The glass sun roof is a great feature

 

you know, i really like it. i think it looks really nice on the car and being original with the bronze tinting only adds a small amount of rarity to the car.

 

i'm at 96,999...i'm just hesitant to roll it over, lol. but i'm sure i'll get out today and do it just to get it over with, lol.

 

picked up a new belt from the dealer the other day and m daughter and i installed it tonight:

Great project

 

So awesome! It's cool you and your daughter can enjoy it together, I hope to do the same when I have children

 

we have a blast, lol. i'm brainwashing her into loving the 7's she always wants to drive the 10AE...its hard telling her no but she'll get her turn when she's old enough to drive.

 

just figured i'd post pics from yesterday with the 10AE. got it out, drove it for a few and on the trip, the odometer turned to 97K miles.





just turned 97K:







all put away for the day:

 

i still havent seen it in person. maybe ill take a rid your way when the weather breaks

 

you're welcome out any time man!

 

i have those same shelves in my garage...it's amazing how much weight they will hold. there is a diff and pair of axles on one of them and they've been holding up great.

 

that shelf is amazing. i bought it from home depot last winter or the winter before for around $30..i think..maybe a little more.. but wither way, they are most impressive!!

 

yesterday i restored the air pump bracket and installed the air pump. i have to locate a good S4 TII acv for the still. i also picked up a new acv gasket and diaphram.

pics of the restored bracket and cleaned adjuster:

also picked up a new oil pan for my RX-8:

 

great project man! its coming along together nicely!

 

thanks! its been four years since i bought the car i've put less than 1000 miles on it..i think i need to drive it more..

 

damn you really saved that rx7 good job man

 

thank you. its getting there. trying to bring this car back to life has been a great deal of fun! its also cost me a good deal of money, lol. but its worth every penny.

 

put a few miles on the car yesterday and it seems to be running pretty well. will drive it more tomorrow and post some pics of my trip.

 

the next step this winter will be to get the car out of storage and back to the house. from ther ei need to replace the lower intake manifold. it has a jspec one on there now and i want to convert it back to usdm specs. while thats off, i plan to pull the turbo and send that out to be rebuilt.. i will provide plenty of pics when that project begins!

 

How's she doing?

 

doing well! i've had teh car out once this summer andthe smoking is getting a bit worse. there was some hesitation so i'm going to seafoam it.

the next step is to have the turbo rebuilt and when doing so, replace the lower intake manifold and gasket. currently i have a jspec lim on the engine as the engine is a jspec ebay special. i couldnt pass it up for $600. it runs well but the idle is high and i want the car 100% bone stock so the aspec manifold will have to go on

 

last weekend i had some rotary friends come up from southern ohio, so i decided to start the 10AE and pull it out. thought it was a good time to do so! here are a couple pics from my phone:

 

A 10th AE in the snow - looks awesome!

I love the builds and restora
tions that have extremely high OEM parts content. Yes, it can be expensive, but brand new parts and making the car look like it did over 20 years ago makes these cars look fantastic. I completely respect these projects and I wish there were more of them out there.

 

I never thought I would drool so much over a stock car. Your photos seem like really amazing brochure shots

I seriously cringed at the initial photos but you've done amazing work here. It is so cool to see such dedication and progress.

You make me proud of rotary owners and give me hope for my efforts! Thank you so much for sharing!
