So its been a while since I have done anything to the car....time for an update.
Yesterday (Sunday 28th), Dale (local rx-7 guru) and I started pulling the motor. Started at about 10am and finally got it out and took of most of the accessories about 1ish pm. We should have a list of stuff to get and the motor taken apart on Tuesday. Gonna be a busy week.
Dale the guru...lol
Motor finally out
"We got no motors Ted!!!"

Ok...so yesterday (07/30/2013) me and Dale tore the engine apart. Looks like I broke two Apex seals on the front rotor. Gauged up the front rotor housing and front rotor a bit....so Im on the look out for those parts now.
This is the culprit that was giving me issues...
Spicy Doritos....yum
Everything else is in really good condition (thank goodness). Should be giving all the parts a good clean on Saturday. Until then, I will be looking for the replacement parts.

This motor should turn out really sweet. It's also a good opportunity to get in there and clean and straighten up a lot of things to make the engine bay nicer.
We'll be cleaning parts Saturday, break out the Super Clean!

i just realized you guys were in Pensacola. I live in Biloxi, MS myself. i don't get down there much but, if you happen to come this way definitely shoot me a pm and i'll give you my number to hit me up. i'd like to meet more local rx7 owners, especially guys that do their own work.
just keep doing what you're doing. the car looks amazing and the work looks great as well.

i'm glad I came across this. i found out exactly how brittle the vents become after so many years of use.
it feels great fixing a problem on a car that effects it's drivability so much doesn't it.

Update (8/3/13): Cleaned some more parts and even got some parts painted. Dale found a rotor housing....so now I just need to find a rotor. ALS seals already came in and Dale is putting together a list of seals, vacuum houses and other stuff we will be needing.
Before and after cleaning the rotors. We cleaned everything even more.
Engine Bay before pics.

Before Paint.
Prep for paint.
After paint...Gunmetal (paint still wet)
Dale the Guru working on my turbos...his car in the garage.
And last but not least my trophy...lol. Bad rotor housing and rotor.
