I'm suprised your fmic fits behind your bumper. I bought a greddy replica from rx7store.net and it wont fit at all behind my s4 bumper without trimming. I assumed it was an e-bay knockoff. do you have any pics without the bumper installed?? GOOD Job btw

hey dude are you the same guy that use to have a prelude as well as a bmw ? (i see your name is bmwrx7 man) , we use to talk years ago, really nice car. props man.

i dont even live in rhode island anymore, im far south. My rx7, the na blew the coolant seals after 25,000 miles I sold it for like $300 and right now I'm looking for a turbo motor to rebuild myself then get a shell to put it in.

How was rebuilding the motor ? I'm searching around for one to rebuild right now so far found one for 250$ at a junkyard with 157,000 miles that was wrecked so im hoping that it ran and just needs rebuilt because it has low compression more than likely.

did you get the basic or master kit on rotary aviation ? both seem kind of pricey. $530 for basic , $1000 for master.

I'm kind of on a budget for my rebuild, i dont expect it to be a race engine, i just want something that will last me a few years.

still think that one pipe is in the wrong spot, the one with the bracket goes down by the bumper

bmwrx7man

iTrader: (2)

no cause one side is 3 inch and other side is matching 2.5 inch piping . so one side of interclooer to the TB is 3inch and the other side to the turbo is 2.5 in lol

on the greddy kit that pipe goes down low, that bracket there makes no sense.
it all looks like the same size pipe going into the throttle body upstream of the intercooler

My generic fmic piping for the fc has a bracket like the one shown in the pic, but also one under the passenger side headlight. I'm pretty sure that's the one you're talking about Rob.

Well if they both have brackets then never mind
But if its a greddy copy that pipe goes by the bumper

my rx7store FMIC also has that bracket... also no idea why lol.

and am i crazy or dont the S4s have black trim? not color match? i may be making this up lol

also, i hope you have an air filter...

Rob XX 7

iTrader: (8)

someone obviously painted the trim

I would cut the bracket off, it looks very odd just sticking out there
