A bit overdue at this point as the car is more or less complete. I was compiling pictures from my past 3 phones and figured I'd post up some of the stuff I found.
This post will contain the background of the car I guess. I'll keep working to update when I complete other projects on the car.
1994 RX7 R2 -
The car still in Japan. Basically stock at this point. Only mods I can remember were wheels, Endless brake pads, and Mazdaspeed type A springs/struts.
Got a few track days in at Race City that year. I think at this point I had installed a cat delete, chipped ECU, and a modified airbox.
Towards the end of the year, I decided to pull the engine apart as there was a lot more smoke than I would have liked for a stock engine.
But unfortunately, the engine internals had nearly 100 000km on them. While many parts were technically within spec, I didn't feel good about putting an engine back together with the kind of step wear and housing markings that were present. I found a good deal on a streetported engine in Sask and slapped it in with the absolute cheapest turbo kit I could piece together (university student at the time)
The colour scheme seemed like a good idea when I thought it up

I also installed a Power FC around this time. 100% street tune at this point, running 8psi iirc. I got to do a couple more track days and then the mystery Sask engine succumbed to corrosion.
