1993 CYM R1 Street/Track/Time Attack Build
I started my love with Rx-7's when I turned 16 and picked up a 1981 that was in some bad shape. I rebuilt that car from the ground up to road race, but after joining the military I had to get rid of my FB. I knew I would get another and I knew I wanted a FD next time around. Seven years later and now 25 I found one! I picked her up in June from my buddy Rich. Fresh paint with no engine or transmission. I'm a little over a month out from my deployment being over, so I'm starting my build thread now to tie up any loose ends before I get back. I'm planning to build a streetable track/time attack car with full interior. I've been ordering parts since july and here is what I have so far.
My plan was to go Non-seq but after researching for months I'm going single instead. Looking for opinions on what turbo and port to go with. Thanks for looking!

I ordered a PT6266 today with a HKS manifold 50mm wastegate, and downpipe. I'm excited to try this puppy out!
|
Awesome. I've always wanted a CYM myself. Looking forward to the build. Good luck!
|
Nice car, looking forward to your completed build.
|
I orginally wanted a SSM or BB. This CYM has grown on me though. Plus with black accents it will pop!
|
Looks like it might be a Mazdaspeed hood chillin in the background there? Or a Knightsport?
-Austin |
is it a real CYM? im noticing the tan seat or is it just in there because it came with the shell.
|
It's original CYM. The seats were swapped out for a MB Rx-7 before i bought it. I'll get the black back in there, It might not be stock though lol. The engine bay is the original color, but the outside body is CYM with metallic mixed in! It looks amazing! The difference in original color and stock is just beautiful. I'm not sure what what hood it is. its fiberglass and I'll be replacing it here soon.
|
For time attack & street? You could go with anything from stock ports to an aggressive street port.
I probably wouldn't bridge it. But, that's just me. |
I'm going to stick with stock ports for the time being. I want to see what kind of numbers and times I can make with stock ports first.
|
That would have been my recommendation, but some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.
|
Well I'm a week out from getting back to the states and getting this project started. I've been online researching like a mad man and always seem to end up on one of Howard Coleman's threads lol. I went with his suggestion of the Tein S Tech Springs (Front 436 Lbs/in Rear 324 Lbs/in 1.5in drop) and I'll be ditching the R1 struts here soon as well. I am going to be looping the PS as to get rid of the pump and tossing the A/C with it. I also decided to try my hand at no blow off valve. This is what I bought here lately. I can't wait to get back and get started!

|
Finally back to the states and am in the process of building a better garage/shop before I can begin. If the rain will stop I can clear everything out. I'll give a better update with pic once the garage is in order lol.

Welcome home, and thank you for doing what you do on your deployments.:icon_tup:
I'm looking forward to following your build adventure. In mapping out your build and accumulating parts, you've done exactly what I'm hoping to do when I get home. It will be fun to watch your car come together! Where do you plan to track the car? VIR? Road Atlanta? Summit Point? Roebling Road? Barber? All of the above? Just trying to build the anticipation for you. |
Let me know if you wanna sell that hood. Im looking for a fiberglass one to chop up.
|
Thanks I appreciate it , it's good to be home.
VIR is my first choice as it is only 2.5 hours away. Today I cleaned up most of the garage, enough to get to started tomorrow. building me a proper workbench http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2155.jpg http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2154.jpg Nicely painted and yes there were supports added http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2160.jpg I felt like my old vice was lacking lol http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2162.jpg All done for the night http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2167.jpg |
Car and work bench booth look great :icon_tup: Not sure if you've made contact with Widefoot about their sway bar mounts but if you do, please let me know. I've tried, as have others, without luck.
|
I have a pair of the original version Widefoot sway bar mounts in my parts bins. Not as nice as the 2nd generation versions he developed. Wish I had bought a pair of those when he had them available.
|
I also have some Widefoot mounts on my FD but tried to contact them because some customers ask me about sway bar mounts. The widefoot mounts are/were a great product :icon_tup:
|
Nice build, I have a hood just like that for my CYM, keep debating if I should put it on.
|
Well I finally had this last week home and not TDY or sick. I went ahead and stripped the interior for cleaning and quitcoat, De-powered the steering, Installed the HID's, Stripped the harness of the tape and non needed wires, and Cleaned up a bunch of parts.
The power steering was pretty straight foward and didnt take long at all. I couldn't find bolts to plug the holes but Lowes had automotive plugs to cap off the tube bolts and I used a vacuum cap to plug the big bolt. I also welded up the quill shaft. All the tubes taken off! http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2172.jpg I went to Lowes and grabbed a few automotive plugs for the holes http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2178.jpg Waiting for the mounts to soak and I'm finished http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2177.jpg Next was the wiring harness. This was a pain in the ass to get the damn tape off. after that it was not bad seperating the wires from the harness. I'm not going to tape it back up until she runs and I know where I want to put everything. Before removing any wires http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2176.jpg Awesome pic lol! If you make this I want one! http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...torMonster.jpg Another car pic http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r.../Rx-7/Rx-7.jpg Simple green works amazing! It started green then it turned black by the morning http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/CIMG2182.jpg |

|

|
