John u into trannies now?



I will be back in a month i will post a detail video of the car overall

 

John loves to break trannys from the back.

 

So it's a rumour that he blows trannies huh

 

^ Not much of a rumor.

 

More pics of this beast please

 

I will post a few updates in a few days.. if i hopefully get to finish all the planned work in the short duration i will be there.

 

I demand pics

 

updates?

 

not much of an update

i arranged a hillclimb "race"/gathering between friends while i was there.. i was there for a very short amount of time.I idnt really get to drive it much. had some minor electrical issues and water methanol injection issues but all is well now.



so i have been running around like a headless chicken with work lately. once i get a moment to combine my videos from that gathering i will upload them

 

in for updates as well!

Forum may be dead but there are people still around!

 

i guess you are right.


anyhow,

i replaced the fans with the Spal Bigger brothers as i was overheating when the a/c on.. Condenser radiates a lot of heat, my previous fans were not that strong (844CFM vs 1460CFM each). Car would still overheat, After scratching my head i decided to remove the front diffuser. temperatures dropped immediately ... Now that i see it from a different angle, it was more than obvious given the radiator orientation. on a relatively hot night in cyprus (around 90F) and the 65C thermostat, with the AC on, water term was 69C..

I am currently in the process of taking it apart and send it out for another paint job .. maybe something glossy this time.. im thinking whether i should change the rear wing with something else.. not sure what else but from a certain angle i dont like the current one as much




im currently in the process of making (or rather design/think ) how to make a custom gauge cluster hood to accommodate the boost control (which is a gauge) 2 egts and maybe a gear indicator. on my current Defi ZD monitor mount i attached a shift light which also acts as a warning light when things get out of Range on the monitor

 

Me thinks you should get a racepak and give me your Defi ZD

 

Uh huhh.. thats right dom lol

 

The combined video for that gathering.. thanks to ukraine international airline i had a 20 hour delay and no bags when i arrived therefore i dont have any onboard videos from the gathering as all my mounts where in my bags

I didnt invite all the rx7 guys there.. not everyone showed up but a gorgeous spirit r came . So enjoy!

 

Very nice Costas

 

Looks like a really fun event. Car looking good

 

thanks guys.

Actually the event came out very nice.. one minor issue (a waterleak from one of the supras) but it was minor.. it was basically fixed on the spot
other than that . no issues and everyone was mature enough (which is almost never the case)

i was disappointed in the drone videos. the guy was a complete tool . i ended up buying my own after seeing his terrible views

next year with more cars and much better coverage

 

^Tell us how you really feel my friend

 

not much of an update since i cant go back to cyprus now



car is being prepared for a new paint job. Perhaps a different spoiler on the back .
I had a buddy of mine add(photoshopped rather) that duck tail to see whether the gap between the trunk lid and the spoiler could decrease but its a failed attempt. looks pretty good overall i think. Not sure i want to go that route as of yet,
Maybe put the OEM wing back on with an odula carbon insert and call it a day


carbon Hood will be painted to blend in with the rest car. Gloss paint for me this time .. maybe pearl.. who knows at this point lol

I have ordered a new transmission from liberty. something more civilized so yeah if anyone wants a tranny (cough cough Ambrosio ) i will send it over

 

Bump for updates

 

Meh what updates

 

This is what it looked like on my car. It works well and is much less "boy racer" in my opinion. But I'm old so....

i decided to go into a different direction. I wanted to decrease the gap between trunk lid and the spoiler. instead i decided to get a lower spoiler lol .

your car looks good !

 

Post some damn pictures already! I love this build

 

Thanks! i will post some new material shortly.. i havent even seen my car in several months
