After I sand down the piece smooth.
I then use my HF 6" buffer w/the HF White Polish Compound for aluminum.
I think it comes out pretty good for a weekend warrior.

Next time im at HF ill check out the "green rock" polish; or try to see what its called.

Glad to see your going to fix your turbo FB!!


Steve.

 

Did some drivers side engine bay cleaning and started removing/tucking the wiring harness

 

Well I changed my mind about wire tucking the harness. It really comes down to that I don't wanna pull off the fender.
So I'm just gonna remove what I don't need, rewrap and clean it up best I can.
Then rerun it in the stock location.

.

 

This wire tuck people talk about is a pain, lol I just extended my wires about 4' so they wont be all over engine bay then I ran from Passenger side to inside then loop to drive side and rerouted them by brake booster then down by original big harness ill post pictures , I been doing this for a dam week and finally last night i think I finished lol well 2 more little cable then ext another 2 cable and done. its looking real good.

 

^Sounds nice bro, can't wait to see it.

 

I'm currently thinking the same thing, especially after going through the hassle of putting back the stock main harness on my motor that's on the engine stand.

 

Yeah, I'm with you.
I really just wanna drive the car again and hope to have it ready for Deals Gap in April.
So I decided to just clean up the harness and put it back


.

 

I like how you got your fb back again. I have all 3 gens and drive my gslse all summer. Don't know what it is about the fb but I wish I had two. one stock and one turbo.

 

Yeah, I guess you can call it luck. I wish I would of never sold it in the first place.

Man, you have all three generations... that's awesome.
I stopped at two(rotaries) or I should say the wife stopped me at two.
FB's are great, I love the simplicity of then, and so much room in the engine bay.

Also a turbo FB is a fun car! Completely different than a FD.
Can't wait to have mine back together.

.

 

LOL in the same boat brother.
I agree with simplicity. Also, Ive owned all 3 generations, even had a t2 and a vert. I felt like the fb was more alive then the rest. It feels like a real drivers car. Which is why throughout the craziness of the past few years,with the passing of my brother, and deciding what the hell im to do with 5 rx7s at once, im back to solely building the FB.

 

No real updates, I'm still cleaning up the engine bay and wiring harness as I get alittle free time.

Found a old pic of her from April 2008, friends FB in front.
Check out the price of gas

Man I can't wait to drive her again!!




.

 

$2.13!!!

I paid $3.07 today which isn't too bad

 

Nah, that's not bad at all.

It's $3.19 here, a lot better than what it was($3.89)a couple of months ago.

 

Hows she coming along brother ? I'm always checking the build for updates ! Keep up the quality work !

 

Thanks for the interest man! but I'm sad to say that I have nothing really good to update.
Only thing I've done was clean up the stock harness and left it in its stock location.



I'm loving your build keep up the awesome work!! It keeps me motivated to get mine done


.

 

Goodies be showing up.....





.

 

lucky you! what set up is that? is it the old respeed one? i need to find one myself.

 

Yep, old Re speed rack. Owner is going 20b so I picked this up.

I have so much to do before DGRR 15, it's gonna be close.

Ah man, was hoping to see your car but there's always next year.

I'm really wanting to go in my FB this year but there's so much on my plate to get it ready.
IF not I'll be going in the 8 again.

Couple more goodies showed up...
