Message I still can't believe this!!

She still needs some work, but at least is finally running on the streets of Lima with her own power.

Here's the story (the shortest I could get):

The shop that was working on my Z ****ed up the engine...After long talks they recognized it was their mistake and offered to fix it...That's when me and my brother thought about taking the opportunity to built my engine to where I wanted it to be (550+RWHP), so we ordered forget pistons, new crankshaft, ported heads, reworked valves, new valve lifters, gasket kit, ARP stud kit, etc, etc...After almost 2 years collecting parts, getting parts lost at customs, paying exagerated taxes and having lots of dealys, it was the time to start the built the engine and that's when we found out my brand new crankshaft was torn...At the end the guy who sold me the CS didn't want to recognize the problem and we put our built on hold again.

While all this situation was happening me and my brother got the opportunity to buy a 15K mile 93 RX7 (the cleanest example in the country), so we bought it and decided we had to sell the blue Z, save the collected parts for the white Z and buy a stock TT engine from Japan for the blue Z.

Months went by and we finally bought the engine, installed it and found out some electrical problems...Once those problems were fixed it was time to start the engine and take the Z back home, but another problem appeared, the Z wasn't making any oil pressure, so we had to pull the engine and found out that the oil pan was bend...the oil pan got fixed and the engine put back in place to have the car finally running and back to my home where she belongs.

Once I sell my blue Z, the white one will get a nice built and my FD will also get some nice parts...Can't wait to see all the problems I'll get for building my white Z now, lol.

On to the pics...

New front bumper (still a prototype) that will be offered to the market soon...Still not bolted correctly until it goes to the paint shop as soon as we get back from Z Nationals.

No taillights since the stock ones are getting slighly smoked...Also, I'll be installing a Type I rear bumper and Kaminari side skirts very soon!

Both of my prototype bumpers that will hit the market at the same time very soon!

This pic of Zeus was too cute, so I had to share!
