A little something
A JP3 brake booster line reroute is just a little something that appeared to clean up the engine bay. This little reroute eliminated the need to run this vacuum line all the way to the intake. I am not sponsored but I always like to thank those vendors who keep producing aftermarket parts for these cars. Thank you JP3.

Looks much better and simpler! The brake booster line and throttle cable was really optimised for RHD and just "made work" for LHD wasn't it. I'm surprised Mazda didn't make nicer solutions for LHD cars considering how many were made.

I have learned over the years that when you remove parts it is always a good practice to do some cleaning. I love brake cleaner for cleaning purposes. Just make sure you never spray it on paint. My buddy Joey came through again with a nice little bracket for my brake portion valve. I also went ahead and installed the hoses for my windshield wipers. When I had a custom fiberglass hood put on all the hoses were removed and never used again. I feel like I made modifications to the car without thinking it all the way out. I am enjoying my car much more now than then. Fixing those mistakes really improves the drivability. A lot more to come soon. Until then brap on rotards |
I think it's all looking awesome and I agree with the cleaning up.... maybe I can see you at the next rotary meet.

Track focus modification
I am constantly learning more and more about what it takes to build a well sorted FD. In the past I often over looked some important engineering things that made the rx7 so great. The first time I went single turbo many things that were important were eliminated. I was a little naive and was highly influenced by people that built rotary drag racing cars. In my area drag racing is very popular. Most these drag racing cars do I quater mile run
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b2be423103.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d956db2587.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f7fd96d47a.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c6ad84e3be.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...6c549ab60a.jpg and then they are turned off and left to cool as they wait for the next pass. Things like cooling, brakes and suspension are often over looked. Drag racing is cool but I wanted to build something a little different. Something that can perform well in hot Fl weather and also on a proper roadcourse. One of the things removed from my car was the air pump. What I failed to realize is that now the belt for the water pump was barely touching the water pump pulley. Driving around the street was never a problem but this car will eventually hit the track. There is no room for an Fd to not have proper cooling on a track day. Hot motor means new motor period. I installed this pineapple pulley to remedy this problem. |
Man this is looking awesome. I like that shorty cable!! I will look into that one.
As for the pulley I am still debating. One part of me says go for it. The other part says it is just another point of failure. I forgot which radiator you have. I know with the Vmount your running cool. Is this overkill?? Let me know. I am running very cool with my N-FLO. Not sure what to think with this mod yet. |

This mess driving me insane. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e6062197db.jpg Plastics removed after my rpm gauge and odometer was fixed. I wanted to make sure that they held up. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...4ade06a12d.jpg A piece of cardboard place between new plastic gauge cover and the dash to keep it from scratching as i drive the car. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...541006f618.jpg Figuring out how to wire up the ac to work with the oem climate controls. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...6bb435a428.jpg New middle panel and looking to get rid of the ash tray in the near future. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...bb5626c3a0.jpg Changed up my shifter and it feels great now that everything is lined up.
