I'll be using the one I've been working on for the body kit. The one I bought with the kit on it runs and drives great so I will out it back to stock and drive it.

This weekend I will be picking up a caged 83 rx7 for FREE!!!

Talk about lucky lmao pics when I get it.

what size is that rear housing fitting?! please and thank you my oil lines are coming in the mail and im missing the fittings lol
awesome build btw:nod:

craaaazzy Sep 5, 2014 12:02 PM

u can get those fittings from racing beat. not sure of the specific size without looking at the RB site.

myfree7 Sep 5, 2014 12:17 PM

Honestly it's been so long I don't remember what size they are. As stated above racing beat sells them ad you can get all the info there.

do you know which one is bigger/smaller between front and back?

diabolical1 Sep 5, 2014 05:38 PM

the front cover fitting and cooler fittings are all the same, but smaller than the rear housing fitting. i think it is 18 mm.

Sadly the motor is locked, however it does have the crazy hard to find 3 piece wing on it and many other awesome parts I can use!

I also found this bad boy for only $150

Update:

I have finishes installing all the brand new steering parts and reinstalled the strut tubes to get the car rollable. I also did get the car to fire for a few seconds! I have yet to plumb in the new carburetor so I can only start it on starting fluid.

As for the interior I wasn't happy with the huge hole around the shifter so I made a rotor shaped trim ring and mounted it to the center console. Still need to buy new bolts and mount the rear en up. Pics soon

myfree7 Nov 18, 2014 09:20 PM

Car is now rollable! Not drivable, but able to be transported to my house and out of my girlfriends nice garage lol. Car still needs a lot of work, but it has to be moved to my house. It will sit outside with the other 4 rx7's I have....

The grass is a temporary parking place until I get around to moving the 2 in the driveway for this one to sit.

Also scored a free steering rack from work. No idea what's it came off of yet.

Finally received my t2 brake caliper adapters! I pulled one FC caliper apart so far, but have yet to finish cleaning and painting them.

This winter thing can go anytime now! I want to work on my car pretty badly, but it's sitting out in the snow sadly.

Here is my newly acquired t2 brake caliper brackets.

Now all I need is pads, rotors, and braided brake lines to get the front end to roll/stop. Then I will have to start on the rear!

Well it's starting to warm up! I was a little motivated to do some things. I started taking the body kit off the parts car for mine.

I need to get under the hood and get some parts ordered to finish up the fuel system and cooling system.

craaaazzy Mar 19, 2015 07:52 PM

I don't know how u find these deals either! Maybe I should tell myself that I'm lucky not to find these deals as I have not room for them anyway.
