finally a day off

so i got a day off finally.. and i spent it in a good way.. i finally disassembled the 13b in the back of my rx-7.... its a 6 port and really the only things i am going to use out of it are the rotors and housings.. and the shaft.. not using the end plates.. i will have to take some pics of it for you guys.. it looks bad but the housings arent scratched or anything.. they look nice.. the rotors have some carbon buildup on them.. which i figured they would since it hasnt been in a car in about 2 1/2 years.. there was one weird thing. one side was nice and cleanish.. but the front rotor and housing was all rusty coolant colored.. maybe that is from sitting in my car on its end for so long.. i hope there isnt anything wrong with it.. anyways.. pics will be up later..

one more question.. i am not using the end plates because it is a 6 port.. but can i use the middle? it doesnt really look any different than other ones i have seen.. anyone know.. i am just making a regular 4 port that is going to be half bridgeported..

Then you'd just have to plug the holes up. You can get freeze plugs that are the correct size.

okay cool.. well here are some pics.. now realize that i havent cleaned anything yet.. i am not quite sure what to use.. if you have any suggestions let me know.. but those are the 2 rotors the 2 housings the center iron and the shaft .. the rest i am not using.. and i think i may need some rotor rebuild kits.. and some nice apex seals.. i think i may have dropped a couple in my car... but without further adue.. or however you spell that
