I changed the name of my build page today to Mothra SR20DE Swap in Florida. I haven't posted in for a bit. Updates on Mothra...
1. I now have Hagerty after fighting over how many drivers and cars I have in my household and I am happy with my policy plus no driving limits!
2. I took a little width off the rear wheel adapters and the rubbing is fixed but I plan on lowering the rear a little by removing the rubber spacers on the leaf springs I added. Hoping I will continue to have no rubbing issues after that.
3. My Soft top is finally on, although it is not a perfect fit, close to perfect but not perfect around the door windows. I have had three soft tops sent from Cabrio World who gets their tops from EzOn tops. They are still willing to give me a refund which is amazing they stand by there products so well. I told them I would like them to try one more time because they are so close to perfect and I am not sure if they want to or not at this point.
4. I have been driving the crap out of her and it finally looks like I have all the major issues taken care of. For those of you that read that I installed the 240Z electric power steering, it is absolutely fabulous! I still have plenty of road feel without the issue of turning my big front tires at low speeds.
5. My front end airdam has not rubbed or touched any speed bumps or steep driveways so I think I have perfect height.
6. Vintage Air is working perfectly with heat and cold.
7. Front and rear cameras are working awesome.
8. I have a small leak in my rear passenger axle bearing gasket for my RX7 rear end that I want to replace soon.
9. The new larger Subaru Justy alternator is working great and powers everything with no issues. Thanks to M Spreadbury AGAIN!
10. I have entered two car shows so far and no trophy yet but I know one is not to far off.

You guys are so funny... It's Mothra not Mothers, Nissan GTR is nicknamed Godzilla and my roadster is Mothra the giant kaiju Moth monster queen.
