Talking My FD Project (Lots of Pictures)

My motor went down on August 2004 due to oil starvation (yea yea I know) I had a MAJOR oil leak coming from my oil pan and one night I got on it hard and my motor went dead. I had to put the car away because right after that I got deployed to Iraq. Now fast forward to late 2005 I got my car out of storage and took the motor out to get rebuilded and street ported. Here are some pictures of my progress so far.


Dirty engine bay



Spec Clutch Stage 4 (6 Puck)


Ports





Me drilling holes for the radiator


Ready to go in








GT40R










I'm still waiting on the fuel system and the oil pump lines from the RX7 Store. Mods are the following:

99 Spec Front
Rotary Extreme Lights
Greddy FMIC 2 Row
GT40R Kit
Stage 2 Motor from RX7 Store
Power FC
HKS Twin Power
Fluidyne Radiator
Tein Suspension
HKS Ti Catback
Autometer Boost Water Temp
Spec Clutch Stage 4
Banzai Racing Motor Mounts
Greddy Elbow
RX7 Store Ultimate Fuel System
Nippondenso Fuel Pump
HKS BOV
NGK Wires and plugs

And a bunch of other stuff that I can't think off at this moment. I hope you guys like it, more pics will be coming as soon as I get the rest of my stuff and then it will be time to fire her up, hopefully by the end of this month

Thanks for all the comments guys She's getting a full makeover, everything from the wiring harness to the smallest thing that I could think off is brand new and well worth it.

Yes you better try to get that fix ASAP I know that oil leaks tend to be a pain in the *** specially if they're coming from the oil pan but I learned my lesson and mine was REALLY bad, I was pouring at least 1 to 2 qt of oil a day and where ever I parked I used to leave a puddle of oil I hated it. Hopefully this time around I torque the oil pan down good and it should be seal properly if not I'm going to have to go with the Gotham racing oil brace.
