Nice, I need one of your money trees in my yard. I like everything but the steering wheel. A Nardi wheel may be recognized by some for it's expense, but few would agree that it looks good in an RX7 interior. Vintage Jaguar yes, Mazda FD RX7, No. You do have good taste for nice upgrades though.

haha I'm just messing with you. Nice progress, my friend. You seem mechanically adept -- why not build the motor yourself? |
im sorry i just think putting an LS1 in car that was meant to have a rotary is just plain fucking stupid, but, i still have love for the motor just not in my car. to be honest with you this is the first time i have ever done anything like this, if i had the money i would pay to get it done, there is a reason why im doing it my self this time...... but i rather not get in to that. i didn't want to build my motor cuz i have no prior experience on it. i plan on buying a blown one and see if i can build it but we will see.
anyway had some time today so i took my calipers off sprayed them silver. im pretty happy i wasn't trying to get them perfect just hated the faded red from the last owner. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00241.jpg the paint i used http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00244.jpg all sprayed up !! http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00246.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00249.jpg from nasty to classy http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00250.jpg |
i forgot to mention i hit the calipers with like 4 or 5 coats i also painted my diff brace. why ? i dont know i think i was bored.
|
some progress on the car got my front mount on
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...MICbackon2.jpg sorry for the horrible angle but the banzai diff brace installed and painted silver. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00343.jpg new polished LIM and my fuel rail i painted silver http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00350.jpg |
painted and wrapped my down pipe with DEI exhaust wrap and paint.
