Video: What I've been working on lately

[DustenT]

I do a lot of work for a small shop in central Wisconsin called 180 customs. We've been building up a 2nd gen Mazda RX-7 for the last couple months. We swapped in a Nissan SR20DET turbo 2L motor with a bunch of bolt on goodies. It's got a full widebody kit and countless other mods. The owner of 180 customs is building this as a track day car. Just thought I'd share a quick video I made from last weekend. The front fenders and bumper are one piece, we have them removed for painting so it looks a little naked. The windshield is getting put in this week, so there is a bit of wind noise. 350-400hp is the power goal once tuned. You can see the wires running through the windshield, that's for the wideband and the AEM full standalone ECU.

One of our guys is a SR20 expert, plus we get them for dirt cheap. This is also the reason that one of those SR20s will likely end up in my 318ti sometime down the road. It's an incredible motor and can but out 350hp all day long without much work. Rotary motors are a huge pain, we've had major heat problems with them, plus you need to be a Wankel expert to really extract a lot of power from them.

Glad you like the video, we've put a lot of work into it.
