Hello and welcome.....you made a good choice starting with a Second Gen RX7. Good, solid, reliable car.

One piece of advice. Before, during and after your build, read the ITCS section of the GCR many times. It's our rulebook, is very short and will answer most any questions a new guy building a car will have. For some of the unanswerable ones, come here, post and it and watch the debates begin...lol......

Reading the rules not only tells you what you can and can't do, but also may give you ideas about things you have not thought of. Rules are available for free, online, at www.scca.org.

To answer your specific questions, you should try to figure out a way to use a stock tranny mount on the RX7. I'm sure someone here has converted from auto to manual and can help you with that.

Second, no, lexan is not legal for windows/hatches.

What Jeff Said ^^^^^

"Custom" tranny mount is illegal. Stock mount is legal.

Lexan = illegal

Vin plate shouldn't be a big deal.

Good luck and have fun

awesome thanks for ur help...hmmm i dont know what to do about the tranny mount then cuz the mounting points are way off i mean they are like a good...5 inches apart i think, what i did was i got the manuel mount and the auto mount and 2 metal squares and welded it together and braced it up.... i hope the vin plate wont be a problem lol it would suck to build my car and find out it cant be used lol.. btw thanks for ur help...
