https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...958ea7ebfa.jpg I replaced them with 3357 bulbs. I think i had them left over from when i changed the blinker bulbs in my wifes Tahoe. They get really hot, but i dont care. Definitely a noticable difference. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cbe0af956b.jpg |
I would say so . Look like 3157 bulbs . Good lil mod . That was quick on the reply with fancy pic with arrow and such lol how. You do that ?

You should have it: %windir%\system32\mspaint.exe Type this in the run box |
Decided to change the oil before the tune.
Bought some of that good good. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d5fb1f4b59.jpg |
Ditched the Innovate Wideband. Was giving me problems. Went with AEM X Series. so far so good.
Maxing out duty cycle on the stock 550 primaries. ID 1000s are on the way. 24x12x3 Intercooler on the way as well. Next on the list is ID1700s and AEM Water/Meth Kit. |
|
Picked up Stu Kelleys AN fuel tank cover. I drilled a hole in my stock one for the fuel pump wire when i didnt know any better. This one seals so tight, when i was tightening the 8 alan bolts provided, fuel siphoned up the return line and was leaking all over the top of my fuel tank. Very satisfied with this product.

Using expanding foam to seal the intercooler to the radiator.

Seriously I want you dog :)
Looks good. That original wiring just looked like a fire waiting to happen. |
Thanks brother.
Another $400 piece to the puzzle. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0f14e3e200.jpg |
Finally got around to mounting some tires on those Z32 wheels, well the rears anyways.
Went with Toyo Proxes R888 in 245/45/16. Love the width of the 8.5" wheel, while still being super light. Now, if i can just get rid of that hideous wheel gap.... https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cdcf8c5800.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...6f9ae56fcc.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...925b49fb5a.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...3471e87ba1.jpg |
Bought a bunch more stuff.

how thick is that aluminum tank cover plate? I'm curious why it needs to be that thick? great build btw.

It is that thick because those AN fittings need enough meat to seal properly.

Looks good!! but word to the wise make sure you use some high temp anti-seize on the edges of those front wheel hubs or they will weld them selves to the inside of the rotor!!!

I coat the whole bolt with anti-seize when I do suspension work. It keeps the metal sleeve in the bushing from rusting onto the bolt. If you've ever dealt with that, it's quite frustrating.
|
Since I flipped my oil cooler, I didn't like how low the 90* AN fitting was hanging. Purchased a banjo and bolt.

Forgot to post this a while back. Have this in as well as 4 ID1000s

Got her back together with the Z32 wheels installed. Unfortunately, 10mm spacers on the front weren't enough and theyre rubbing. :'(

Good thing you put those 3.25" front wheel studs in :)
I believe I have some 15mm spacers I don't need anymore. Let me know if you might want them. |

15mm should solve that. When I had that suspension setup I ran 17x9+25 wheels with 235/40/17 tires. No rub.

Did you end up doing anything water/meth injection wise?
Also, you might want to consider going a different route if you were going to use polyurethane throughout the rear subframe etc. I did that to my '86 gxl right after I bought it thinking I was making an improvement. I have since gone back through and removed all of it and replaced with adjustable heim joints and spherical bearings because the poly just binds and doesn't allow the suspension to move. Also it will inevitably start squeaking driving you crazy. Aluminum or delrin diff and subframe risers while replacing the front diff mount with the mazdaspeed competition piece finish things off nicely. On the wheel topic, I am running some 17x9 +25 wheels with 245/40/17 tires with a 10mm spacer up front and rolled the fenders since I did have it grab the lip once. I had to space them out otherwise the inner lip of the wheel would rub on my old coilovers. Not sure where you are rubbing but I'm assuming it's against the springs? I just got some 17x9 +24 wheels and 235/40/17 Nitto NT01s over the winter to prepare for track days this year. Hoping this setup fits a bit better but shouldn't have any issues since my 245s are working right now. Just food for thought and it lines up almost exactly with what LOF mentioned earlier. Cool build so far and I like how you are keeping it really simple and only replacing the parts you have to. Keep it goin'! |

Just gonna run the Twin Power with some 10.5 race plugs. Steve Kan will be doing my tune on the first, so i trust hell get rid of any hints of detonation with the timing maps. |
