I'm most likely going to order a 15 Gallon Cell today and want to get a idea of how everyone has been mounting them. Mine will most likely go between the frame rails so that the top sits flush with the rear floor with a Billet Access Panel.

Anyhow, post pictures if you can.

 

nobody?

 

I'm looking to do the same, so also interested if anyone else has done it.

I have however installed a 1 gallon cell in a stripped out civic used for snowcross. It was zip tied to a piece of wood and then screwed to where the passenger seat used to be. Home Depot motor sports represent.

 

I got a question for ya... If you do it as you say, could you run dual exhaust instead of twin tips?

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there would be plenty of room for duals.

 

got alot of work done today....I'll post pictures this evening of how I mounted mine.

 

Took me all damn day to fab up the cell cage, fuel pump mount and get it situated in there....

should looks pretty roudy when I get the 2nd pump hanging off the other side

 

Also, the top of the cell sits 1" below the trunk floor.

 

Duals? Heck, I don't know if I'll have room for a single

 

That is a mean looking Fb buddy.

 

thanks

 

I had forgotten how phat your ride was.
I feel like it's probably the angle in the first shot that's throwing me off, but ho much lower is it sitting than the rest of the car's belly?
I spy summit racing parts. that's the exact same tank I was looking at. What pump set up is that?
And as for exhaust, side pipes?
I hope I never ever have to race you. Every time I look at those tires it gives me shivers.

 

Thanks,

The pump sits about the same height as the bottom of the differential. It's the RCI 15 Gallon Tank w/gm sending unit. Pump is the Aeromotive A1000, the filter is also Aeromotive.

Not sure on exhaust yet, my plan is to get this car as quiet as possible since it will be driven mostly on the street.

 

The more of a sleeper it is, the more people's days you can ruin. Also the less you get pulled over.
I clicked over to your profile, FUN FACT our birthday is on the same day.

 

Didn't know they made wheel skates that big! Do you ever push your car around real fast and go brap brap?

 

Yep! I bought them at Harbor Freight! Perfect Fit! They're a must for any project car!

 

Ok, so... you have a 20b.
Dogbox transmission.
Too many suspension bits to list
Apparently a ford(?) 9in rear end
and Mega cheater tires...

Anything else you want all us 1st genners to have wet dreams about??

Good luck on everything, I am learning tons on what you have done so far

 

That is just sick. I wanna know how you did the rear end cause I have been wanting to do something of the same on mine.

 

Thanks, I made a DIY thread on how I did it https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/diy-minitub-4-link-808272/page7/

 

what size is your fuel cell? and how are you going to fill it up? will you attach the original filler with the cell? wait i thought it was a 13bt?

edit, just read that its a 15 gallon tank. nvm

 

Yeah, it's a 15 Gallon Tank. I'll have to open the hatch to fill it, the cell will be accessible through a sealed billet door. I'd route it back to where the license plate is but I'll eventually have a shute there so......

yeah, old *** 13bt

 

The car looks great. I have a single turbo 3rd Gen and I just got my first 1st Gen that I'm getting ready to tear into. This car is a perfect example of how nice a 1st Gen can look. Keep up the good work.

 

I should have done this to my old fd instead of going widebody.....

 

Kind of hard to look like a sleeper when the wheels nearly touch in the middle of the car :P

Looks beautiful, and very mean. Keep it up.

 

Well, I just wanted a nice smooth look...... you know, without any of the big flares or bodykits
