First big project in process

Well I got fed up with all the vac leaks and the bullshit with all those vac lines etc. A good friend of mine, Aleem that I consider the rx-7 guru master of central florida no doubt, offered me to convert me to non-seq and just do a whole bunch of other **** while hes doing me a huge favor by doing it for almost free. GOTTA LOVE THAT PASSION! Well heres the list of everything that is getting done:

- Motor Mounts need change ($100 for both, low miles)
- Radiator fan motor need replace (Calling Malloy Mazda)
- Transmission fluid need change (redline synthetic or neo, $14)
- Rear end fluid need change (redline synthetic or neo, $14)
- Rear bumper diffuser needs to be added (looking eBay)
- Front underbelly needs to be added (radiator shield) (looking eBay)
- Non sequential turbo conversion ($300)
- Eibac lowering springs (used, low miles $200 installed)
- Turbo rebuild if necessary (no turbo rebuild needed)
- eliminate all unnecessary coolant lines (labor)
- replace factory heating core lines (labor)
- eliminate all emissions (labor)
- eliminate all unnecessary emissions vac lines (labor)
- eliminate all unnessary turbo control lines(labor)
- tap stud on turbo to bolt up downpipe (labor)
- add manual boost control for new non-sequential turbos (labor)
- eliminate double throttle and control (labor)
- fill double throttle and control sealed (labor)
- engine torque brace (eBay around $50)
- 40 mm strut bar ($26)

- note - all stolnoids will still remain electronically connected (b/c factory ecu is retained)
but will lose their vac lines




What do you guys think? Here are some pics, enjoy

-------------------

these are some pics of clean plastics that i cleaned/sanded pretty good and repainted them to the gray with some engine painter solution i bought from auto-zone. other pics of the turbos before the mini-polishing. finally the dog of aleem "Boost" guaring the 7's. dont mess with the 7
