New Year's day. I should be close on the FD, but more than likely mid to late January on getting her back on the road.

Ground X intake manifold? Is this another name for the Xcessive Manufacturing LIM or is it something else?

Tes!

Andy, I really weighed the 99 spec front end, but in the end, I decided to keep the stock front end. I really feel that once you move to the 99 spec front end it moves the look of the car too far away from it's original design intent. I may change my mind in the future, but for now, this is how I feel about the "look" of the car.
