thanks for the complements everyone. The last autox of the season was today and i co drove a buddys miata turbo, so much fun ! i was within a half a second of the owner :) i also won the costume contest and got my entry fee back. Next season will be about getting rid of as much understeer as possible and dialing in my handling.

I wouldn't trust Atkins as far as I could throw him and from what Mr. Drummond (The only certified rotary engine builder for formula Mazda) says Racing Beat's template is all wrong.

It has been a long time since i updated this thread. I tried to remember everything i have done to the car since the last update. I added a super nice set of GC camber plates, cusco front and rear strutbars and a lower arm brace. I also picked up a cool old momo wood wheel from a friend. If I think of any more mods i will be sure to add them later. Basically since i joined the military the car has been in storage and driven occasionally on nice days. I bought a miata to DD, now have the funds and desire to get the old rx7 where I want it to be.

The first step was dropping the rear diff to find out where a hellacious clunk was coming from and to replace a wheel bearing. Well.... turns out i replaced everything in sight while i had it out.
- MS R diff mounts - MS f diff mount - new wheel bearings and seals - new mazdaspeed dtss eliminator - new prothane C arm bushings - painted everything and POR 15 the Diff - installed a pinion snubber - urethane filled subframe mounts Attachment 638340 Attachment 638341 Attachment 638342 http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/u...psb1eb6307.jpg Attachment 638343 |

Update! I have been terrible at updating my build thread but I wanted to document everything before I start forgetting what I have done.
Engine: - I bought a haltech PS1000 and had the harness built by LMS-EFI. - Mounted the haltech in the stock location using the factory brackets - Made a new intake (ugly MAF is gone!) - Installed Aeromotive FPR, fuel injectors cleaned, new fuel filter, new walbro 255hp - S5 TB with TPS - New A/C compressor - Dyno tuned by Jacob Cartmill made 292whp and 240wtq (pretty good for a complete odd ball turbo!)

The rx7 is probably about to come out of her winter slumber. I worked this winter on making a radio delete panel that also functions as a tablet mount. I spent too much time on it but I am really pleased with how it turned out. I really wanted to get an eye on my coolant temps, iat, and oil temps before I start running the car hard this season.
The inside of the car is really starting to look how I want it to. I will probably delete the boost gauge and install the wideband into the glove box for a clean look. I hope to install a lighter weight corksport exhaust that I got for a steal, as well as fixing some frame rail damage that a stupid towing company caused years ago.https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ed09f96cf0.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9d5b94be4b.jpg |
What size intercooler pipe you have going past the power steering pump? I'm trying to avoid getting rid or power steering cause I can't find a pipe that will give better figment than the one I have now.
