Minor Update
So the machine shop finnished doing the fabrication for my oil squirters and they did a pefect job. Just waiting for the pistons and rods and also the O ring wire to reach which should be some time in the middle of next week then i'll take it back to get all the fabrication finnished so we can start assembling the block.
Received my new spec TOB since mine was starting to feel a bit rough I decided to change it
Also the original o ring wire I had orderd from jegs (0.062") was on back order and would not be in stock until late next week. so I contacted AMS and they advised me that the 0.041" o ring wire would be fine. so I should be receiving that around the same time as the pistons and rods.

Update:
Everything has been orderd from the AWD Spec D2 coilovers,AMS intake manifold,ARP L19 headstuds,PE Head Gasket,Full Blown Double pumper,4" intercooler and a bunch of stuff that is too long to list. But those are the major upgrades thats on the way. Also decided to swith my injectors to precision 1600cc instead of the FIC 2150 because I cant run Q16 fuel on them. I Wanna even take the time to thank Neil at extremepsi for all his help their customer service is number 1 in my books and would highly recommend them to anyone.
I even orderd a poly urethane do luck style front lip from ebay also a set of JDM evo 9 gunmetal tail lights just to be different lol.
Hopefully all my engine parts should be here in a week or 2 so I can start udating the thread with some pics. Also gonna order my QTPs tommorrow for my RX7 wheels. Any suggestions on what size to order? I was thinking 26x8.5x16. Anyways thats it for now guys so stay tuned.

Ok guys all my parts reached into miami today at my friends shop and after getting a fed ex shipping quote lets just say it was cheaper for me to buy a ticket to go and pick them up (alot of stuff) So anyways I've decided to fly out to miami this weekend so I should have some nice updates and pics as soon as I get back. Otherwise than that the only thing Im waiting for now is the AWD spec D2 coilovers. But hopefully the car should be ready to start before I leave for vacation in the next 2 weeks
