So is the final color of the car going to be flat black?

Was this car hit in front?

Also, whats with the hating on red FD's? (check sig)

Do you think there is any chance you will be going to deals gap next year?

John

 

Is it just me, or is the fitment on that bumper awful?

 

no thats primer , the final color is a secrete .. but it will be primer / flat black for a couple months . as I dont have the money for the paint job .



the fitment is really good .. if you notice the driver side fender isnt on the car . and the bumper is not being held on by any bolts like I said before its just hanging there ..

the car has never been hit the frame is the ONE good thing on it .

But as the project has taken a turn for hte worse seems like everything is back tracked .. the engine is blown ..


125 PSI front rotor , 30 psi back rotor .. yeah today was a shitty day .

 

rough muff, just get an engine from somebody here already built and call it the day. There is a few engines for sale right now

 

I rather not.. I bought the engine a week ago .. from a shitty ebay seller. granted but well buying an overhaul kit for 500 and rebuilding it will be cheaper

 

Glad to see you saved it from its prior misery...

 

Haha , no hate man I think they are beautiful , but 90% of RX-7's are red! . and I've never been a fan of red on my cars to flashy haha , or well as the main color, and since I had to repaint anyways .. I wanted to do something exotic I should say. , but the dark primer is a hint . lol

and deals gap .. maybe .. the car is almost ready to run . just missing the engine itself .. which when I get a refund ( dont ask me how I got one ) for the last engine , I will be shopping for a new one.. going to try locally , and if not get it from japan2la and be done with it! . after that is taken care of cosmetics are the only things left , oh and new wheels / tires need those before deals gap for sure..

oh and by Run I mean take a walk around the block using engine power hah

 

Oh my naive self I got lazy and didnt finish this . Car is still getting restored per say . But it is running I'll try and update from here till now

 

ok so after that did the rest of the prepwork to primer the car down .

even though the paint didnt look bad and was insfact new it was stained in certain areas and those stains wouldnt come off so I just said hell with it .. I'm building hte car from scratch i might as well paint it a color I truly love....

Welll when I can that is ..

 

and here it is after primer everything is held together with nothing really not even a bolt hahI just wanted to dream about what my car would look like

 

Emptying out the fuel tank



the gauge said it was at empty but I wanted to clean it anyways . So I emptied it , put some fresh gas in ,

Replaced the Fuel filter.. Something i am dreading ... from the bottom of my heart doing again .

and put some new Fuel in , took it out again , and a bit of new gas in again just to keep something in there keep water from collecting .

 

OEM wheels in the front , 19's in the back .. damn I hated this LOL , But my friend painted them so they atleast looked the same color

Also replaced all the boots for the steering rack and other rubbery misc stuff

 

i hope the secret color is a red.......... those jams will look funny! looking good otherwise!

 

Thread needs more updates!

Post some of your autox pics, and new mods man.

 

hah yeah I do need to update it . hah its taken me longer to make this build thread then it did to
get the car on the road . I'll update it tonight when I get home.

 

Still undecided got alot of bridges to cross before paint .

But the jams would be painted when I do decide hah

 

This gonna be at DGRR?

 

yes frank will be there .
