Gotta undo motor mounts tomorrow and jack the motor up. Sump isn't sealed well.. it's pissing oil!! Then going to dyno next week get a proper tune done.
Once car is tuned then will order Adaptronic ecu from Elliott. Keen to give it a bash

So the oil leak has been sorted atleast.
Went to get the car tuned however I was receiving RPM interference and "Home" and "Reference" errors on the Microtech handset. The timing was jumping all over the place.
The guy managed to tune the car a bit so I can drive it. So then my mission was to sort out the interference issues and the errors. Turns out wires were wrong way around on one of the crank angle sensor plugs
Changed the wires around and no more errors or red light on the ECU happy days!!
So gonna take the car back for a tune sometime soon so I can go race the car and enjoy it a bit.
The guy who fixed my ecu problem has a nice Borg warner S400 76mm turbo for me with a 1.10 exhaust housing
Going to buy that and get a new manifold made same time but first Im collecting some fuel goodies to go with the larger turbo
Things on order at the moment:
1x bosch 044 fuel pump
1x AEM FPR
Aftermarket Primary and secondary fuel rails
2x 1600cc secondary injectors
Some recent pics from the passed few weeks
Little Rotary gathering the other day
My car with a 650kw Supra
My Fd and my mates GTI on neochrome Rota's and Airlift air suspension

Update time
Got the car tuned eventually after fixing the errors with the crank pick ups. The clown who wired it in mixed up the polarities on the one plug
Anyway car is running nicely now made some alright power for the current setup that is in the car. Atleast I can enjoy the car now that it is tuned properly
Car made 348hp at 13psi. Wanted a pump gas tune so we stopped the tuning at that boost
Another pic from the wash meet the other day
Nice and clean

Hi guys,
Not too much to update here
Car has been running 14lb boost and is going nicely for a tiny t3 turbo on the car.
Future plans will still include a way bigger turbo to make some proper power
The FD is getting shot this weekend for a local online magazine
Have been so busy with my new project gathering funds that the rx7 hasn't had much done to it recently just been enjoying driving it and waking up the neighbourhood
My new project with the Rx7

Great looking car! Love it!
Not sure if you're aware, but where your trailing arm connects to the lower control arm there should be a pillow-ball bushing and not a poly bushing. That's why its popping out like that. The pillow-ball bushing is held in by retention clips which keep it in place. Not sure if you put a poly bush there intentionally or by accident.

Just keeps getting better man, that other set of wheels looks sweet too! I'm surprised you haven't gotten a feature in one of the local car magazines/ sites yet. Keep it up

Got my new twinscroll T4 manifold today
Getting my new turbo sometime this week or next week,
Then need to buy new wastegate then will send car in for new boost pipes and downpipe as well.
Hope to make some proper power with new setup.
Will change injectors, fuel rails, FPR, and add additional fuel pumps in the new year
