what are some *free* mods?
 

Well since I'm free today,
I'm in the *mood* to work on my rex

so whats something I can do?
Like a mod I can do that doesn't require buying anything...

or something that I can remove I dont need
or something to clean out
or something to rebuild (small- like a carb)

just something I should do....

yea... you know what I mean.

**and yes, I know I dont have a carb**
**Just something small like that**

my CAI cost less then 50 bucks, if you got a pepboys local to you. but cheaper then that...
make sure your aux ports are working most i come across arent...

CAI? whats that stand 4?
(and sorry for the double- post)

You can make one less trip each week to the all night burrito place that should cut off a few pounds and that’s FREE J/K

If you have some ATF you could do an ATF flush to loosen up those apex seals. That would help restore some compression and help the longevity. I see that in your sig you have a rebuild but the ATF flush is always a good thing!

I've got ATF, but I didnt do my rebuilt. I dont know a bunch about that and I would proably just mess something back up...

what about that CAI thing??

run water through to get rid of some carbon. its always good to clean up the engine bay for a few hours, shine it all up! maybe buff and polish paint.

I just found some rubbing compound...
what can I use that on?

(engine bay and body wise)

**CAI??? whats that?**

cold air intake

thanks!

and i think i should clean my plugs
how could I do thaT?

thread from the archive

why dont you drive your car?

that is by far the most pleasing thing about these cars... the driving experience

thanks again....

what about the rubbing compound?
anyone?

Take out your air pump, block off your ACV. Take off A/C and power steering if you don't use or like them. Take out your spare tire and jack if you're feeling daring. Remove your evaporator if you don't use the A/C and want to be gangster.

Take out shit you don't need. Full emissions removal would be nice, and would clean up the bay. It's not "free" but it is cheap (relatively), relocate the battery to a storage bin.

Use your imagination, yo.

yea... I plan on doing that afterwords... lol:)

well on my T2 i have alot of cleaning to do in the engine bay...i also have to block some stuff off and gut the cats...... to be on the safe side i would just go buy some engine degreaser its like $3 and is well worth it....

Don't use rubbing compound >_< www.autopia.org , read the learning sections and welcome to a whole new addiction :D

Dont want to sound like an asshat but try searching,there is a thread almost with the exact same title as this one posted in the archive. we get these threads like once a week...sheesh.

we really should lock this thread..

i've read that thread
i want a thread of my own so I can say crap

like feedback and questions and other crap
so chill out

gut your cat

a can of WD40 or some lock cleaner type stuff.
spray and clean all your latches, locks, hinges, pivot points, etc.

this is the best thing you can if you have a fully stock rx7.

Undo the 4 bolts to the catalytic concerter. Grab the first broom in sigh and start busting out all the honey comb mesh inside the cat until it is nice and hollow and clean from broken peices inside the cat.

Then bolt it right back.

Remember, if you live in a place with heavy emissions, i would not do this mod.


should take you like 15 mins.

Threads merged. Only start one thread on a smae subject by the same member

yea sorry about that...
i accidentally hit the button twice b/c my comp was being slow

sryyy:)

and I've got aftermarket exhaust
an alright glass pack with the stock mufflers

this hick told me to stick a water hose in the muffler and make the glass in the
glasspack shatter so my car sounds loud....

good... bad.. what??

Okay, if you want weight reduction, and a little increased noise doesnt bother you (noise could be reduced with dynamat, but dont have any yet)

Remove your seats, remove your kick plates, remove your headliner and your trim pieces, remove your speakers, remove your jackstand/tire, remove the package straps, remove the fiberglass tubs, or the seats, whichever you have. Remove your carpet, and replace your seats. Seats are a 14mm, seat belts are 16, dash is 10, headliner and interior can be removed with a screwdriver, some pressure, and common sense.

Buy a different battery, so you have 3/8"s terminals, instead of the giant ass 1" ones. Replace the connectors so that you get a nice solid clamp, and its not wiggling around. Wont corrode as easily either, if you get the marine connectors. Make sure you crimp that stuff right though, i believe the stock wiring is a 6 or a 4 AWG.

You could remove the blower motor, the AC, the AC pump, the heater core (and then just go to home depot and buy some rubber hose of the same type that is already there, and run it all the way round the engine to complete the coolant circut)

You could remove the arm rest on the door panel if you would like, though it kinda holds the door panel up.

That some of the stuff ive done, (AC delete, and all the removal stuff) I dont know how it is in gainsville, but untill i make this a towed track only car, im not messing with my emissons stuff.
