Thanks. The miata really prepared me for this car.
Next up will be installing a new ac meter bezel. There were only 5 in the states. I didn't want to miss out. That I believe will come tomorrow.
After that, I'll be ordering new door cups and trim on the tan door card. I'm also thinking of buying those cards new too because on my current panels, the mounts for the plastic to screw into are broken. Just depends how much they are.

I'm a little upset that the B-spec kit shine auto makes uses fender flares. I really liked the clean look until I found that out. So the 99 spec is the decision as of now.

So a few things:
Kept checking my oil levels and the oil gauge on the cluster was acting sporadic. Oil wwas decreasing but I wasn't seeing much on the ground where I parked. Just a drip. So I called Lowes automotive and brought the car in where the motor was completely rebuilt by the shop.*
Come to find out, the oil send get unit seal was leaking and it was replaced under there warranty even being the second owner. They were very helpful. Thought the motor is not a year old yet.
So I found out yesterday that the drivers side fan isn't kicking on. Checked the fuse and it's still intact. The passenger is working fine. I confirmed the malfunction turning on the ac when both fans are supposed to kick on.*
So I'm trying to find out if I should get a new oem fan motor or go after market and purchase a fan setup like spal?
Also, does anyone know of any nice gauges other aem

I would go with an OEM fan motor for now, you should be able to get one from any of the Mazda Dealers. If you add aftermarket fans like spal or something I think you are adding an extra headache. Just get the motor and accessories back to 100% and go aftermarket once you are more experienced and comfortable with the car later on. Really depends on your experience level too.

Greddy has some nice gauges but they are 60mm size and very expensive too

I took several people's advice and they seem to be on the same page. I ordered two new fan motors from mazda for a little less then 200 each. They lowered the price just above their costs which was financially helpful. They always take care of me. I will get them tomorrow and do the installation myself.

Sexy cars for sure, don't paint that Montego Blue RX7, it looks great as is.

They paint on the car is still amazing for 22 years but the green is more dominant then the blue. Though I manipulated the colors a bit, you can still see hints of blue in person. All the seals will be replaced on the outside and door jams.
But we're talking after I purchase an authentic new spec 99 front end.

I have some issues I need to clear up like Why am I keeping my hand on the shifter for so long? Why am I not having both hands on the steering wheel like I should be doing instead swagging it out one handed on the course?
Need to work on that. Also the video is my best time. 49.813
I was getting 50.2- 50.7 all day long. So I was enthusiastic about breaking under 50

Today the car is getting the front windshield pulled to replace the moulding and stripping around the perimeter. It's curling and exposing what's underneath. I don't want a future problem with rust where water seeps in little pockets of the old adhesive. I was told that the previous owner also quite possibly tried to add a adhesive himself to fix the issue. So I'm going in there with oem seals getting the job done right.
