Thanks 5G, but I'm way ahead of you. I am, after all, on my third RX-7.

The Sport package is five lug, not many people talk about the Sport because it was only produced in relitively low numbers in '86 and '87. It was replaced by the GTU in '88, however the GTU dropped down to the base model in '89 with the GTUs taking the Sport's old spot. The GTUs is extremely rare, however. Anyway, that's why I have my Sport, it has all of the good (five lug, four pot calipers, sway bars, sport suspension, etc) and none of the bad (rear wiper, extra lights, storage bins, power steering, cruise, AAS, etc.)
I am keeping the stock N/A drivetrain, because it is lighter and I have yet to find someone who can prove it is nessicary to use a TII drivetrain. A lot of people will give you an earful of "oh, my friend's friend's sister's bother's mechanic said" kind of reasons. I know a guy who runs a TII turbo setup on an N/A engine, with an N/A drivetrain with no problems. Put in a good clutch, and you're done. The weight savings is pretty substantial, too.
As for the other stuff, I'm using a lovely slurry of US and Jap spec parts, a walbro pump, and a Volvo 740 front mount to keep it looking stock.
