So more parts have been ordered. I promise one of these days I will get around to taking pictures of all the parts that I have bought and the parts that I have cleaned up so this is a proper build thread.

I was able to score a cheap turbo downpipe so I will have less of a headache when completing that part of the build.

Couple more parts have been ordered. Moving things to the garage at my new apartment over the next few days to I will have a good update soon.

Getting closer, man! Definitely keeping an eye on your Turbo build, so I can see if I want to go this route myself next year.

Have a great Birthday drive!

Got a few more things today.

The BBK rotors came in as did the hardware kit.

The downpipe came today.

Got a set of the BMW Motorsport handles

And put in new spring perches and a set of roller bearings to help the coilovers stop binding from time to time.

More pictures to come.

Test fitted the RX7 calipers and they will fit with both of my current wheels so that is a plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again another boring text update. One of these days I will have some great pictures to go along with the updates.

Engine tear down has really begun as I have now got the engine to the new garage.

Ordered the good and tight turbo manifold and that should be here this week.

I am hoping to get in on bluntech OEM buy and get a bunch of new nuts and bolts for the car. That way I can get a few things updated to new!

So pictures will come at some time.

Jeremy,
I'm going to snap some pics of your car this weekend at the Auto-X event. I just got a new 70-300 lens that should help me get better pics of you on the course. Some time after that, I'll have to go to your new digs and get pics of the swap in progress...

**JeremyE30autox** · 04-03-2012, 09:12 PM

Here are some new pictures.

Didnt have the time to upload them to photobucket.

They are of test fitting the rx7 brake calipers

The new Good N Tight turbo manifold and the camshafts which look to be in great shape.

Hoping to disassemble the rest of the engine within the next couple weeks and get it cleaned up.

More to come!
