looking nice! First time I have seen the entire car

are we still on for doing work this Friday ?

 

Thanks Aaron!

just for you mike

 

^ nice. i'd like to know what radiator was used and how it was mounted. did you mount it similar to 82streetracer https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...stuff-1011612/?

 

Looks bad *** bro mines gonna look similar.

 

i showed the mounting a few pages back. if you want any specific pics let me know.

 

my bad, i do remember seeing that now. nice and simple!

 

Well i have a nice little update. Took the car for a long drive up to seattle friday afternoon. Went to Aaron's (notveryhappyjack) place to help get his car up and running. Right now im at 800 miles on my engine, it is running really good and got almost 30mpg on the hwy driving there and back. did alot of tuning as well, my map is getting pretty good now. the car seems very responsive in most situations. Anywho the pics









Aaron stoked about his running car!

 

 

Tough stance on the white one. Posting so i can find later.

 

Nice photo shoot guys. Good to see 2 Turbo FBs together. Some day I'll be joining you all. Notsohappyjack looks pretty happy today.

 

Thanks!

Aarons car is very badass. It was really sweet to be able to help out getting it on the road again.

Aaron: thanks for the pics, i hope your car never has to suffer that much downtime again. Seattle was fun, we will have to do a little cruisin' around down here soon engough.

 

Dude you gotta clean yours! Lol! Damn white so hard to keep clean.

 

Not anymore

bye bye apex #2

idk what the hell is causing them to blow, my afr was 10.5 boost was only ~7psi and timing was good too. ******* pain is the ***.

 

Well, what else can it be? Seals?

 

idk yet, i left the car at my parents house because i dont plan to fix it right away this time. i spent way way too much money/time this year on it and its stupid that it just blows up everytime i hit boost. next year ill be back, but i wanna do it right this time and mill the rotors and get 3mm goopy seals or something. only time will tell. for now **** this ****, im out.

 

man, sorry to hear the bad luck. i say enjoy the upcoming holidays and then come back strong next year. good luck.

 

Thats pretty much my plan. i think im gunna swap to a different shell tho, prolly an 84 or 85 thats in better condition. my chassis is a piece of **** and id like a nicer starting point. My tenative goal right now is to have it up and running around tax return time. but this time im not gunna run it without meth injection, just in case.

 

Sucks man, sorry to hear you've had so many problems. What's up with your shell? Rusty or what?

 

yeah problems suck man, im hoping that ill find the source to it while i rebuild it. my shell has rusted out rear quarter panels and two big rusty dents near the sunroof. plus the whole inner wheel wells are rusted through and let water in the car while im driving. i know i could fix it, but i feel this is a proper time to get another shell which is easier and probably better in the long run. i also want an 84-85 so i can do the 5 lug swap more easily.

 

Well i think this may be the end to this build thread.....

Cause i bought an 85 gsl that is in much better shape than my car so im going to swap all my parts over and put the 13bt in it.
