Great work; she's a beauty!

 

Holy ****.....that is all. I just hope that one day I can master the art of polishing the way you have my friend!

Very nice, congrats and I hope you enjoyed every minute of your labor of love! You did a perfect job.

 

Love the work that you're doing, those HKS hardpipes are gorgeous!

D

 

man thats clean!

 

Front lip and chrome bulbs in front indicators to make her perfect...

Very very beatifull!!!

 

So what did you paint your plastics with? Im just about to do the same

 

We should get together sometime. Have an RX7 cruise - Calgary and Edmonton people. I'd love to see the car in person.

 

It's been a while since I posted on this, so I thought I would update it. Like I said last year, once everything was running good, I just drove it. I covered it up for the winter and didn't do a thing to it. Not to say I didn't buy anything ... Well it's spring and I've taken it out a few times and she seems to be running great. Polished engine looks good. I haven't even washed it, just a little Meguiars Quick Detailer and she shines. But I do have a few things I'll probably do the season ...

Apexi Active Tail Silencer (I'll give it a try & see how it works out):


New Tail Pipe:


Gandor Mirrors:



New AIT Sensor:


Hallman Pro RX Boost Controllers:



Box of stuff from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda:
(Hose clamps, rear trunk wedges, plugs, chrome button, check valves, coolant hose, washers & door sill kit)


More stuff from Ray:
(Gaskets, nut & bolts [for the twins])


99 Front Bumper Lights:


Vented Headlight Cover:



That's it for now. There's a few more things I have planned but this will at least wake up this old post and maybe get me to start installing some of this ****. I'll take pictures of the rest and go into a little bit more detail on what my plans are later. I am also selling some of my old parts. If you want to help my addiction, take a look ... https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-rx-7-1993-2002-parts-99/ast-ps-pulley-smic-vacuum-hose-kit-silencer-shifter-oil-cap-896339/.

 

Awesome build so far! Amazing polishing on the engine bay...keep up the good work

 

I want those floormats so bad.

 

where did you buy the IAT? is it the fast reacting one?

 

I bought the IAT sensor from Dudemaaanownsanrx7. He was selling them a while back and if I remember correctly they were pretty cheap.

 

are you doing a 99 front end or something else? cant wait to see the end result either way great job

 

Interested in the review of the Apexi silencer. What is the diameter? I wonder if it would fit my XS Power cat-back...

 

Very impressed with your work!! Engine bay looks great and has given me a load of ideas where to head with mine!

Have you got anysound clips of the BOV?

 

I've had a Feed Type II Front bumper from Shine sitting in my basement for about a year. Paint isn't cheap, so I'm just making sure this is the way I want to go. Also making sure it's a color I won't get sick of quickly.

The Apexi Silencer is 115mm but it also comes in 90mm. If it's the right size, it just bolts in. In my case, the tip on my exhaust fans out and is a little bit too short. I have to trim the end off a bit (to get rid of the fanning out part). Decide how much I want the new tip to stick out and cut it. Then I'll bolt her up and test it out.

No sound clips right now. By far one of the best sounding BOV's I've heard (if you like the pssst). You can also get different inserts to make different sounds. It works well but I've read about BOV's on this forum and everyone will tell you something different. "You don't need one, keep the stock one until you go single, there a waste of money, they sound ricey, .... " I personally like the sound (most of the time) and this one polished up looks pretty good. Too bad you can hardly see it under all the other stuff. Do a search on youtube. I'm pretty sure there's a couple of clips with this BOV.

Also I'm selling more stuff. Check it out ... https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-rx-7-1993-2002-parts-99/efini-steering-wheel-walbro-fp-e-brake-boot-shifter-knob-boot-seat-belt-pads-896887/.

 

It snowed out here on the weekend, so no rippin' around or golf. I took off my hatch plastics and decided to fix a hole and a couple scrapes and then I repainted them. Turned out pretty good. Now I think I may throw my 2 amps and cap into the spare tire wheel well. Just need to fabricate some type of box for them. I also received one of my exterior pieces in the mail. It's sweeeet.

Hatch Plastics (refinished):



Wheel Well (1 amp on each side and the cap near the top):


OEM 99 Spec Wing:





That's all for now. Just need to pimp out some of my stuff. Be sure to take a look.

I got off work early today and decided to start a new project. The trunk ... Here's what I've done so far. Tell me what you think.

The Box (replacement for the spare tire):


Amps & Cap (tight fit but it will work):





All Wired Up:





Test Fit (like a glove):




I plan to make a new cover for the back and put in some plexiglass so the amps are visible. Possibly going to put in some dynamat as well. Then I'll see if I can fab some kind of sub boxes for behind the seats. The space where the back seats used to be is such an odd shape to work with. I'll figure something out. Anyways, I got a few more things for sale. Please check them out - https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-rx-7-1993-2002-parts-99/gauges-foot-rest-gauge-overlays-897862/.

 

yep so copying this, except mine will have WI gear and some tools in it instead

 

Would you believe it, it's snowing out here again. Back to the trunk project ... I took out the back seat and all the rear seat belt stuff. Then I realized I had to cover a couple of holes left by the seat belts and the rear seat latch. So I pulled out all the rear plastics. Since everything was out, I also decided to refinished the truck plastics and fix any major scratches. I'm ready to throw it all back in but it's just too damn cold out right now ... so I update my thread. This is how it's turned out so far.

Speaker grills (repainted):


Hatch plastics (sanded, painted & filled in a couple holes):

 

You sir... Are geat at taking pictures. I don't think anyone covers as many pics as u do... Great job tho

 

I also got in a couple of things for my project. I decided to go OEM on the bumper lights, so I picked up a used set off one of the members here. Polished up the lenses and they look like new. I also found a chrome efini badge. Had to buy a set so now I have couple extra efini symbols and a MS-6 emblem.

OEM 99 Spec Bumper Lights:



Chrome Efini Badge:



That's it for now. My short list: Reinstall all the hatch plastics, clean up the wiring for my stereo stuff, make a new cover for the trunk, dynamat the seat wells, & design some kind of sub box. Oh ya, and shovel the driveway.

 

Hi,

what silicone hose brand did u use for your AST lines?

Cheers

 

hey man everything is looking good like the thread but i have a suggestion i would cover the power cable goin across the fire wall with black loom or re-route it. just a thought..... keep the pic coming very nice

 

All the hoses are from http://www.verociousmotorsports.com. They have a pretty good selection of stuff. I like the shade of blue they carry and the hoses have a matte finish to them. The vacuum tubing is platinum cured (which is supposed to be better) and the heat hose is polyester reinforced.

I know about the powerline and I totally agree. I ran it that way because the previous owner ran some wires that way and that's where the hole was. I really wasn't sure about where I was going to put my amps so I've left it there until I figured it out. I Didn't want to shorten the wire and then figure out I what to put it somewhere else. It's actually already done. I think I have a permanent place for my amps so I re-routed on the other side. I'll take some pics later when it's not so cold out.
