Some new parts came in today. Changed out the belts in the rx-7....they were pretty much toasted.
Parts that came in were mainly maintenance stuff...
-oil
-oil filter
-spark plugs
-spark plug wires
-Premix for the fuel
Greddy Elbow came with the car and 6x9 speaker spacers to swap out the 5 1\4 speakers
This 99 spec wing came with the car but I really dont think Im going to keep it much less put it on.
I do like that its adjustable though.

Picked up a Peter Farrell stock mount intercooler with intake today. Dropped it off at DNA Powder coating to get the end tanks powder coated black.

Update...got the air pump eliminator in from Pettit Racing w/a new belt.
Also got the starter booster in from Pettit Racing. Hopefully this will take care of the intermittent start issue.
Now to try and find some time to install this stuff....blah.

^^Thanks man...I appreciate it. I wish I had all the center caps for the rims. I have 3...but one of the center caps flew off on the highway. Its gonna be a pain in the @$$ to find center caps for those rims.
So small update: Ordered some more parts.
- 89-91 FC thermoswith
-A/C dash vents.
-Turbo coolant lines and clips
-Battery tie down
Also found out today that I may be having issues with my master or slave cylinder or could just have air in the system. Gotta sort that out now.

Update: Picked up a used radiator from local rx7 guru Dale for a good deal. He went with a bigger radiator and I wanted an upgrade from stock plastic crap that would fit in the stock location. Worked out great for both of us. Thanks again Dale.
CSF aluminum radiator.
Still waiting on more parts...the wait is killing me.

Parts update....looks like the clutch line and coolant hoses are on back order. If I don't here anything tomorrow I might try to get them from somewhere else. Everything else seems to be coming in as scheduled.

Lookin' good man! Glad you're taking the time and fixing some things it really needs. It's amazing how much better the inside looks with new defrost vents!
On the braided clutch line, Banzai Racing and Corksport both make a very nice one for a good price and they are typically in stock. For the radiator hoses, I'd just get some new stock hoses. Aftermarket silicone hoses just aren't worth it. The stock ones last FOREVER and are of great quality. Not to mention you really can't even see them in the car. Oh, and they're not expensive. Ray at Malloy will have them in stock.
