So the shiny RX7 font and Veilside badge being blue was driving me nuts. Decided to black them out to better fit in with the rest of the car.



Really like how the RX7 emblem turned out. For the Veilside badge thinking of going in a different direction.




I have an oldschool Mazda steering wheel Emblem that I'm refreshing as a possibility.

 

This is the Badge I'm thinking about, next to my other Veilside Badge.



I'm liking the old font and the black, it's hard to tell in the picture but the Mazda logo is floating in the center giving it a nice depth.

 

i would not do it.

 

Went for a cruise the other day, car is working great, still working out some kinks, and getting some more parts together to get the interior in order. Took the hood off for fun.





Navigation and Sirius all hooked up and the speakers are getting upgraded.


Went with a new Nardi shift **** to tie in the steering wheel.

Also going to go with a bit larger tire to give just a bit more clearance as current setup is sooo low.

 

pffffffffffffffffffffff i want mine finished !!!!! :p
great pictures dude looks fantastic :p

 

This is very nice....

 

Thanks for the comments guys!

Still on the hunt for some seats, will post pics once I locate them!

 

Was very excited to recieve a package from Ray at Malloy Mazda this morning. Inside was some new rubber hood stops, and a fuel sending unit. As I've been driving around with a slightly crooked hood and no fuel gauge, I was stoked!



Pulling the pump etc. went smoothly, and was very happy to see the gauge rise to the amount that seemed to be in the tank when it was open. Went to the gas station to fill up and go for a celebratory cruise when the clutch started slipping and then died all together. Really sucked as I had to limp back to my garage through traffic. Not cool.

Now to source a new clutch. Had been using a 6 puck, not sure why it gave out as there wasn't much mileage on it.

 

A little to much Batmanish for my taste, although it does look clean, excellent body work etc.

And of course do appreciate you share your project.

 

exedy twin disc clutch
do it

 

i have ogura racing twin plate clutch and was very happy about it in my previous fd

 

Turns out I'm having a slave/master cylinder issue, also going to replace the hydraulic line as it is leaking at the bracket.

 

I hope you've cleaned all the fluid off that nice new paint!

Incidentally, I was on eBay last week and saw something familiar...... um..... bored already?

 

Similar? That's the same rx7.... Or they stole the pics..

 

Had a job opportunity where I could not bring the car, have decided to keep it anyway. Will be fun when I get to use it regardless. Lots planned over the winter, single turbo, complete dynamat interior, new seats, leather wrapped dash and door panels, custom halon system, further chassis bracing, improved ride hight.

 

Acquired a Halon Fire Suppression unit today, going to clean it up, paint it, then install it somewhere as yet to be determined.





Thinking about using brake line as it is metal, flexible, and easy to direct to various points in the engine bay.

 

So I cleaned up the Halon Fire Suppression System, here are the pics of the tank and bracket as it progressed:







Mocked it up to see how it looks



Not sure if I want it visible, probably going to mount it in the spare tire location and run the lines with my meth lines. Then run the pull cord to somewhere near the upper B-Pillar, or integrate it into the center console, that way everything is clean and tucked away.

 

nice job

 

Thanks!

Think I'm going to keep it where it is, has grown on me. Like how it is slightly visible through the rear windows.



Decided I'm going to run braided line instead of brake cable, will look better and be easier to work with.

 

Sorry if I missed it but where did you get the Nardi D shape steering wheel?

 

Not sure if I mentioned, found it on Yahoo Auctions Japan. Also really like this one:



It's called the Kallista

 

Some pics of a cruise with some mates from a couple of weeks ago.









Think the season might be over for the Seven. With the clutch parts still not here yet, and the rainy season upon us, I think I'm going to get started on some projects I've been planning.

Over the winter I'd like to do the following:

- Pull out the interior and apply Quiet Car or Dynomat

- Wrap the Dash and door panels, either Black Alcantara or Leather for the Dash and Red leather for the door panels

- Slave and Master Cylinder replace

- E-brake Cables

- Single Turbo

- Front and Rear Dampers for the Hood and Hatch in Carbon Fiber

- Powder coat various engine pieces black

- Improved Ride Height

- Run Fire Suppression Lines

- New Seats

- New Shift Console, Drivers Door Plastics, Passenger Door Plastics and Handle

 

I love you car, I just wish there was a bit more contrast between the two colors.

 

Thanks KKMpunkrock2001! It's hard to tell in photos, but it is really dependent on the lighting conditions how it comes across. Looks a lot different in person, almost comes across bluish in pictures, but in reality much closer to a battleship grey.

 

Beautiful kit.
