- Starting with prepping the car for paint, the team stripped it down and opted for a bold fresh color.
- The engine was rebuilt with a responsive single turbo setup using quality components like a TurboSource manifold and BorgWarner EFR 7670.
- The build included upgrading fuel, ignition, and cooling systems, solving leaks, and positioning the exhaust, intake, and battery meticulously.
- Despite challenges like coolant leaks, the team persisted, addressing issues and ensuring a leak-free engine ready for dyno tests.
- The suspension was upgraded with ST components and Konig Heliogram wheels, paired with Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires.
- The interior, although brittle and worn, was restored with authentic pieces, maintaining the car's original feel.
- Final touches included 99-spec parts, fender liners, and undertrays, leading to a successful dyno test outputting 370 wheel horsepower.
- The project showcased careful planning, problem-solving, and dedication, resulting in a clean and powerful Mazda RX-7 build.
