The interior will all go back together with no problems, right :rofl:

Been there done that :lol:

Yeah haha. Comes apart so easy. Then 6 months pass and you forget everything.

A little update. front harness and engine harness is out and now im going to tear into the setup.

If anybody has info on how to relocate the fuse/ relay boxes and how to wire up starter/alternator into the front harness in a clean way, lmk!

Awesome build! I actually live down the street from you and noticed your car a few months ago, I always wondered if you were on here.

A lot of the guys I hang with have V8 swapped Rx7s, mainly LS swaps. Most of them aren't on the forums, some of them know LS engines and wiring pretty damn well. if you ever find some time hit up michiganrotaryclub.com. Would love to stop by and check it out sometime.

Can't wait to see more updates!

if you want it done right you have to do it yourself!!
haha man how i dont miss doing all that :P

well rear chassis wiring has come out and its looking cleaner.
ABS module, defog, wiper, antenna, and all associated wired have been removed. All the wiring going from front to rear of the car on the passenger side have been eliminated. (not sure about the single orange wire that was left over but we will see what happens)

Next step is some fun with dry ice to remove sound deadening ;)

Oh, if you guys have and recommendation on spray options for coating up the interior, lmk

Jesus man. When I see wires everywhere I want to shoot myself. Crazy build

Lizard Skin is great for heat deflection and sound deadening.

Thank you sir! it looks like im leaning towards lizard skin solution at the moment. i just need to figure out how many gallons i would need to do the interior of the car...

spent some time removing sound deadning with dry ice. it didnt go as smooth as i thought so i ended up buying an air compressor and went to towk with the air hammer. i feel like i didnt even need dry ice after all. just air hammer wouldve worked just as well.

How's the project coming? Noticed another FD in the driveway, hope it's going well!

haha was that you that reved by a few weeks ago? that one is rotary actually. i have been slacking on updating on here but i have been posting videos on youtube. stop by sometime :)

Been watching you and Howzer Tech lately, I am on youtube as well rebuilding my FD in Japan. Channel is Draklore or ShaneDrake2 or something like that. anyways, keep the updates coming.

Man ive been slacking with the forums. heres some update!

Glad to see you're still working on it! I have been meaning to stop by sometime, hopeful about finishing it this year? Still seems like a lot of work.

How's your other FD doing?

CZeroMedia! Love your youtube channel bro! Where in MI are you located? I couldn't believe your video where you had the evo 8, vette, and FD all outside under a foot of snow. :crackup: What part of MI are you from? Ann Arbor?

Enjoying your latest video series on the FD... even though it's an LS swap. :icon_tdow

haha ofcourse;) my other one has been just sitting unfortunately :(


haha im in south east like RO area. come to my meets sometimes! and hey, i got a 13b too!

What meets do you have? I think everyone in the neighborhood envies your driveway.

Sweet. I'm over in the Northville area. Trying to get my FD running before the summer is over. Once it's running, I'll be there. When's the next meet?

As long as you still have the 13b bro! :lol:

Good to see progress being made, what are the next major items to tackle? Wiring? I should have asked when I was over last.

yeah probably. its not a hard swap at all tbh

I apologize for the lack of update.
I ended up removing the motor for a complete rebuild.
Take a look below.

well im back at it, working on the thing again
