Can't wait to see the car at SEMA!
I'm currently putting the car together for SEMA and I can't upload all the stuff that's going on..
I'll make this short and share 2-3 pics.. including the render done by amazing artist and designer, Greg Thompson. He did an amazing job rendering the car with few pics I sent him and list of goodies I was going to put on. Just amazing work!! Since its so close to SEMA, I'll share the render to give you guys an idea what it will look like (exterior).
Hint of couple of parts..
I'll update the full car on my way to SEMA..

I'm not sure if you mentioned it earlier, but what v-mount setup are you running and are you relocating the A/C or taking it out entirely?
Awesome! Let me know when you might be coming by. Send me a PM as I'll be walking around.. Its at the North Lobby.
LOL! Let me know when you win the lottery
Building an identical one will be a tough task.V mount is custom set up by my friend Walker Morgan from MPFab.com. He's an amazing fabricator and I am super happy with his work. AC has been taken out.
Thanks Antoine! Hopefully next couple of years I'll re-do the Cosmo.
Here are some updated pics as I get ready for SEMA Las Vegas.
More pics coming once the car is set up at SEMA.... I just unloaded yesterday..

Well seeing how Phil here has some one of a kind digital dash, I'm sure some of the parts are just plain not available lol.
And that little front clip sneak peak is SUCH a tease! >:[

So...it appears that Mazda is closing the books on the RX-8 by making 1,000 RX-8 Spirit R's
Also, Mazda plans to redesign and re-release the FD in 2017 with improvements. The car should be lighter (weight should be similar to an AE86) and they are looking at started with an N/A 300HP motor, possibly leaning towards turbo models later. The redesigned FD will most likely use the 16x Rotary engine unveiled in 2007.
Key among Yamamoto's powertrain requirements was throttle responsiveness and linearity of power delivery.
He told TMR that the stepped power delivery of the FD RX-7's sequential twin-turbochargers was not ideal for a sports car and that a larger single turbocharger would result in too much throttle lag. Therefore, a naturally-aspirated rotary is the best solution.
But while 220kW might sound low compared to many other modern sports cars, Yamamoto says that the new RX-7 will be light enough to make the most of its power.
While he was coy about the RX-7's target weight, he said it "would definitely be lighter" than the 1310kg FD RX-7, and "probably around the weight of the Toyota 86" (1250kg).
Yamamoto says that the RX-7 will be a premium product, and will likely wear a pricetag that's higher than cars like the 370Z.

I am glad that I was able to see this car in person. I wish I was able to meet up with Phil, but I was only there for 1 day so I had to make sure to get everything done. I did stare at it for a good 10 mins. If it wasnt for my friends I probably would have stayed before getting kicked out at 5pm. lol
