My project

Hello everybody, I began this project time ago, but I had to fear because I thought my work is not a sufficient level to this forum.

Ok, I wait you like it and please comment for it, thank you.

First round: the car

I found this 1992' RX7 in benicassim(Spain), the owner changed the engine recently, it had only 20.000km, the price: 15000€(20000$), at spain is so hard to find rx7 cars, they weren't very populars here

Thank you for your comments, my idea is to make a very nice RX7 with a sport line.

I had problems with one of A/C hose, anybody made a very bad installation of it and broke the hose connector, as I can welding aluminum I made a new hose, this is my solution:

4th Round: Engine upgrade.

I started changing the plugs and wires, but the project began to be complicated, I found some vacuum hoses broken and solenoid valves pipes too and some oil leaks, look at the pics:

well, the oil leaks didn't like to me and I have one problem with one of the downpipe nuts, I was very frustated with my engine job, because it wasn't to the level of the rest of the car, very dirty and incompleted.

And then I decided to make well and in my style:

This is my so dirty engine, the mazda mechanics changed the engine but they didn't changed: gaskets, o'rings and hoses. They broken the solenoids pipes mounting the engine and all parts. You pay 12000$ and wait 2 years for change one engine in the official mazda service and this is the very bad job by them. I don't know as is the mazda service in other countries but at spain is very very bad, the first time I went to my local mazda service to buy the plugs they didn't knew to the RX7 was made by mazda, is incredible and ridiculous.

Ahhh, this space is pratocinated by pepsi, hahahahaha, I hate coca-cola(coke)

Very nice build, but why did you keep the mud guards black?

Hey Kai, your car is a inspiration for me, thank you for your comment.

I paint the mud guards in black because I thought the car was more nice with a white-black combination. I thought all parts in white didn't look very well.

But as I like to mount side skirts and other body parts I can change it in a future.

looks like you are moving along very well with your car. You seem to be doing a very good job! I am not sure about the oil injector lines since I do not know if they are the same diameter as the previous ones but my guess is once you have primed the system with oil they should work ok.
