This build has left me speechless, from the first post on this thread i have been copying ideas down with a pencil and paper. Can you possibly hook me up with the FD alternator bracket specs?

Pacing around, looking at my frozen RX7 outside. Can't Wait for the start up vid!

 

haha thnx, but dont copy it all please

dont have any specs of the bracket, it just winged it

 

what a wonderfull feeling, after 5 months of hard work and effort, to see the project reach its ending. final checks and then attempting to fire it up. to our relief the egine came back to life without any real troubles.
you can't even imagine how happy i was at that moment, thinking about the fact that i have built everything on this car with my own 2 hands.

Damn, that sound!
on idle just very civilized, when when revs climg, the intake comes to life and the exhaust just starts to roar the rotary sound.
let off the throttle and the HKS blow-oof reveils its presence
it has become a BEAST!

finished up the brakes today and slapped on the wheels to push it out into the sun.
final check on some things and then took it for a little spin out on the road very carefully.
its all a little new, cause its been a long time and it is just a totally different car right now...
on idle the engine runs real smooth, but when on throttle its a bit rough due to the rich mixture. some smoke from turbo and downpipe cause they are new but no weird noises or anything.
tomorrow ill take it for a little spin and adjust some A/F on stock boost so i can run it a little before i go to the tuner.

cant wait to see the results! and then i will enjoy every damn second i am in this car

movies will follow tomorrow, have to make a small compilation first.

 

Can't Wait for the vids!

Congrats on getting her running, with no major problems or issues.

 

 

How are we going to get his car dirty? Any ideas?

 

WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOO! Awesome man.... most beautiful FC ever!

 

video not working?

 

Awesome, nice job!

 

Good god I bet that cost a lot... and for a mechanic? Wow . I'm happy to get 4 new tires...

 

I just read through the entirety of this thread and my thought process went as follows:

> > > > > > >

 

this makes me want to clean up my engine bay REALLY badly.....

 

beautiful man!

 

I think that about sums it up! I just saw the vid with sound, and cracked up when it shut off after they got it going the first time.... everyone in the computer lab was all looking.... awesome

 

took it out for a little spin in the sun today! also found some minor things i needed to fix, but all is well now...
cant wait to get the car tuned properly

ofcourse some pics of the car together in one piece (watch the nice ghetto hood strut )

 

To reiterate all the other comments, wow! Good work, very professional.
Can I ask what type of mechanic work you do? Any specific car make you work on?

 

Looks like a Mazda to me!

 

nice work with the silicone hoses. You didnt weld it and it looks clean, not that welding is bad

 

well, for my job, the only thing associated with cars is the van i use to get to the clients im a mechanic for industrial machines and automisation
cars are just my passion
dont think i would like to make a living out of it, cause then the fun would be over very soon i guess...

 

WOW, nice!

 

well welding was something i thought about, but wanted to fit it with couplers first and then see what could be welded, but that would be just 1 or 2 so it wasnt really worth the hassle

 

i must say...i also sat and read the entire 6 pages at 6am and im very very very impressed....glad to see that there are more ppl that are very passionate bout their car. Keep it up well done!!

PS I LOVE IT

 

Are you just relying on luck in case you have a blow out, or do you have some clever method worked out?

 

well, the jack doesnt fit under the car anyways, and the spare doesnt fit on the front due to the big brake kit.
so i have bought some of those spraycans with tyre repair ****...
has helped me out already when i had a big screw in my rear tyre

 

wow after reading all of this I hope my build goes as well.. good job... JUST GOOD ****** JOB!!!!!
