I have been very busy with the racecar.

So have Oliver every time he could find a few hours in his busy scheduel.
He made a new wing for it, unfortunately I havent taken a picture of it yet, but I promise You that its badass and not very stealth like
It looks something like this but just a tit more vulgar

Oliver also modified the TWR frontspoiler and Of course he will say "sure Ill do it" when we need a fiberglass vented hood

Here is a few of the car when I saw it for the first time...

Unfortunatly the motor have had an accident, the front rotor ate a piece of housing and all sideseals on one side was stuck, I was told that it might have been overreved, which sounds about right due to the missing RPM cable.

While the motor was out we decided to clean it all and paint it with white radiator-paint(strong) Plus its easier to spot any oil or waterleak on a white surface

Since finances were low from buying the car it was not an option to get new MFR PP rotorhousings so I put my spare bridged FC 6port motor together and gave it the drysump pump setup from the racemotor.

Going from EFI to Carb is easy if your not a cheap bastard like me.
A manifold was fabricated to fit the6port motor and the 51mm IDA Weber.

The "dashboard" needed new gauges as most of them were mechanical, i didnt like the idea of having oilpressure inside the cabin.
I used the original dash to mount the gauges. When ever possible the original equipment will be refreshed and reused.

The intermistic headlights looked like **** and had to go.
Here is the rough setup.
In the second picture You will see my daily driver AKA Retroyota HiAss.
My Fc was sold to get some money for the project. Sacrifices had to be made I still miss my FC

Whoever worked on this car before had mounted a BMW EFI pump(6bar) to feed the Weber, it litteraly poured gas out the exhaust and is replaced by an Holley Blue electric pump.

After assembling the differential(not funny) time was spend sanding and filling the bodywork, its clear for everybody that im no pro at it, but this is a racecar so no big deal about the few screw ups.

When done it should look like this Mx-3 which races in the same class that this car will(Special Saloon) We have teamed up with this local guy in order to make everything cheaper on racedays, he also helped alot with parts and stuff.

Back from the paintshop and into the garage where she belongs
BTW Black paint shows EVERY little spot or dent

Due to the not so well alligned twin plate clutch it was kindda hard to get the motor in, we ended up with taking the gearbox out and put it together, then took it apart and put the throwout bearing in and put it back together again
http://www.wankelkim.net/rx7/fb/newpaint%20(3).JPG

Motor is in, I had to make new motormounts because i "forgot" wher i put the old ones(Do you see a pattern here)

Reassembly has begun, this is the slow part of the project. Whereever necessary Nyloc nuts are used so things wont come apart.

Getting closer to the startup of the freshly rebuilt engine, though we still need a fuel cell, it should be on its way from the states as I write this.
