Refreshing the stock caliper wasn't as bad as i thought it be . Most time consuming part was cleaning and polishing up the mazda letter. Clean it up with brake cleaner and take a 400grit paper dry sand it till the letters shine. i tried what others on here suggested with a drill or rotary tool to wire wheel it . Didnt turn out so good it was gouging the metal making it rougher and rougher lol anyways once its shiny i cleaned the rest up with a wire scrub and brake cleaner. Masked off the letters and hit it with VHT black gloss caliper paint. Once it drys hit it with gloss clear. A-vuala nice caliper |
one of my favourite build threads. Doing it just how i would like it.

Sanded the lettering a little better and then applied a few more coats of high temp gloss clear . I peaked at my diyness lol
|
FYI you don't have to mask the letters off. Sand them and get them all good, then paint the caliper. After the paint dries sand the paint off the letters. Much easier than trying to individually mask off each letter.

Got me some oem head light lids at a steal price :ylsuper: thanks to ebay 1 time coupon code.
annnnnnnnd a box of reall good goods . Finally... also i may add i restored fate in fedex boxing skills once again each item is double bubble wrapped and stuffed with shipping paper as separation. The part being shipped is heavy..has striaght edges and quite fragile if landed onto the right way .however, who ever wrapped these at fedex, thank you. You did a great job. |

Went to a cars n coffee / rotary meet with a buddy
turn out great and alot of cool rotary peeps. FD behaved wonderfully https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...3cc1a71da0.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...30e424c01c.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a1998978a6.jpg weather was nice and overcast, low mid 60s throughout the event not the usual 90+ with torching sun no cloud beaming straight on your forehead weather. The 2 hour drive each way was lovely |
small update,
today i finally got around with replacing the Fuel pump and fuel level sensor Supra TT pump/ level sensor and new gasket for the tank lid https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0f9d5b808b.jpg also some new sock! https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...974b8d9f1f.jpg old yellowing stuff....eehh https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...6a08a3a57c.jpg all new and pretty.. considering this unit have so high of a mileage, it looks pretty good why replace the level sensor you ask ? well i figured im going in there might as well just change it all at the same time and make it look nice lol (it was working perfectly fine) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0f2f05082c.jpg how dose my gas tank look? i know i must do the pump rewire mod but i dont have the confidence to tackle that just yet... wiring stuff makes me cringe ill work up the courage one day! |
gotta love installing new parts.
As for the pump rewire, have you seen the rewire where you modify the front fuse box? it's really strait forward. |
Man thanks for such a complete thread. Awesome build you have going. Very clean! No way will I be able to deliver such a thorough thread!
|
Minor update. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c7599cb9eb.jpg
|
Glad to see you picked up another one! Nice work dude.

wow looks nice
|
Any pictures of the Regamasters on it? I really like the way they look. Always felt like they needed some kind of center cap. But, then, I'm pretty eccentric, I'm afraid. :)
|
They do have center caps. Infact i have a set of new ones lol
the tires will be mounted soon. And the look will be revealed |
Installed the PFC running on base mod map atm. So smooth i should have done it sooner. The ridiculous 3k jerk is gone now. Well worth it
also installed the turbojeff pfc , datalogit holder. Just like any of his product's. Superb ! |
|
Everything is looking awesome man. That pfc is a wonderful piece of equipment!! Enjoy
|
Took some time today to do the front relay box fuel pump rewire
10awg to 10awg oem battery power source simple, clean rewire like nothing happened. Retains factory 1-2 speed 9v-12v system https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...90ff6c6443.jpg |
Got these cool jdm goodness installed too , sorry for the poor lighting
they are also for sale I will enjoy them until they go to the new owners https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b413eb2357.jpg |
Love those things. Wish I could fit comfortably!
|
What is the benefit of wiring the fuel pump that way?
|
Any more updates? I love this build!
|
Got a few updates but very scattered I'll upload some more
