well this is the first moderate day of the year. I took the rx7 out of the garage for the first time in 6 months.!!

My first impression w/o the p/s pump on: damn... this is freaking easy to turn! Nothing like trying to turn a p/s car that has a shitted-out ps pump. Very easy turning considering. I was suprised how easy my car manuvered itself out of the garage too its new temp home in the driveway.

Okay, picts... with questions of course! and these are on my slow *** server, so don't be suprised if it takes a while to load or just doesnt load, heh...


VERY DUSTY after 6 months in the garage:


Just messin around

Jeremiah's camaro, my rx-7

my rock throwing tires have less than 500 miles of them, bought them new a couple weeks before the tranny went...

What a mess, waiting for the UIM to come in from UPS

the plans for 6 port actuator activation (per silverrotor of course!)

GOING PREMIX!!!

 

augh this makes me sick...


My gas door doesn't open on its own, I have to stick a pen in the door to pry it, then I pull the lever and it pops like normal. Any ideas, is something missing-- spring, ect??

another tire pict

more damage

augh... this also makes me sick, some very nasty frame rails

 

what the hell is this, and why does it look broken?

oppsite side:



yay! UPS brought the UIM!! The guy said he's never seen a house with so many cars... heh. Notice the one UIM has a bolt severed in the fuel rail mount...



really stupid question, but can someone lable the stuff in this picture (bearing, fork, ect)

 

btw, full size picts here (also slow) http://sheepdog.ar2engineering.net/p...date/index.htm

 

The green outline is the fork.....and the yellow outline is the bearing...(if it spins freely with no play you don't need to replace it) But I highly recommend you replace it.

 

is that the pilot bearing? or is that on the engine someplace? (im ignorant when it comes to M/T's, this is my first one)

 

no...that is the clutch release bearing...the pilot bearing goes into the end of the e-shaft.

 

thought so, is it tough to get out-- the pilot bearing?

 

You shouldn't have one in there yet, since it was an auto. You'll need to stick the one i sent you in there, or, better yet, get a new one (they're cheap!)

 

oh, heh i would have spent quite awhile trying to find it james. Thanks! heh I feel like an idiot now. BTW James, it finaly started to warm up so I can get to work on my ar again, after 6 weeks of ~10 degree weather, we had a 50degree day
