ok so today when doing my usual search of craigslist for resulted in finding a 08 g8 gt for just under 13k. after spending a couple hours considering selling off everything and buying it, i decided i should get my ass to work on the rx7 and stop considering it.  so i started work on the rad mount. here is what i came up with. it is setup to have ls7 air bridge over top and maximize  ground clearance for rad.

been a while since i have had an update. spent all day yesterday finishing the radiator,swapping the front subframe, and suspension, painting some things that you will not see anyway.


and today i put the the engine in for a mock up once everything is set to go i will pull it back out and paint the compartment. next on list install trans and smash floor to clear headers. then swap the rear subframe , diff and suspension.
