Good call putting the stock intake box back on. I always cringe at an unducted open filter in the bay. Even if it doesn't make that big of a difference, it still just rubs the engineer in me the wrong way.

Well this week I'm in palmsprings for work so didn't get to do anything to her yet, but last Saturday I had a guy come and fix the dent that I had in the rear quarter panel and put some chemical stuff on the paint to make it semi better, remember my paint is very bad and I'm planning to get it painted later this year.

Well it's been a while, was torn back and forth if I should sell her or keep her and get rid of the galant vr4 I have also, but I'm going to keep the rx7 as prices for these cars are going up, I know I won't be ableto afford one in the future...haven't done much to her, I got a pettit ECU and a enfini y-pipe just installed that.


Git the whole ac system fixed with original r12 and she blows nice and cold..












Here is some pictures of my galant vr4 I'm selling, I daily drive a is300 and my wife drives a Subaru Tribeca, so I figured I sell the galant cause the is300 is a awesome car and still new and the rx7 is gonna be my weekend car when my kids drive me crazy

17x9 on the front and 17x9.5 on the rear front rubs a little if I lock it out but car is pretty low to my liking, might be upgrading my suspension really soon. And thank you, my plan is to keep it simple

Well my oil cooler line busted while driving on the Fwy, so you know what that means time to upgrade, I got a great deal o. Some dual r1 oil coolers so let the tear down Begin, and let's just say dam the line that goes from the power steering pump and oil filter is a pain in the *** to get out.

I finally got it out after 3 hrs of struggling with it plus my kids all by me haha, just a quick test fit of the dual r1 that I will be installing in the coming weeks, so the fd will be out of commission till then.




Teaser......
I got a QUOTE for a single turbo setup



Also my son made my day by saying I love the rx7 and can't wait till it's mine lol.


And for some reason they both wanted to take a picture of her broken down lol

Finally got around to installing my walbro 255 fuel pump with kit.
Fairly easy, I had to cut one of the OEM brackets to fit the line and I crimped the power/ground to the new fuel pump wires. Everything went as planned 👍
