gentlemen (and ladies) meet Mr Peepers
 

Mr Peepers has been my little ongoing project, i'm probably averaging about an hour a week on it, which would have made a buildup thread really lame. but since Mr Peepers has made noises, progress should, um progress!

the back story:

a few years ago i traded an FC for my friends old Pro7 car. he had gotten it in trade from the mazda recyclery up in sacramento, they finished it up, and went to a couple track days (last one was july of 02?) and then he put it up in the rafters, literally

i then happened to aquire a set of NEW x casting irons that had factory filled ports, and a pair of custom but really low mile 12A PP rotor housings. christmas bonus for 2007 were a pair of brand new n225 rotors, and e shaft. i thought all of these parts would rather compliment the hardened stat gears and comp oil pump i bought in 1996, and they did!

in late 2008 i cleaned up and measured EVERYTHING and sent it to Glen at Arizona Rotary rockets, for a balance job. Glen works for paul yaw, so he's the man when it comes to this kind of thing. i work for paul ko, we do compare pauls.

when i got it all back (60lbs of crap!) i put it together with a mazda comp baffle plate and oil pan. oil pan is HUGE and it was only $67 or something. i rebuilt a gsl-se trans and a 48ida for it too. anyways i put it in the car, and then it sat for about a year, due to lack of intake manifolding.

in maybe april of this year we finally went and bought some aluminum, and made an intake. in the meantime, i started working on the car, as i had no wiring, no shocks, etc etc. car got new illumina's, with the mr2 inserts in the front. we also upgraded the camber plates from the junk GC sold in 1997 to k2rd stuff. alvin scored me a stock wiring harness and stupidly i pulled it apart to remove the 3 wires i wasnt using. 9 months later its in the car, and working, i saved a whole half pound too!

so anyways thats about where i am now, engine starts right up, and i'm in the dialing phase.... so far it acts like a stock port its just loud...

anyways pics!

Jeepers, creepers, where'd you get those peepers?

oh yeah! Node came up with the name, cause when its too lean it goes BA! and i go PEEPERS NO!

Very cool, me likey, any idea how much hp it will make?

nope!

car is going to end up really light, so its gonna be fun, annnnnnd i'm shooting for a wider powerband WITH mufflers too.

factory says 260hp@9000rpm, glen says i can take it to 11k, which should be closer to 300hp

thats a sweet build! i like the look of the car! what year is the chassis? looks like an S2 maybe...

nice gotta love those webers

will it make it to sevenstock?

forgot that too! its an 82. when i got it it was updated to the 84-85 exterior/dash, and ive been putting it back. the idea is like stock, with sports kit

that's the plan stan but there are only like 7 weeks left, so time is short.

Nice housings. RX3?

i'm hoping i can get new axles and rear brakes and diff in b4 sevenstock...

the irons are MFR X castings, no idea

rotor housings would have started life as the 1881-10-100's rx2/3 74-75...

pulled the gas tank out to find its at least half full. since i started with like 1/4 tank, this means the PP engine actually puts gas in the tank, right?

lol go pp or go home. i would trade my z for that :)

correct, the pp actually fills up the tank every 6.022 years

Dude nasty! That's my dream- PP'd 1st gen. Love it!

[size big/] I DROVE IT TODAY!

pics and video or it didn't happen :D

would love to see it soon!

the world isn't ready.

I'm ready.

unfortunately car is ready for sevenstock, but tow vehicle isnt..... pics anyways...

thanks to zyrano for the decals....

moar!

Who needs a tow vehicle? PP road trip FTW.

you're welcome to take it... be a LOOONG HOT trip. although its not as loud in the car as you'd think standing outside
