my gt35r build (pictures)

well, to start it off I bought a 93 rx7 (last year)

bought it as a salvage with a blown motor (we thought) turned out to run decent with no boost.

fixed the boost leak (intercooler was bad)

but. now the real work and fun begins. the minor stuff I did, but Banzai-racing will be doing most of the work.

when i bought it



first me and a few buddies changed the rims, did the brakes and changed the front bumper.



we also worked on replacing a rear wheel stud too.


thank you bobby, nice new AE FC too

eventually left for banzai made it the entire way there and stayed at a hotel about 5 miles away. figuring my luck my car wouldnt start and I had to get it towed the remaining 5 miles



the front bumper wasnt fully attached and the driver took his time to be as careful as possible to not break it. so where you see it bending its just attached by the top bolts not the fender bolts. so its still whole, thank god.

heres some pictured from banzai of the engine being pulled and broke down








the engine failure was caused by a blown coolant seal, my guess would be from rotting in the garage where it sat as a salvage vehicle.

I was happy to see a nice email from banzai earlier leting me know that despite overheating and running on 1 rotor that my housings/plates/rotors are still good and do not need replacing. with the exception of the stationary gear bearing. heres some parts sitting at banzai waiting to be installed
