what fog lights do you have?

 

Wow... cleanest engine ever... My question is, especially in the shot that shows the ABS controls, and the other with the brake fluid reservoir... that whole area. What did you use to clean that???? How the heck did you get that so clean???? Simple Green and rag? Or did you take everything out?

 

Thanks! I pretty much tore the engine down to the block last year for maintenance, reliability mods, etc. While everything was out (including the ABS pump, Master cylinder, ect) I cleaned it. I used Simple Green Automotive and alot of elbow grease .

Thanks again for your comments.

 

Piaa 1100's. Way better than stock !

 

Wow, nice FD! Motivational.

 

about how much did you spend on the polishing and with all the engine mods?

 

Sure man... compliments are well deserved. That's how I see it

But yeah, I don't have any desire to tear it down to the block (just yet, but maybe in the future), so I might just have to use Simple Green to access the areas that I can. See any issues with this??? It won't look as clean and sharp as yours, but hey, it's a start...

Keep up the good work...

 

Oh God.. your not going to make me count it all up are you ? Let just say alot! I'd say I have roughly 12 grand into the car (not including the cost of the car itself) and I'm not done yet. I still want to get the car completely repainted (same color), do a complete 99 spec conversion, upgrade the stereo system, rebuild the motor, put 4.33 gears in it... the list goes on and on! The way I look at it, I can still put another 10 to 15k into the car and it's still cheaper than buying a new high performance sports car (Porsche, Corvette, you get the idea). Take a look at the link in my sig and you'll pretty much see everything that I've done to the car. All the mechanical work was done by me (with some help from Turbojeff ). The polishing was done by a local shop (except for the throttle body, that was done by another forum member). I'd guess the polishing and chroming came to around $500.00 all totaled. Don't hold me to that, but that's a good estimate.

I enjoy working on cars.. I hope it shows !

 

Congrats for your bling-bling car.I have polished the strut bar too,have the same boost controller,so CAN I HAVE YOUR RIMS???????

 

it's a job well done, i wish i can learn from someone like you, if my car doesn't sell in 2 months and i continue to get hours at work and work it out with my school hours than i'm going to be converting my car into a stick.

 

Looks great! And no, you can't have them ! LOL

You can try here as well : http://rx7com20.securesites.net/store/rx7/fdexterior.html under the pull down down menu for Mazda 99-Spec RX-7 Parts. They're listed for $1,995.00, doesn't say how long to get or what the shipping charges are. I'd give them a call to what the delivery time is. I know Corksport's said it was 3 to 4 month delivery.


Good luck.

 

Wow how often do you drive your car?

There isn't a spec of dirt on anything. Congrat man that is the cleanest car I have ever seen and for being 10-12 years old makes it all that much better.

Nice work once again.

 

Rusty, you got one of the cleanest fd's ive seen in person.. Props man..

 

Are you still using stock suspension? My '93 has a drop similar to yours and I'm still using the stock. It has sagged during the years.

 

Totally awesome FD. Superb.

 

hondasr4kids--- i have a buddy that works at mazda that i get parts from. i get stuff all the time.. he can get stuff from japan, for any mazda that mazda still carries parts for, shipped free to his warehouse, AND for an employee discount.

i don't know many people on here well, but i like to help rx7 owners the best i can and if you want me to check into it i'll get a $ for those wheels for you. just let me know.

 

No. The suspension has been totally gone thru. I'm running Eibach ProKit Springs with Tokico Illumina 5-Way Adj. Shocks. I also have Racing Beat Front & Rear Sway Bars with AWR Reinforced Front Sway Bar Mounts. But other than that its totally stock ! LOL.

 

I just drive it during the summer months (it rains a lot here in Oregon ).

Thanks for kind words. As a matter of fact the FD's 13th birthday is coming up (manufactured on 7/92) in July. I wonder what kind of present she wants !

 

where in oregon do you live?

 

Eugene.

 

ahh, hence "the land of the tree huggers" lol

 

Hey bullet, where did you get those caps for your apex'i pipes?
im talking about this:

 

Since I removed my Air Pump I wanted a "cleaner" solution to just "capping" the pipes on the Apexi intakes assoicated with the smog stuff I just removed. The plugs you see there (they're actually two of them, the one you see in the pic and another one hidden under the same intake) are "freeze" plugs. Metirc sizes of course (I don't remember the exact size right now) and you can get them at NAPA or any decent automotive parts store. They are avilable in steel, aluminum, and brass. I choose brass and it was a simple matter of pressing them in. Not all that hard really after deciding on which material to use. On hindsight I should have gone with Aluminum (you can polish that to match the intakes) but the contrast between the brass and the polished aluminum is growing on me.

I hope that helps you out some.

 

Yeah... they're everywhere down here !
