Good job Phil. It looks great. I'm kinda dissapointed though...no polished/chrome nuts for the bottom charge pipes? Whats up with that? J/K. Looks great.

 

LOL! I'll work on that next

Here is a pic of my new gauges... I always like these Defi BFs.. Now I just need to order Fuel Pressure gauge from Jason (RX7store.net) and I'm done with gauges.. By the way, I didn't know these pods are going up in price




My goal now is to get the car finished and show it at DGRR 2008 (Deals Gap Rotary Rally 2008 )

Also, I'm now thinking I should just stick with 94 plastic finish instead of CF ing the interior plastics.. What you guys think?? CF or 94??

 

I'd leave it as the 94 plastic, can't really explain why.

 

Sweet Build, Congrats!

 

94 plastic, cf only belongs in race car interiors.

 

Hey phil, if you decide to carbon fiber, sell me your 94 stuff haha

 

As of now, I'm leaning more towards 94 interior... I also don't have much time to CF it.. Thanks to con artist Jason Evans aka Sonic7.. Apparently after mods shut down my thread about bad guy good guy about Jason, another person got RIPPED off by Sonix7..

I hope NO ONE else makes this mistake! If anyone reading this and lives near Fort Collins area, Please help another FD owner get his parts BACK!!! If you know a LEO in that area or lawyer, that would greatly help!

 

Phil, I say stay with the 94 interior. While I like carbon fiber, I think it is primarily meant for aero applications. Interior applications are cool where it is actually offering significant weight savings (le. composite floor boards, dash replacements etc.) but it looks a little out of place on consumer sports cars such as the RX-7.

 

Thanks Wanklin!

I'm going to start putting my interior over my next 2 week vacation.. I'll post some pics

 

Damn Phil, you've snapped!! Your car seems to be taking even longer than mine though. I gotta talk to you about something, but I'll PM you that.


Take Care,
Rizwan

 

I know.. Its now going on 3 years... I have next 10 days off and going to do some work on it

I guess I'll start with the interior and try to put the engine in.. And now I'm waiting on few other parts and they won't get to me until Mid to end of January.. So, I have to wait little long..

I also didn't receive your PM..

 

i hate you!!! man it sucks being a college student and not being able to do anything to the car! nice car man!

 

wow very sexy build. keep up the good work.

 

nice build mate, alot of days have gone into that, just finished mine on the engine now

 

leave it 94 plastics some things are better left stock

 

herblenny,

what size are your SSR comps? the older pics of your car with those looks perfect.


did you say you have 4 sets of them or something? why dont you sell me a set

 

DAAAAM!!! Can I ask where you got those intakes and what are the 2 things coming off the side of the greddy elbow!!!!

 

That car looks brand new...Great work.

 

phil you have to much money and not enough time.

keep it coming.

 

You don't know how good you have it...

It sucks working for a living. I'd rather be back in college partying and hooking up with college chicks.

Car is looking good Phil. Good luck getting it done.

 

Greddy Sells the elbow with 2 different flanges.,
a) the dual injector flange (you see on herb's car )
b) for a Greddy BoV
c) no flange

the idea behind the injector one is to place two 1600cc injectors in there,.
and run those injectors on a totaly different computer or tie them in to your haltec or whatever

 

I'll be running 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear.. Tires, 285/30/18s front and 305/30/18s Rear.

Yeah, I do have 3.5 sets of these.. maybe 4? (2)18x7.5s, (2)18x8s, (4-6)18x9s, (2)18x9.5, and (6) 18x10.5s

Intakes are custom made by Garfinkle Motorworks.. and the elbow.. I bought that back in 2000.. I think?

I don't think I have too much money.. I sold one of my FD and got a raise at work.. Now I just want to finish off the FD.. I thought I was going to have ton of time over this vacation but doesn't seem like it.. I went to a doctor yesterday and today and now my arm is sore as hell and not going to do anything until next week sometime...

Thanks! I also wished I was back in college... The good times I had

 

ok sell me 2 18x8s and 2 18x9's
or maybe 4 18x9's

how much you want?

 

As always, most excellent Phil. Looks fantastic. My vote is for 94 plastics.

 

That's because I haven't sent it yet . I'll PM you shortly...
