wow, read the whole thread and the links to the FE engine. Im guessing you kept the car from the get go due to sentimental value. I wish I saw this thread earlier, I have a spare driver side door and a wiper hatch.... but you got everything covered. Modifying a car is one thing, but restoring it from...what it was.... is really on a whole other level. So much respect and props for bringing it back to life. |
I still feel compelled to suggest you not install the interior until everything in there is cleaned up and the car is water tight. You'll spend so much time cleaning stuff up at the end. If that's how you want it, then disregard. But I hate to see you spend time doing all that stuff when you will just have to disassemble and start all over. I won't even secure my dashboard and install all the bolts until I test my A/C system, and I haven't even rebuilt my engine yet! I'm still rebuilding my brakes all around. G2 paint is ordered, and should be here in a week. Keep up the good work!!

thank you for your offer though!!!

Everything is just a mock up i haven't screwed anything yet or bolted I still have to paint the chasis, roof is not welded yet body kit not aligned, gas cap needs trimming and a whole lot more im just trying to complete the parts first making it show quality is not in the picture im not a fan of a strip interior cause its too loud on the inside if you dd it i have to take the car apart at least 5 more times engine at least 4 times i already know cause good parts keeps coming in and who knows i might get another descent chasis later on i need the car to run first no matter how nasty it looks to make sure i have everything stock righ then 2nd stage will take effect with mods for sure Sad to say but im only 5% done with the car :( send me some pics of your car bro!!!:nod:

Current state of affairs in in my build thread linked in my signature. If you need any particular reference pictures, I can try to provide. I'll have some more updates after my brake rebuild. I'm going to post a group of junk I've gotten done since my last update. Progress has been drastically slowed these past few months as the car cannot be justifiably funded at the moment.

As for your question, it looks like post #10 in this thread confirms the blower boxes to be interchangeable: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...-drive-806643/ None of the other boxes are. I rehab'd mine pretty easily, so I know you'll have no problems. Good luck! |
so i still have time today after i took a nap so tired
i wanted to see if the oil pan is the solution to make this fit but i guess not took me at least 30 min to set up the car engine on the hoist and bolting the transmission together https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1512/...39c22c6b_z.jpg22 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1547/...8713b9ea_z.jpg17 by nakahachi, on Flickr i dont want to carry the transmission although its light so i used 2 floor jacks to maneuver a more lazy method https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1551/...2cb8fa88_z.jpg21 by nakahachi, on Flickr installed new engine mounts https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1512/...cfd4db16_z.jpg18 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1599/...74725e00_z.jpg19 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1563/...05d178d9_z.jpg20 by nakahachi, on Flickr its time https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1547/...8713b9ea_z.jpg17 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1638/...b16d3745_z.jpg23 by nakahachi, on Flickr i wanna see how strong this getrag transmission is i have blown 3 w55 transmission in my corolla https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1603/...c4252b0c_z.jpg24 by nakahachi, on Flickr its in https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1683/...cbf8d301_z.jpg25 by nakahachi, on Flickr |
this is where the issue begins
plate is 5 inches shorter for the shifter https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1660/...87469226_z.jpg26 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1542/...ceaca703_z.jpg28 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1689/...f4c6b426_z.jpg27 by nakahachi, on Flickr and the second issue https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1589/...159eb656_z.jpg30 by nakahachi, on Flickr still up 3 and 3/4 https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1496/...8818675b_z.jpg29 by nakahachi, on Flickr oil pan already bottomed out been cut 2 inches something https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1693/...90c57604_z.jpg34 by nakahachi, on Flickr just a quick view on underneath https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1463/...ca8f529a_z.jpg32 by nakahachi, on Flickr engine just needs to be pushed forward maybe half an inch https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1489/...c2984013_z.jpg31 by nakahachi, on Flickr so next thing is to mod the subframe its good i got a spare one to work with https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1688/...ddcd32e8_z.jpg33 by nakahachi, on Flickr this week will be focusing on the subframe transmission shifter engine mounts and maybe transmission mounts also |
so this morning i have some ikea bed frame center supports sitting at the backyard
perfect for making a bracket to hold the chasis in place so it doesnt get misaligned https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1710/...8ae0e9f6_o.jpg1 by nakahachi, on Flickr started cutting the wood and drilling it in its place https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1512/...ff622141_o.jpg2 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1599/...793f5353_o.jpg3 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1449/...74877d08_o.jpg4 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1555/...9fbe31f4_o.jpg6 by nakahachi, on Flickr so now for the subframe need to cut it in four corners https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1590/...b3675580_o.jpg5 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1532/...9fbe31f4_o.jpg7 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1605/...ce3b6fd0_o.jpg8 by nakahachi, on Flickr i ran out of sheet metal so i ran to the shop i need to make a new one for the shifter also since its short and bought a heavy duty drill bit and cutting wheels https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1490/...96d744be_o.jpg9 by nakahachi, on Flickr will be cutting it tonight when i get home |

I say forget that 4 cyl and put in a 2jz! It is a way better platform to start with and supporting in the FD world.

so easter sunday perfect time to clean up the backyard
i decided to thrash one hatch cause i have 2 and its taking up space keeping the glass started removing the seal took a little bit of force trying to save the seal so its out i dont have the proper tool and thinking of a easy way out to remove the glasse so i decided to just cut the hatch so i can insert a string to use to cut the sealant i have to pry this a little bit so the string could pass through my speciall tool lol almost halfway its good i have a bed that im gonna throw away good for the floor so i dont scrape the glass after 45 min of struggle glass is out and this is the car for now test fit for now car is still getting painted so no need to seal at the moment going to the scrap metal this week |
