That car is amazingly beautiful. Can't wait to see some videos of it.

so how are we doing on this thing?

very aweme!!

looks good!

Missed this the first time around. I need to change my shorts now! :)

me 2

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

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?

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....

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

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

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

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?)

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.

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

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

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

what king of rims are thoughs

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.

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.

very clean, that is one sweet ride

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

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!
