the current engine comes out tomorrow. i will be sure to take plenty of pics!

 

i got the engine out without any major problems. i took a few pics and will post them in the morning.

 

engine is in the car. pics later today

 

here i was as of last night:

 

sweet! thanks for the pics - I'm a new 7 owner (89 convertible), and the pictures are helping me put together a lot of the comments and reading I've been doing (ie - never knew exactly where the primary injectors were until I saw your last picture). Beautiful car.

 

thank you! it's nearly complete now. i spent most of the day yesterday working on it. i forgot my camera inside but i can grab some more pics today when i finish the car up.

 

i got the engine swap complete last night and took the car on a 10 mile voyage. the car ran flawlessly the entire time. the idle is a little high at around 1300rpm but at this point i'm just happy it runs so well. i'll delve into the idle situation on wednesday when i have a day off. for now, here is a video of the running 10AE:

 

.................... dgrr

 

The idle looked fine in the video

 

yea, but as it warms up after you touch the accelerator, it increases to 1300rpm. i don't believe there is a vacuum leak as it runs too well. i'm thinking maybe a bad seal on the throttle body as adjusting the BACV has no impact on the idle down.

 

Where'd ya get that sunroof?

 

Maybe after touching the gas pedal, the cable binds a little and is holding it open. If you can you press the operating cam back, does the idle drop lower?

 

does every 10th AE come with those floor mats? mine doesnt.

my build thread is on RCC if interested. =)

 

OEM 10th AE

 

There OEM....BUT you can buy replicas on here. There is a vendor at a very good price.

 

to clarify some things, the sunroof is 10AE specific. it was an option on the 10AE to have a bronze moonroof. you could also get a smoke colored glass moonroof for a regular TII, but not the bronze tinted version as it was 10AE specific. i will take some pictures of the moonroof and post them up. it is a factory unit.

the floor mats are original 10AE floor mats. i bought them as an unopened set for a price that would make your eyeballs bulge. they are only in the car for special occasions and come out when the car is stored. i keep the mats in the house. every 10AE came with the "10AE" floor mats. the only accessory package was combo pack of the 10AE car cover, 10AE front mask, and the 10AE pillow car. i have the pillow car, but not the mask or car cover. i also have the original 10AE dealer brochure and i have a 10AE window sticker as well.

 

i tried manually closing it and it does nothing. i also adjusted the throttle stop back so that the stop was not touching the throttle body stop. i have no vacuum leaks that i know of. i will try messing with the BACV today and if need be will adjust the tps.

 

here's a picture of the engine bay from yesterday:



and a pic form today. took the car for a drive despite the rain. just wanted to drive it!:

 

Engine Bay is perfect. So clean.

 

thank you! i try to keep the car as original as possible

 

today i took my 10th Anniversary RX-7 to the new house that i just bought and took some pics of it. we get the keys in 10 days.









and one at the gas station for good measure:

 

Good pics! It dosnt look fogging(or like a house is on fire) in pics at all .

 

ok, here are some better pics that i took with my camera yesterday. the first series were taken with my cell phone. as soon as i get the chance i can take more with a more scenic backround.

 

 

I was looking at all of the pics and it looks like your 10AE does not have the gold tint windows I thought that all 10AE's have the tinted windows.
