That's a sleeper. It looks like a stock FD with a Greddy front mount. The stock wheels do not have enough rubber for all those extra ponies!

Did you use the Corvette ECU and wire harnesses? If so, how do you connect the Chevy wiring to the Mazda harnesses for the dash, A/C, stereo, pwr Dl & windows, etc?

i don't think an FD with a FMIC would exactly be considered a sleeper, regardless of engine lol

I've been watching this from day 1. My hat goes off to you. Makes me think I should only have one project car so I could actually finish it lol.
