New Stuff... Crunch Time

Just finished the exhaust on the RX-7, got a lot more to do still (hot-pipe setup and a roll bar by Sunday... WOW!)
Downpipe
Reduces to a 4" exhaust with 3 mufflers
So we have a lot more to do before Sunday, a lot of late nights and little sleep.  As for my car, here is a small update picture:  Recirculating BOV fitting and valve cover painted

Sunday = Norwalk for some drag racing.  Can't wait!

More Updates

My car is running, its awesome to be back in a fast car for a change.  Here are some up to date pictures, added to the engine bay are my very own made 3" intake and catch can, both polished by myself.
 I also started on another valve cover, -10AN Weld on Fitting and then I welded all unused holes/cut all unused bolt holes.  It will look very clean I think, I plan on painting it myself instead of powder coating it.
 As for my friend's project, the manifold is finished!  Waste gate is fitted, dumptube is on, and everything fits!

Down-pipe is being fabricated tomorrow.

Everything is starting to come together

First things first, tranny is back in my car, just another few things to bolt on, finish the catch can, and possibly the 3" cold pipe.  Got 1 of my slicks mounted, looks HOT!  The catch can is coming along nicely as well!
Slick and skinny
Ugly welds on the inside =/
Pimping welds on the outside, minus one spot, which I named fugly!  Its FUGLY!
Hotness!

Manifold is coming along nicely.  Finished welding it up tonight.  Next up is fitting the wastegate on, than downpipe and full exhaust.  Pics are cell phone, sorry for not the normal quality, and are in sequential order.
 Better pictures and more progress will be made soon!
