Pics and initial impressions of my TIIs overhaul

Well firstly, thanks to the few that responded to my help threads even though after I got back to check the responses the first time I usually had the problem fixed .

Anyways to get down to it, heres the list of what I did;

Racing Beat aluminum flywheel
ACT SS disc and Extreme plate
Corksport SS flex hose
New master and slave cylinders
Front and rear brake caliper rebuild kit
Brembo OE style rotors for the front
Hawk HPS pads all around
89-91 TII/GTUs Rims in MINT condition
89-91 JDM turbo and manifold
New gasket for between upper and lower intake manifold
New Pinion seal
Redline for all drivetrain

Now for a few pics

Heres my POS catback. if ANYONE has ANYTHING better that they want to give me please let me know!

Thats basically it. There are a few more but the servers being a bit slow at the moment. I'll get some more pics later anyways.

As for initial impressions, even with the extreme plate the clutch doesnt feel too terribly heavy, and as for the combination of a lightweight aluminum flywheel, I have no problems taking off even at idle.
This plus the combination of an 89-91 turbo and manifold plus the 11lb each lighter 89-91 TII rims equating to a total of 60lbs off the drivetrain on top of the rebuilt brake calipers that no longer stick should make my car quite a bit quicker .
I'll post more results after break in and I can play a bit, but for now I did run first gear up pretty high and let off before I wet myself!

All in all a great set of upgrades!

Good Job Geoff
I was wondering how things were going.
I can't wait to see all the work you did when we get to the picnic.
BTW: Thanks for the post in the good sellers section.

Geoff,
Looks real good man. Here in Texas we call that fine gesture to the catback a one-fingered-howdy. Keep us posted man.
peace out,
Charles

O come on, is seeing about a hundred other RX-7s, having some food, and doing some cruising that terrible? You can even drive down with Mark and I. We'll all represent the Horizon Red TIIs .
