well everytime i work on my car i get stressed out on how much work i need to do to the interior, so i created this thread to make me and others feel better for seeing someone else whos car need more work then mine
makes people think man im glad that isnt my car
and also post pics of inspiration cars too that you guys look at to make want to work on your car

 

there is a thread here somewhere of years and years of collective threads of peoples projects and pictures and stories. I think there is one for each generation. I believe ours is under the non tech and pictures part of the 2nd gen section.

 

a wise man once told me "you know why you never see build threads on rx7club.com? because all of them are builds"

 

Engine and tranny are not in the car, driveshaft, turbo, manifold, and a few electrics are missing and half of the injector plugs need to be replaced. That help?

 

Here is a sneak peak as to what I've been stirring up. A little birdy tells me the new set up will dip into the 600hp range.

 

Here are a couple pics of my new project. It's in the tear down phase right now.

 

its not an rx7 but i think its worthy... after i finish the mounts for the TII

 

^Ooooh. Can't wait to see this one finished.

 

That AE86 will be one sick ****...

My projects:

Felicity: Needs a fuel pump and coolant seals/rebuild.





Belia Darzu/Darth Talon: (I haven't been able to decide on the name yet...) Needs coolant seals/rebuild.







The Pile: (Haven't had time to think of a name yet, lol...) I just got this one last night, it doesn't run and I haven't had a chance to find out why yet.








So between the three I should be able to come up with at least one that runs sometime soon eh??

and the engine





some TLC!!!!



and I got this!!!



then got the S5 Tails and a spoiler



then decided to get another engine and start a rebuild for just in case, here is what it all looked like after disasembling it, cleaning and painting it.

 

then took the original engine out and swapped it out to another body I had to get it running and that way i could make some money to continue the project.

after that we got this















then added the 3 MSD's





here is the video of the first startup. sorry but the camera man was late on starting the recording.

i already got the radiator fan shroud on it. right now the car needs the haltech to be tuned for it to be driveable. Ive taken it arround the block a couple of times but Im being really careful with it still.

 

Sweet!! Do you have a build up thread anywhere?

 

so you have no running RX-7s then im guessing? haha just messin man mines in the middle of some reliablilty and performance mods so im in the same boat

 

some people need to clean their car..hehe

 

I know all are in my yard I gotta go on a Photo shoot one day. All comments welcome Postive & Negative.

Here is a few more pictures.

Headlight covers also paint matched,new windshield coming...Im just too lazy to install my new one.

I like your choice of mods. That is very nice!
