Mikes 1988 Rx7 turbo 10th Anniversary build
 

This is my second rx7. Also my first sports car in the last 3 years. School was a priority for a while. I recently purchased a 31 000 Mile 88 10AE. It is in 9-9.5 / 10 condition inside and out. I have purchased a few goodies to instal in the spring. I have absolutely no desire to modify the engine in any way. I would like to keep this car clean and mostly stock.

Heres a list of what i've purchased for the car:

-Bonez superflow 2.5" system which i painted with Flameproof paint
-new clutch slave cylinder
-new rx7.com stainless brake lines
-new Mountain front/Brembo rear rotors
-new Hawk HPS pads front/rear
-new o2 sensor

Only other plans are:

-All 4 new v belts
-new coolant,oil(tranny,engine,rear end), brake fluid
-New tires
-rear pinion seal
-may start looking for an rtek 1.5 or 1.7 system w/ 720 cc secondaries. (PM me if you are selling)

Im just excited to get started. Enjoy a few part pics.

Awesome, can't wait to see more! I've been thinking of trying to find one of these.

Thanks. When the weather breaks I will get some fresh pics of the car with these mods taking place.

Very nice! Picking up the same car this weekend (which needs a little more work @ 102k), but you're giving me ideas on how to upgrade and stay stock :nod:

Can't wait to see more!

Thank you. I feel like its a very strong first batch of new parts to throw at it. If your car is anything like mine (also many others 2nd gens) also check:

-Rear diff seal
-trans output shaft seal
-shift knob spring
-Check to see if your reverse lights come on or not
-any oil leaks
-do the wipers work on every setting ( easy fix - you do not need to buy anything parts wise to fix this).

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info!

There are a lot of things that needs to be done (mostly wear items), but I may post a thread on the forums when I finally start work on her.

Brakes will be first! (Booster, master cylinder, and stainless lines.)

Just picked these up. They are Tokico Blue HPs with Racing Beat springs. These were installed on a car 2 years ago that was never put on the road. Only have a few around the block miles. He decided to go with coil overs so I picked these up. My parts collection is growing. Just waiting for the warm weather.

Hey found you on the Forum. Glad you are happy about tokico goodies, They are truly mint and you got a steal. ;)

You have a picture of this ani?

Enjoying the nice weather today. Was outside all day installing struts/springs, pads/rotors, and the SS brake lines.

Just wanted to add - I've got roughly 100kms on this strut/spring combo and could not be more impressed with how it handles. I read a couple reviews about it being too stiff. Not at all. Its perfect for the street.

I ripped the stock cats and mid pipe off the car yesterday. Installed the bonez turboflow system. What a difference! Now the car breaths much better. Revs much quicker and is fun to drive. Its sad the car is so choked out from the factory. It also gave the car a louder exhaust note even with stock mufflers.

Sorry to point this out, but your rims are reversed. L for Left.

Very Nice!

Wow good call. Didnt realize there was a L and R side for the wheels. I was told to put the rims where I did because of how the tires ended up balancing out. Least amount of weights to the front. I will switch them around.

THanks for the kind words as well.

The old Bologna slicers . Looking good man
