my car is back from the shop ! ! !
OOOOHHH MANN...... just got my car back from the shop, and damn, big difference between a 91 N/A and a FD,
i gotta give props to ROB at pineapple racing, he cleaned up a mess left by the previous owner who had an engine fire and decided to not touch anything instead of replacing parts... i gotta highly suggest Pineapple Racing if you need a motor or if you are in the NW and need your rx7 worked on, he found alot of (FREE) used parts to keep costs down, and he even hooked it up with an extra downpipe he had sittin around the shop. woooooooooooooooooooooo here is the motor Motor 1 Motor 2 and my cars http://rx7.netfirms.com/fdfc.JPG its shitty cause i ran out of space on my host |
So did you get any porting done or not?? I forget if you said you were getting just a stock rebuild or a street port. How's the car feel?? Turbos pull strong?? Oh, that's right you are probably still on your break in. Anyways, I have heard nothing but good things about pineapple.
|
yeah i got a large street port and oil mods, you can see them in the picture
its pulls pretty hard, turbos spool up quick, even though i gotta shift under 4 grand |
Sweet, I haven't seen too many rotary ports, so I couldn't tell what kind of porting you had, but they did look a little massaged. Glad to hear you went with a big street port that away you should be able to get more HP out of any upgrades you make.:D
|
damn, thats the cleanest engine i have ever seen!
|
waiting with my friend for his engine from rob to come in....
It should be sitting on a table when you where there. :) Unless he already got the housings and finished it up. ;) |
$$??
just curious, how much did you pay for everything?
|
Very nice...all I gotta do now is get a TII. I am still working on my FD though. Lucky man :)

Re: $$??
Originally posted by The sLowest 7 just curious, how much did you pay for everything? the motor cost me just under 5000, for the 5year/60k warranty motor, with stage 2 porting, stage 3 oil mods, new turbo, new clutch, misc new parts that needed replacement from the engine fire, time on the dyno, and labor plus taxes, registration, ect........ grand total is just about 11 grand. i think i made out good:) |
You made out really good. Now all you need is a big GT style wing for the back :D
|
Fuck yeah...you made out great!
|
BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!! You have saved a FD from the god of fire bless you. Was that car from southern cali...if it was i think it was the same one i saw on the side of the freeway in flames.
|
it was from southern cali but you would have had to have seen it a long time ago
damn its early |

|
Nice Job!
Since there were only about 13,000 imported Rex 3 Gens, you have brought one back from the grave. Enjoy! |
