thanks che. i saw that you picked up that red widebody, start a build thread on that cause i'd like to see what you do to it (all your cars are all very clean!).
i never liked the look of the front end of my car. something was off. based on marco's recommendation, i painted the molding on the front bumper with plastidip to see how it would look. if i didn't like it, i could easily peel it off. i think it looks better now. what do u guys think? https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-U...hoto%25201.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-P...hoto%25202.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-n...hoto%25203.JPG Btw i like the bumper with the black trim. |
Awesome. Stay safe.

no big update really. made a bracket to hold the license plate light. also changed oil after my 500 mile motor break-in so am now able to go to 7.5k rpm's safely...let me tell u...i did not know about the damn buzzer at the higher rpm's, scared the hell out of me!
did go to the local caffeine and octane monthly meet and parked next to the sweetest RX3 in the US (my opinion). Attachment 683379 http://g54b.com/IA/caff2-3/caffeine-octane-feb3-111.jpg |
nothing done to the car, just sits in the garage but i did get the chance to drive her this past weekend. it is for sale though so if anyone is interested, let me know. thanks.

I'm surprised I have not gotten any interest in my widebody as it would cost a whole lot more to get to this level. I have seen other fb's selling for not that much less but not so much things being updated/replaced/restored...though i will say that there are less widebody buyers. Oh well, if it doesn't sell, just means I get to keep it. |
since i haven't received any real offers on the widebody, i've decided to start working on the REW motor. here's the motor after cleaning it up a bit. have also ordered some flanges and fittings to figure out the turbo oil drain using a 12A front cover.

What are you planning on doing with your old motor?
|
the gsl-se motor will be put up for sale when i complete this install. it'll be a few months as i don't plan on rushing. it won't be cheap though as it's got new housings and bearings...u may as well buy my other REW that's here. ;)
|
received the fittings and flanges.
also started going through the REW harness, labeled all needed plugs as well as verified each plug's wiring back to the two main plugs to the ECU. picked up some things to replace brittle and old harness covering/tape. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-s...hoto%25201.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f...hoto%25202.JPG |
Are u planning on running the stock ecu. I'm going with a micro tech on myn
|
i'll be using a PowerFC.
drilled the front cover w/ the 1 1/8 hole saw bit. came out a bit larger than i wanted, should have bought the 1 inch one but welder should have no issues. |
So I'm guessing your using the rew front cover and making a cradle for the mounts. ?

I did not know that the cas from the second gen would work with the power fc lol but yeah I'm goin with a microtech in my 79 just to make this all easy for my situation
|
Trying to keep it as simple as possible and I thought the PFC was the best since it should be plug and play...unfortunately, I will need to wire in plugs 1 and 2 since those are not on the engine harness. I probably could have chosen something else but am not familiar with the other ECU's other than AEM.
|
I just did I microtech on a 20b I don't think it can get much easier came with the harness just terminated it and fired the car up
|
That easy? Wow. Oh well, already got PFC and figured out most of the wiring on paper, just need to do it.
|
Yeah it comes with an unterminated and harness all labeled I'll put up some pics when I get to myn
|
|
Hey what tranny u running
|
S4 TII 5 speed
|
got my rx8 front cover gasket as well as oil seal from Atkins. trimmed the front cover gasket of the extra material not needed and installed the new oil seal. also painted the front cover. same paint will be used for the intake manifold.
