so this is about the 3rd time ive wrote this, my laptop keeps crashing and its really starting to piss me off.
anyway, just thought id post some pics of the progress of the rx7 so far, this week ill be waiting on some piping to be welded and that "should" be about it. what a load off my shoulders, its been almost a year and damn im ready for it. mods recently added: street port, 3mm apex seals, aspec 500r kit, tial wastegate, tial bov, secondary fuel rail, supra fuel pump, aeromotive fpr, thats all i can think of right now. --list at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2229056 id like to thank javier the most for being a badass. you gave me so much guidance and did a great job at porting and rebuilding- matt for helping me put everything together, curtis for welding, and everyone else who helped out [sabastian, justin, jodie, jinka, brandon, larry, etc] should be running soon, i may just throw the drivers seat in it because my interior is pretty stripped anyway heres the pics of the engine progress: http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...n292007030.jpg night i was aware of the water seal broke :( Attachment 719838 Attachment 719839 Attachment 719840 Attachment 719841 Attachment 719842 attempted to polish throttle body by hand Attachment 719843 Attachment 719844 Attachment 719845 Attachment 719846 Attachment 719847 Attachment 719848 Attachment 719849 Attachment 719850 Attachment 719851 Attachment 719852 Attachment 719853 Attachment 719854 Attachment 719855 |

Kristyn, I thought you already were running a Greddy T78? Well hmm, when is yours going to be done? Because I am picking my FD up from Pearland around middle of December from getting my GT35R done.

anyway i ran stock twins before this set up, dont remeber considering the greddy t78, but i was considering the gt35r before i came across the 500r --bet you are looking forward to your fd being done, atleast you'll have one hell of a christmas by having it back :] |
I am your friend on myspace and I thought that is what it said on your tagline. I can't remember where I got t78 from though. I think in one of our convo's you said you were thinking about it. I can't remember though....oh and I just commented you on myspace.

very nice!!! I'm saving up to do a single too. do you have a vacume hose diagram for the single conversion? I've searched but I couldn't find it. and thanks for all the pics.

looking at big turbos makes me want to cry in my s4 GXL. it's a serious double edged sword because its stock and has 30k original miles and so its sort of like murder to mess with it too much in my opinion.

ah it should be all back together and on the road by this weekend. ended up doing a lot of additional mods while the motor was out so that's delayed the whole process.

looks good, any reason you chose the 500r over the gt35r?

the whole set up was kinda a bitch to me, but hopefully the results will make up for it. |

There's nothing hotter than a lady working on a car, especially if that car's an FD. Excellent job on the build.

he must feel ashamed to have a gf that has a car that could own him. unless hes boosting something crazy. those sr20's can be nasty
but from what i can remember i think he's leaning more towards drifting, as so am i with my fc, but it will be a longggg time till then. |
