Notice the nice vice grips on the water neck, broke a bolt and didn't feel like fixing it right then.

As you can see there is still plenty of work left....
https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...d=195432&stc=1

Still alot to do, I need to get the interior back together, finish some gages and such. Alot of little things, it runs and drives which is the best part. Friday I'll be adding a 2nd muffler to tone it down a bit. everything major is done. And I still got a few months to enjoy it before I put it away for winter......

Thanks for the comments. :) couple more pix.....

finished the intercooler piping, changed the driver side to a strait piece.
Still need to fix the water neck, and make my heat shield for the turbo, clean up a few wires.

Nice moving the alternator to the side, really cleans it up :)

vipernicus42 09-12-06 04:51 PM

total awesomeness

though since XXXXIVII isn't a proper roman numeral, I gave you a good one (XXXVIII = 38)

I figured you were probably going for the idea of a really big roman numeral... but beyond there they get kinda... wonky looking (with C and M and L being thrown in there) ;)

But as for the car, kickass man, that rocks.

steve84GS TII 09-12-06 06:10 PM

MMMM....nice!

The canted radiator and black magic fan take me back a couple years.And the multirib belt has me gealous!

Dont forget to powdercoat or polish up the vise-grips!....heh,heh.

setzep 09-12-06 06:20 PM

I talked to a friend of his, and he told me that the engine blew sadly. :sad:

rxtasy3 10-21-06 10:25 PM

damn, that sux. missed the previous posts, looked like it was coming along nicely.

Yeah Max looks great! Now what is this about the engine blew? Someone mentioned that later in this thread?

Max7 10-23-06 07:09 PM

It's true, she is dead. Lost compression on the front rotor. :( But now I get to port it over winter, and have larger exhaust sleeves put in, so there is good news, and next year it will be even nicer :)
I'll try to get some nicer higher rez pix and post before I pull the engine. the camera phone really does it no justice....

Tranquil 10-23-06 07:12 PM

Oh well. Yours isn't the only project that'll "be completed next year"

diabolical1 10-23-06 11:26 PM

Max7 your car is awesome! can't wait to see it done.

Blew the front rotor? what were you doing to do that ? :D

Whizbang 10-24-06 09:26 AM

In northern ohio. all rotaries require over the winter work. you pushed the envelop and had a running car before winter. Fate stepped in and acted accordingly. lol

I think this might be true. My 207k mi junk is still running strong and refuses to die in the face of brutal torture and skin/bone cancer. In sympathy, my friend's sweet "the fenders have corners!" '79 S-model with 50k on the clock ate the rear rotor.

WHY, ROTARY GODS? WHY???

(how did I miss this thread before?)

84stock 12-25-06 05:12 PM

Can you please provide details on how you mounted the radiator at that angle. I would like to do the same while I have my engine out.

fatwake 12-25-06 09:06 PM

Beautiful car! What brand of shock tower bar is that?

John64 12-26-06 06:08 AM

Sad to hear the motor ment an early demise. Hope the next is bigger and stronger!

Maztrix 12-27-06 02:50 AM

Very nice mate, ive got the same engine in my "FB". Love how you have done the intercooler and radiator.

lanceC 12-27-06 12:14 PM

TrboRty 07-05-07 08:03 AM

Here is a picture of the update to this thread, max got the new engine, tore down,and ready to go for the meet this weekend in columbus hopefully.

John64 07-05-07 09:44 AM

That just looks scarey! The whole front garage covered in rotor parts. Has Max been around lately? His site has not been updated in years, I woud love to see all this on there.

teddyrx2 07-05-07 10:29 AM

very clean, that is one sweet ride

setzep 07-05-07 07:25 PM

Does he plan on putting in the auto that's in the pic? If so, details.... :)

Max7 07-05-07 07:51 PM

Back from the dead with Ver 2.0, hehe

Not using the Auto setzep, but it was talked about. hehe

Thanks teddy :)

John, after the engine blew I was a bit bummed and set the 7 aside and spent the last 6 months building a home theater in my house, 92" HD Projection, decked out audio/computer setup and a full wet bar. still not finished but close.
Trborty just put in his massive new motor in his 2nd gen and I got the bug again. Wed July 4th there was no engine in mine. today all it needs is the fluids, hehe. amazing what 10hr days will do. hoping to make the 7/7/7 meet in Columbus Ohio.
I need a nap!
