Replicating my to be in 3 days car: Mazda FC3S RX-7(Tamiya)

Alright, this model is going to replicate my car which I'm getting in three days. The only difference is that mine is not a turbo. My car is a 1989 Mazda RX-7 FC3S 1.3L non-turbo. This puppy is mint, only 19,000K on an ORIGINAL Rotary. I want to put the GP-Sports GFour kits on it as well as some Work Meister 18 inch wheels. Well, now for the 1/24 scale of it, here's some progress:
Engine:I accidently forgot to put the fan in, but will put in when I paint it


Suspension:

SAS Brembo Drilled Brakes(Thank you very much Chris)Not completely finshed:

Nice start to a kick ass model! Did you happen to pick this kit up from a LHS, and they had another in stock? I'm on a high-paying prowl for one of these babys.

Awesome engine! The suspension is sweet as well as the brakes! Can't wait to see the exterior! Mind sharing pictures of the 1:1 this is supposed to replicate
