An End-of-build Retrospective on my Rx7 Evo GT by gmonsen

So, with the motor going in now, here are the specifications on the motor. I want to say, again, that what I am building is meant to be a street car with complete reliability and refinement. I have purposely given up some power to get the overall package I wanted. Refinement, better gas mileage, lower emissions, and great reliability were the main objectives. I do not want a "monster", I want a friendly pet.  Like Fritz Flynn and Peter Hahn and others, I think that 350-400 whp is the sweet spot for the chassis and that's what these specs are designed to provide.

Not sure you can see it in these pictures, but the water pump and front cover are wrinkle finish black whereas the rest of the engine that's black is just a matte paint.

Matt and Logan made me promise not to call them this week while they got the car running. Fat chance. Anyway, I'm trying to occupy myself and wondered about adding Redline's shifter and e-brake boots and that Cobb **** to accent the red seats a bit?

And this is a black shifter with red stitching from Redline's site.

Put that into mine?

And add the Delrin Cobb Shift **** instead of the gloss black?
