Updates! (Lots of picts!!) Comments please! (56k maybe, its on my slow a$$ server...)

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!!!

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.

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!)
