4th times a charm ?

So for the last 4 years i have been constantly changing and upgrading my 1993 Mazda Rx7. So i pick up this car mid 05. it had some decent mods on it at the time all basic bolt ons.

Greddy SMIC
Apex'i Power FC

After blowing 2 sets of twins and 2 motors in a year i said screw this im not getting my car built by nobody's ever again so i sent the car too A-spec tuning in Chicago Ill where i'm from. i heard a some great things and they had convinced me that they were the shop of shops so i figured why not they made there own turbo kits and they seemed pretty popular around the rotary community.





that was a bad idea, it took them from june to the end of December to put my car together, They lied to me and told me that my car broke the record for GT35R, it didn't. i get the car back and its tuned on C16 when i asked them too tune on pump gas. i asked for a large Street port i got half assed street port. my fuel system sucked ass, they used rubber carburetor fuel lines on fuel injected system (for those that don't know carburetor lines are good for 10psi at most, i was running 40psi of fuel threw there ) they installed twin walbro's and both mysteriously died week after i got the car back and most of my parts were bought at auto zone. I was in a bind because the car drove like crap and bucked all over the place and their warranty said if i got it retuned, That would void the warranty. That sucked because i had no choice.
so the motor went pop, which was expected, so I, shipped the car back to A-spec only for them to refuse too warranty the car because of the retune. needless to say i was not amused and they charged me for storage space and i got a mysterious dent on my rear passenger side.

well this year i decided to go crazy and i was hell bent on not sending my car to a shop after the last 3 builds. i started Early Febuary and my finsih date was may 1st figured i would be able to build a motor and complete a car within a few months with no prior experience.so work commenced...........
