86 parts car to race car build
I picked up a 500 dollar parts car with intent of fixing it up into a fun car without much worry since the chassis was meant to be parted and scrapped. Came with a 5 lug conversion, engine that had over 100psi comp per side, pretty new struts, and a Koyo rad already installed.
Parts gathered: Microsquirt Innovate Wideband MTX-L 255LPH Fuel pump 1000cc EV14 injectors spare S4 UIM VSAero TKYO smooth Kit (I call it the knocket bunny) various missing parts here and there that needed replacing. Future plans: ITB setup using S4 uim after modding it to allow such mirrors widebody install rollcage racing seats More weight reduction electric power steering conversion refresh suspension replace sunroof replace awful wheels Full exhaust system Paint job Already done: Remove all bondo clean up rats nest delete leaky AC Install Megasquirt and wideband O2 gut interior minus sound deading install 255lph fuel pump DIY 2 stroke OMP conversion. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a8a832cd2a.jpg Been working on cleaning up the body, I found that it hid a ton of bondo. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7769171e46.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d35f0d35a1.jpg Weather is slowing me down on progress but will have updates when this rain stops. |
So a little update.
Got most of the kit onto the car, fitment wasn't awful, but since I had damage on the passenger side it still needs tweaked. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...48b448c5b9.jpg The engine, I decided to take a different route. Got myself a deal on a 13b that was in a running SA with a cartech turbo kit on it, so swaping a blow through carbed setup into my FC.The SA went to a good home and will be getting a 12a put back in. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b8e508dd6f.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...082401f37b.jpg I may eventually swap over to EFI as I will be using microsquirt to control ignition and swapping the carbs out for an TB setup once budget allows. |
