Chopstix and Hand Grenades
Spring is in the air and it's almost time to hit the track! With the car pretty much done, I figured I might as well backtrack a little and share with the Internet, as so far it's *been pretty behind the shadows, mostly because I've been too lazy to take the time to list everything we've done.
90 Mazda Rx7 GXL with 65,xxx miles on clean, rust-free shell 96 2jz-ge from 96 SC300 Gutted, sanded, painted interior Relocated battery to rear Did EGR delete and trac delete Replaced brake pads, some lines *and calipers on all 4 corners W58 trans, ACT clutch kit, stock machined flywheel Bought and installed power steering pump and brackets Got used alternator from sc400 Pre-wired body harness for ECU, prepped engine harness ran engine harness power taps Repaired ignition wiring, starter wiring, alternator wiring. Bought new motor mount bracket, motor mounts Test fit motor, cut old mounts out, make new mounts and weld in, modify to fit Welded up firewall and modified rain gutter to fit motor Installed motor Installed new slave cyl and line Make and install trans mount, bought new rubber trans mount Ran and mated engine harness Made custom throttle cable mount Bought and installed hydraulic e-brake (Powered by Max) Bought and installed shifter Bought and installed ignitor Bought and installed correct maf Plumbed power steering Bought and installed radiator from Summit Racing and made custom radiator hoses Bought used electric fan and controller and mounted Bought drive shafts and had one custom drive shaft made by Rockford drive line Bought and installed OBX header and mid-pipe Replaced spark plugs Bought and installed custom intake piping & filter Replaced defective/incorrect (OBDI) ECU Installed dash, made custom gauge mounts Bought and installed Autometer tach, water temp and oil pressure gauges and senders Bought and installed integra seats and welded in custom mounting points Fabricated and Installed custom axle-back exhaust (not great) Welded diff, went through rear subframe and control arms and cleaned an painted Got headlight openers working Bought hood and cut hole to fit motor and installed hood scoop Installed Powered by Max coils Installed 3rd (rear) O2 sensor and wired to ECU Found wiring diagram and corrected several un-powered ECU circuits for OBDII Installed used correct alternator – sc400 one did not line up correctly Purchased used tires to fit 17” Mustang rims Re-did custom exhaust and installed Corksport axle-back exhaust (much better) installed Walbro 255lph fuel pump, fuel filter, dist cap and rotor (rotor was fried) Fixed rear hatch hydraulics so no more driving around with a stick to prop it open Replaced brake booster and master cyl. Booster was full of mud, which apparently had been causing some serious dragging of the brakes Sport Edition 17x7.5 wheels all around, now rattle canned white (deal with it). Look like te37 knockoffs, but they're basically a house brand of kosei that tirerack sells New windshield from autolite New, stronger trans mount made Grip Royal steering wheel Takata harness I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting a lot here, but for now that's what I got. Mind you this is all out of our little two car garage, just me and my dad, doing our first car build ever. My dad is a brilliant guy and I can't thank him enough for not only supporting this project, but for diving in head-first *and taking on some of the hardest challenges. I also have to thank my pal Rich who is a supra dude (lol) and chimed in too with his plethor of knowledge. I have a couple short YouTube clips using my gopro, and a few pics I have at hand, I'd have to dig further to find all the old build pics |
Ill get some pics here shortly, gotta move things around
