ewww 4 lug phone dials lol j/k

Good luck got lots of work ahead of you

BTW if your looking to make and intake for the car you can go a completely different route than what i had in my "HOW TO". your 5/6 ports are exhaust actuated and you have a VAF not a MAF so all you need is a VAF adapter and put a filter on it.
 
the inside wiring is a mess

lol phone dials now everytime i see it i laugh thanks

and as far as intakes im going to do ITB's and a standalone
 
great job on the rewiring. definitely cleaned up. the car looks like it's ready to be built up and should make for a fun project. good luck with it. keep us posted with the build.
 
Nice start that wiring job is impressive. The phone dials are sweet if they made them in 17s i would be first in line.

All that interior taken out lightens it out a a bunch. I hear you can use dry ice to get the sound mat out.

EDIT: here it is
Sunroof insert

that CF sunroof is pretty nice, but since this is the first rx7 that the sunroof works perfect i can't part with that.

Looks like you got a very nice body to work with as well.
