Got some new seats, drilled/slotted rotors with all new bearings, braided lines, hawk pads. And a new headunit and amp.

I modified the stock seat bracket/sliders to just bolt to the new seats.
I'll take more pix of the brackets tommorow when I pull them off to paint them.
Overall the fit great. the mods rise the seat 1/2" but the seat sits 1 1/2" lower than the factory, so it ends up being 1" lower after installed. Very comfy and has slots for 5 points
The new stereo is nice to, has more options than a caddie
and the subs now have 150 watts vs the old 60. so I've got new vibrations in the car, these 8's REALLY FREAKIN POUND NOW!

Sweet seats!!!

I have a question about your door bars for the cage. I just finished mine this weekend, and the instructions say the rear part of the bar should fall between the shoulder and elbow. Your's appear to be lower than that, any particular reason? Just curious.

Max7

Some of it was from a work bonus more toys after the revolution.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7964803868
Ebay supplied most of it, the seats were $425 shipped,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7965119559
the rotors were $185 shipped

I want to build a sleepy eye kit, so sellying the flush lights gives me the $ to buy parts for the new lights.

The cage is the way it came from Autopower so I have no clue, sorry.

I didn't get any pics of the engine, more bling

Also put in a new Racing beat HD clutch and PP. Stainless clutch line, new master cylinders. and, and, and hmmmm. I know theres more.....

very sweet ride! More picks, More picks!!

nice, I tried have those exact seats in my 7 (except all black), and it was too hard to get in and out for a daily driver, i guess i'll just have to strap myself in real good with my 4 point. =) If anyone in cali wants to buy those seats, i have a black pair for sale.

Are they still really heavy effort? I got mine about 5 years ago, it took alot of getting used to the effort required to disengage/engage the clutch but it does give very nice feel and feedback.

what is that black **** befind the shifter in front of arm rest in the window up and down switch a manual boost controller?

Max7

The RB clutch is firm lets say. I like it, a bit more work but I love the grip

The black **** is the Sony remote, it lets you control almost all deck functions, track, volume, bass ect with simple hand twists, very nice and keeps your eyes on the road.

Yah the seats are a bit more work to get in and out, and even more with the cage.
and even though in the summer I try to drive it everyday, its so much fun.
it is becoming more of a nice day weekend car. but Its hard not to drive it......

I'll get some more pix soon, the car is absolutly filthy, and so many things to put back together, it was on jackstands for a month. Got the revolution in 2 weeks, then tear it apart again for more "tweeks"

RotaryRevn

how much?

Max7

Just an update on the seat brakets......

the passenger side is such a pain. I gave up trying to make it a slider and just fix mounted it.
I would of had to raiser the outer side of the seat and inch to get it level with the inside due to the hump.
I still raised it 1/2" and welded and angled bracket on the inside. But it now sits level and is the same hight and distance back as the drivers side so they look good.
I'll be taking them apart and painting them when I get back from the Revolution.
SO I'd say 50% of this mod was easy, I'm going to work on relocation of the slider down under the seat so as to not raise the seat.

Wicked setup boss car looks bitching .... hehe all 80's lingo and stuff Yea I have lots of mods working on the RX7 atm but mine are all engine and I have no money so it makes it a slow process ...... but on the up side I'm moving the family into a new place with lots more room to mod rx7's hehe wouldnt take a place that at least didnt have a 2 car+ rx7 space


Again Nice Ride

Sleepy eye conversion eh? I have been tinkering with that thougt for quite some time now. There is one huge problem! A conversion of how much the lights open is a piece of cake to do. Ill explain later.. but how the hell are you going to make them lights functional? The only solution i have seen, is a sliding system, like on the second gen, where the actual lights pivots on a hinge, thus making the lights face forward no matter the opening. Are you planning something like this?

Now to the easy part. It takes about 20 mins to do and requires only a switch and some wiring. First find the wire that starts the "lifting" process. It supplies power to the motors that open the lights. Split this wire, and mount the on/off switch on a extension of this wire (in the car). The result is a very basic redneck system that lets you cut the power to the motors when they go up. Then its just a matter of fiddling with the on/off switch until you have the desired angle.

NOTE: This is a very basic (and redneck) solution to the problem. I know it works fine on a 2.gen, but.. It will not solve the problem with the lights facing down into the front bumper.

Anybody else?

Nice car by the way!

hammmy

Ho noz! Your seats are Type R!

Just kidding. Looks great.

sgieldon

Very nice set-up Mar7!!!
One of these days I'm going to figure out how to attach Pictures to my Sig, so I can get a (Nice Set-up sgieldon). 84GSL w/Bunches of $$$ invested in her.

Quick ?
Where did you get your Shifter Boot from? I have the same **** as yours and they look good together instead of my Stock Boot and Your Shift ****.
Thanks

Thanks for the comments

Wondering when someone would bring up the Type R seats

The shifter boot and **** came as a package from Summit Racing, I drilled up into the **** to make it sit lower.
Also I took the stock shift boot, and turned it upside down and cut it up a bit.

I'm going to modify the linkage so no electrical trickery will be needed

sgieldon

Hey Max7;
Thanks for the Info on the Shift Boot.
Sorry about the Mar instead Max on the Question above!
