well i got a exaust put on it.... souds diffrent . but right now I am using it as a daily driver while i am doing a coulpe of things to the 7..... big front mount intercooler, black carpet, black dash, slicks.. hoosers R3S04's , boost controller, and maybe put some 4.10 gears back in it because 3.9 is not the same ... I blew my original 4.10 rearend up doing a 2nd gear pull when i had a piggy back computer with about 13 psi.

Well I think I have decided what to do with the truck. The plan is to take the 13B-REW with the T-66 and supporting mods and put it in the REPU with a SE front cover with a T2 crank angle sensor and use the REPU's Jatco 3 speed transmission. I am waiting to here back on a price quote from a place in Australia for a manual shift valve body and an upgraded servo. With those two mods to the auto box it should hold 450 hp. I am going to use the stock torque converter for now. As far as cooling goes I am also going to put in a new aluminum radiator, smaller intercooler (to help with the lag), and a large transmission cooler.
I am also going to be doing a couple of suspension mods, most of them just being replacing bushings in the control arms, but I am going to get up graded sway bars to help with the body roll. I might put traction bars on the rear leaf springs to help out, but I would rather not.
As far as the RX-7 is concerned I will be putting a 12a back in it, but this time with a blow through turbo set up. I should be good for around 220 hp which won't be the same but still fun.
I will try to take pictures and document the progress of both, but mainly the REPU and post them on here.
Later, Kevin

They both should be good daily drivers, I just didn't want to push my luck with the 7 any more.

Let me check on those Moog parts because I can probably get them pretty cheap.
