Impressive, hats off to a job well done! Performance stats, when you get to do some fine tuning on the beast?

 

video? plz!!

 

That looks awesome!

 

SICK

 

 

That's awesome.

 

i am trying to do some road tunning BUT.........i have no bumpsteer correction (i am currently talking with john about this)
man bumpsteer sucks ***......feels really squirly i am afraid i could wreck the darn thing driving it like that
wich would be a bad thing

 

Yeah take it easy, don't want to wreak the car before you can really enjoy it.

 

Great car. I wouldn't be surprised to see your car landing in a mag soon. Vids would be awesome. I was about to ask. Good luck with the car, enjoy it.

 

That is a sick ride!! well done and good luck!!!

I probably have an 20B alternator in the garage if needed.

Wish my Cosmo was ready when I see your 20B. Mine is Streetported too

 

very very nice job!! vids??

 

still nothing with vids ,
ok next up i am going to try and tackle the bumpsteer problem as this is very very but seriously very uncool
ok i am trying to post the pics of the bumpsteer correction kit from john aka 20b 3rd gen here we go
http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...670_9_full.jpg
as you can see its basically two tie rod ends that allows the use of shims so you can adjust ,untill you get that darn bump-steer out

 

ok now here we have the root of the problem here you see (sorry about picture quality) how the tie rod runs in comparison to the lower arm
the whole idea would be to let the tie-rod run as it did before the subrame change ,( will see if i can get pic of a stock rx-7)

 

here is the kit installed i will try and get some more pics underneath the car while its being alligned ,(i also installed pettit launch kit) i will post the results as soon as i allign and test the car

 

Hey felix, you didn't have much trouble install'ing the kit did you?

 

nahhh , its pretty easy and straight forward , .....now the only thing thats left is to test it

 

Great laid you like it.

 

I'd REALLY like to see a pic of a stock FD's suspension setting. I see what you're saying about the positing on the tie rod with the swing arm, but I'm not really seeing it... does that make sense? haha, i've got to tell you i'm honestly confused about the whole issue of bumpsteer. and i'm scared of it... i've experienced it in other cars before, and i DO NOT want my 20b fd to handle like that. i want my car to handle just as well as a stock FD... if you could show some more pics so that i could really see what i'm looking at, that would be great i'm just trying to figure this all out so i know exactly what to expect, and exactly what route i should take on this project.

 

the best way to clarify this is to get two pics side by side , one of a stock fd and one of a fd with bumpsteer , you'll see it imidiatly, i just have to get a pic of another fd ..........maaaan if i just wasn't this busy

 

That is ******* awesome. This kinda stuff really fuels my drive to build my FC. Keep up the work man. It looks great!

 

I can only agree.. really sweet..
Let's see some vids or sounds.. *s*

wow , it has been a long time , but here we are again , update is as follows: as some of you may know i had recent "problems" with my engine , as in the guy i had "build" my engine screwed me over then when i was getting the parts to rebuild my engine this other "good samaritan" dicided to screw me over too ......kinda reminds me of RED`s story
i am not going to go into the whole scam thing i went through since its not going to help me with anything but instead i will focus in bringing my car back to where i want it ...DONE!!

Anyways after a lot of cursing and profesional psycological help i am ready to embark again in my quest to get me car moving

i have already rebuild the engine (and this time it IS ported and doweled) although i have to pull it out again to check a nasty oil leak i have , bummer , i think i screwed up with the oil pan

from the bit i have had it working i am noticing a difference in revving already and it seems to sound different (good different)

i have also already ordered my new turbo T76 q trim 1.15 A/R turbine (turbonetics) should get to me withing 2 weeks , meanwhile i have plenty of time to pull the engine back out and adress tha nasty oil leak plus make a few things pretty again (love teh bling)

will have some pics up and this time with videos

 

wow. 2 frickin' years since the last update on this post...

hats off to you and good luck. we're routing for you to get this done.

 

i mada asmall video of the car how do i post this , or can someone host it for me ??

 

You think streetfire would host it? Or a place along the lines of that?
