Update with no pics......:o

 

 

 

So I recently got settled into a new garage:bangbang:

Its got lifts and pretty much any tool I could think of needing. However the RX7 will be put on hold for a week or two until I can really dive into the project. The reason being is that the VW is getting yet another transmission and clutch and I need to rip it out and then send it out to get rebuilt if there is anything left saving.....

 

However tonight after work I post up some of my new parts I got for the RX-7.

 

I also started on the Fab work for the Diamond plate Gauge cluster backing... The only two things that I will see behind my steering wheel will be a Tach and Shift light, I got inspiration from this video with John Shepard racing in it back a couple years ago and always wanted to do something like it , See Vid >>>> 1:53 mark and 2:09 mark

 

But my back cluster will be diamond plate along with some other center dash and shifter surrounding peices.

 

Pics tonight, Promis.

So here it begins the gauge cluster I have always wanted. Like previously stated Juhn Shepards 7sec car was inspiration.

 

This is in our beer pong room at my place on campus..... Thanks to TinMan I got a gauge cluster and started to get mine underway. Notice the Mikes hard, Sweet Tea and St.Ides 40oz....

Here is what Im workin with, Diamond plate and I cut a jig out of cardboard to trace onto the diamond plate. Diamondplate is not fun and the shit as

sharp be careful if you work with it its unforgiving...

Unfourtunately I left the gauge cluster bezel at the shop but ultimately this is what it will be like. The other diamond plate Im gonna use to surround my CD player and my Matching Oil, Temp, MPH gauges located by my shifter....

shanton you should get the 1.5 way diff and get rid of that shitty vlsd its a little loud and annoying but well worth it when the pedal goes to the floor. plus using a 1.5 way clutch type lsd will work for all types of racing.
