wel I bought my car last weekend and I installed my TII front suspension last Sunday ( Eibach Pro Springs and KYB AGXs).......I went to work on it again today and I did swapped the GTUs subframe for my TII subframe.......THAT **** IS TIRESOME!!! Here are the pics I have so far: I should be finished next weekend........

This is the GTUs last weekend....


This is my GF helping me withthe sway bar


This is my buddy and me(the background) with my old TII subframe on the GTUs......


here is what that subframe looked like on my old car



I'll post more pics as I take them....I was thinking about doing a write-up.....but it was too time consuming.

 

Today I sold my GTU/TII wing and calipers to a fellow forum member and then bought myself a battery relocator kit and a nice radiator(also off a forum member)......Next weekend she will live!!

 

Holycrap! What the hell are you doing under a car with no jackstands. You are asking to have the car fall off the lift and crush you. Jack stands are not expensive compared to dying...

 

agreed

 

ahh another GTUs going turbo

 

OY!!!! what is it with everyone and telling me there are no Jack stands!!!!! lol....I do have them tho here maybe this pic will help:

That's me removing the jackstands after we finished.

 

Hahah, if only RarestRX would get the hint..

 

I'll be getting a GTUs hopefully, maybe if Kevin goes turbo i'll be the last na GTUs but i doubt he will EVER go turbo he loves his NA.

 

I love boost....I have had N/A and Turbo...........I would not be able to drive N/A........I want to convince my gf to turbo her Miata........lol....we'll see......TURBO POWAH!!one!11

 

Looks like your swap is coming along nicely. Thanks for the wing and the calipers, i figured out that i'll have to buy new brake lines, but i wanted to swap to braided steel ones anyway, so no biggie.

 

Jackstands are KEY!


GTU's going turbo...oh my another sleeper.


Can rx-7's be sleepers?

 

Haha, He wasnt under it, He sent the girl under first to make sure it was safe... haha

 

yeah I noticed that to. HA


I'm sure she's just about the width of the rear bumper to catch her ribcage.

 

Who's your friend? Gotta love a chick willing to get down and dirty with ya

 

hey what kinda front lip is that on the red turbo
it looks freaking nice

 

nvm i think i know
that should be a mazdaspeed lip

 

i wish i had a GF that was into cars too! =/

 

sweet....you helped me buy a radiator.....thanks alot.

WWell.......today we took out the seats and dash and removed the heater core and A/C core from under the dash along with all the venting......removed all the unnecessary hoses from under the hood.....cleaned the engine bay quite a bit....I ran into a problem with the oil cooler hoses.......I could not detach the lower one na ended breaking the little ruber mount.....I still didn't get the hose off! My job for this week is to find out how to remove the damn bolt (need to find the right socket...IT'S HUGE!) then buy extra wiring for the battery relocator kit....get a new grounding kit fot the whole car......recieve the engine mounts, and clean up my motor.....OH and buy all the fluids.......OUR goal is to get it done next weekend.........then it's off to the Dyno for some tuning.....
Wish me luck.

looks like your doing good we like to see the mroe of progress

 

"NA powah every hour!"

I love Kev, there's no way he's ever going to turbo though... What a shame.

 

Why won't he go turbo?

 

Because he's almost running turbo #'s now as we speak without the snail.

 

EEarg....

 

yeah im doing the same swap on my Base 7. TII suspension is being installed this week. Next week, MOTOR. MWAHAHA I hope its easy. I have like 4 friends to help.

 

Im UP for the next GTUs Turbo swap..
