Yea, I haven't even put the car in gear, and I'm already addicted. It sounds sick, and revs up in neutral much faster than my old 12A. Oh, and the blow-off sounds

Unfortunately I'm starting to suspect my clutch install, instead of a hydraulic problem. I'm going to pull the access panel on the bell housing tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it figured out without pulling the tranny. Its driving me nuts with that thing just sitting there unable to get the clutch to disengage.

 

Wow! Very very

2nd gear in the third vid was REAL short. Wassup with that? Did you spin 'em?

 

Makwana- Thanks

fatboy7- So when you push the pedal you can't the get the clutch slave to move the fork? Or it moves the fork but the clutch doesn't disengage?

inittab- Thanks, 2nd gear was short because it spins the tires like a SOB in 2nd Watch the speedometer when I get into second

 

I press the clutch, the fork moves a good travel, but no disengagment. I took a look this morning, and for some reason the clutch disc is sticking to the pressure plate. I'm in the process of pulling the tranny to take a look. Hopefully, I'll have it back together tomorrow.

Looks like your in the market for some better radials, huh

 

sounds like you need to make a custom rod for the slave. I had the same problem and i broke out the welder and some all-thread and made it adjustable worked fine but i dont have it anymore.

 

Memories, like the corner of my eye....



Dammit!

 

Yeah those vids where bad ***!! Damn I can't wait.

Cograts

Any engine pics

 

Steve- haha, too bad you needed to buy a house! That was a hell of a car you had...

luiml73- here is a shot of the engine bay before I made the heatshield and relocated the air filter.

 

What i'm looking at in that pic, what that cost you to do that much? I need to do something, I dont know what because I havent even driven yet. I have a 79 gs with all stock 12a....

 

Dude your car is ******* awesome! How much have you put into it total? Also, what car is the 13B-RE from? Awesome car, need longer vids :x

~brian

 

Anex250- it's a custom 13b turbo setup. Over 5k and under 10K

brianmcd- thanks, look ^. It's from a Mazda Cosmo. 1992 model, that is the car they also put the 20b in. The 13b-re is the standard engine.

 

How do you go about sourcing one of those engines?

 

fc3s.org

 

I was right in the middle of almost blowing my load when someone posted that V8 second gen..

2 strikes..im out.

 

So you're going to give up the forum because there is a V-8 FC in the thread??
I posted the car because I was showing what I'm up against.
No reason to whine.

 

Man that looks good. ALl u need now is some widebody and 305s in the back and u r flying

 

Im so motivated to go work on my car right now from that its not even funny. Unfortunatly, I have nothing to do to it because I have no money to move forward with anything, and I ran out of things I can do for free. Its also too bad I only have 56K and I have to wait forever to watch those movies, lol. Ive only downloaded the first one so far, and I cant wait to see the rest...

Damn man, I CANT WAIT until I can finally get my "dream 13BT swap" going. After my car got stolen and all, I need something like that to show that it was all worth it in the end, ya know?

~T.J.

 

Do you have any idea what your 1/4 time might be?

 

Damn Setzep, your car really puts my 12a turbo to shame. I have the mildport going back in soon because my stock 12a blew from high milage worn out apex's mid augest. If only I could get the DAMN endplate I need desperately in time for BIR(Brainard)10th and VSCR coming up. YOU should go to VSCR in St. Cloud on the 13th Sept. Your car would kill everything else out there if you know how to drive well even with stock suspenion or whatever you have. All you need is $70 and a SNELL 95 or newer helmet!

 

abe- You coulden't be more right!

Rotor- Hang in there, it will be worth it in the end

brian- not sure, if it ever hits the straight track I'd like to see 11.something from it. I think my buddy that has that V-8 FC is going to be taking his cr to the track soon. Whatever he gets I'm sure I woulden't be far off from it.

Wacky- haha, thanks I guess. I'd like to get my car on a twisty track someday but it needs tires bad! I have Eiabach springs, tokico illuminas and poly bushings up front but stock sway bars. I know it could do well but the 205's are really hurting me in the corners right now. It's bitter-sweet being able to step the rear end out in 3rd gear, fun but at the same time I'd like it to just stick.

 

I feel the need to build...something again

 

It eats at you doesn't it!? I didn't drive my car for 5 days and it was killing me!
So... define something, another rotary?

 

Nice vids setzep... your car is awesome !!! Thumbs UP

 

 

Thanks wankel

UhOh, Steve, comming back home?
