I have had this car for about 7 years now and it has come along way! It is currently stripped down to the chassis for paint, so it will be a while before it is back on the road!

Recent engine bay pic before I pulled it out again.



How it looks now.


Pretty sad I can't drive it, but it was old and busted, and needed a fresh look!

 

Very Nice! I have one of these as well. Absolute blast to drive!

 

Are you planning to shave the engine bay before paint? It will look super clean and it isn't to hard to do. time consuming but not hard.

 

Nice FD I used to race a FC and have to say that I am a HUGE fan of the rotary motor and am a little disapointed to see a chevy in your ride but bet it will look good when your done

 

same here. i have had a couple fcs and an fd. shame on you for using a chevy motor.

 

Yes I am shaving the bay, I am about half way through the painful process. The rotary motor had 22k on it before it let go of a seal. This Chevy motor makes 580whp on pump gas and weighs 80lbs less than the rotary while yielding a better front to rear weight distribution over stock. Not to mention that weighing in at 2675lbs it gets 28 highway MPG with the t56 and 3:90 rear gear. I sometimes miss the rotary but this engine is way more practical for what I am trying to achieve. Thanks for the compliments gentlemen.
