I am a transplant from the rx7 club... Well, I never thought I would do it but after owning +30 Rotary powered rx7's I finally purchased a nearly complete fully track prepped LS1 FC... The car runs and drives very well and has more goodies than I can list but I will try and then ask some quesitons.. I think some of you know this car, it's kinda famous, or maybe infamous....

The car runs and drives, but needs some minor stuff to be where I need it to be. It was an unfinished build but came around at the right time for me... I was about to do an engine swap into my Miata when this thing reared its head.. The car has lowish miles on the chassis and is in good shape. The company that started the build was a little rough on the interior when they installed the cage and the transmission shifter.. but that is mainly cosmetic.
On my list to fix...
No guages at all, speedo, temp, tach all (except speedo) available via MSD handheld but I want guages.. Will probably need help with this..
Windshield has a good crack..
Fuel cell needs trim around opening (just raw cut now)
Padding the cage so I can drive it on the street
Major exterior clean, and interior decision making.. (not sure If I am going to keep it full interior or not..
Any tips, tricks or encouragement would be awesome.. I will be autocrossing the car as this is replacing my track prepped miata.
