I think you should invest in a good camera, what a shame to have such a cool build and poo photos....

 

Howi, I know im sorry man I just cant dish out like 200$ on a decent camera because of not a good income atm, all the money goes to the fc hahah :P ill try my best though to find a camera

btw I will do a small update later today I shall ask my step dad if I can barrow his camera

Best regards Pat

 

Your Rising RPM photos are so much better than all the other photos LOL....

This is my personal camera. I honestly think it's the best camera in the world. With the X20 (next generation) out on the market, the X10 are really cheap now. They used to be $600.


It's basically a high-end point and shoot. These are some random sample photos I took:







Now imagine the photos you can take for your baby FC.

 

looking good!

 

Haha if I have the extra $$$$ ill definitely invest in a good camera! !

 

Hey guys sorry for no update in a long time... had a few things to do besides the fc but going hard at it now will update on a every day basis!!

What I have done since the last update.

-got a shop with a lift tools welders and all the goodies!!

- modded a mishimoto FD rad for the fc vmount

-got a rotisery for the fc from andrew cassidy (thanks again buddy)

Instead of buying a Camera,..why not "borrow a HOWI"???

Ron HOWI..produced RUSH...lol!

That camera is amazing..Your car is coming along too Pat..get er dun!

 

Haha howi is back in LA for work

And thanks buddy!!

 

Nice. Keep the posts up over winter! Will see the car next year

 

Thanks ian!!!! Hopefully next year but we shall see what the wonders might happen

 

Alright lets see the installed manifold photos! I am jumping on those S5 flanges next week too!

 

Hey turblown, yes of course I will take some photos of the manifold off the engine and on the engine no turbo yet but might pick up some tail mvs waste gates tomrrow!!! Awesome cant wait to get it umm the neck I will recieve can it face straight towards the front of the car?! That would work best for my custom v mount set up?! Also how do you like my build so far?!

Thanks turblown

 

I'm excited to see this car the most of all car builds across the few forums i'm on.

 

Thanks buddy!!!! By the way your 3 point sturt tower brace is still waiting here

 

Here is a pic for turblown 38mm tail watse gates!! Will need to order 17-18 psi springs, and modify the dumps to fit where I want em!!!!


Also what I am currently doing is grinding the uni frame to clean it up, mock up v mount rad support and primer it!!!

 

I told myself I will not spend any more money on my rx7. Even sold one. But it kills me to see shiny rotary parts. I like shiny parts. LOL Must collect......Turboblown manifold and turbo would just be so nice lol

 

Haha I just started!!! When you start you cant stop!!!

 

Small update!!! So had a few hours to spare so I went and worked on the fc!! Im modifing the rebar face plates with thicker stainless steel and will have a bolt on design tube re bar!!!. The plate is not welded on in the picture, just let it sit on the frame end to see how it fits, have to drill holes and weld nuts on the back before I can weld them on!!!!

Will hopefully post another update later on depending if I get some work done!!!

Thanks!

 

Hey guys small update!!!.

So I welded the new frame end plates on turned our great just have to clean them and primer it for now untill I get a pipe bender to do the front crash bar 0beam!

Also Im throwing the fc on a rotisery tomorrow just have to buy bolts to assemble it!! And after shes on the roller time to start cleaning and preping it for the cage!! (Thank you andrew cassidy for lending me the fc rotisery)


The picture with the hole in the pants is my leg that cought on fire lol... remember kids when cutting sh*t off dont aim the sparks towards anything flamable including your selves lol

Here are some pictures of the progress

Thanks for following my build guys

 

LOL on the pants leg!
I was grinding a seat rail and I couldn't figure out why my Big toe was hot.
Stuff flew onto my shoe and burnt right through..

Funny thing is,I have bought new part since that has happened....BUT I still wear the shoes,Daily!
I know where my priorities lay!

 

Hahaha that happend to me aswell but also on my chest haha I had my shirt tucked in and slag flew off and burnt through my work shirt and was just sizzeling on my chest lol got a nice scar form that!

 

Aleight guys I got a bit bigger of an uodate today. So I finally put the fc on the rotisery with my best pal joe from function racing/sigmatimeattack!. Gezz guys let me tell you this.. the chassis rotisery works great but had to modify alot of the mounting points in order for it to work for my fc. I made the front frame plates which I had to cut and reweld the mounting brackets, extend them and such for it to sit flush and sturdy!! Once again thank you Andrew cassidy for lending me the rotisery. So I was working on the fc till 3am on friday right after work, went home slept till 6 630am and went back to finish so yesterday me and joe start installing the fc on this cool tool and thinking and re engineering the rotisery to fit my fc chassis so we started at 5 pm 530 and finished the whole thing at 135am... crazy night of fabbing and making it work so now its time for bed goodnignt rx7 club and enjoy the journey of my time attack build!

Will post some awesome pics below

 

Heyooh rx7club,

Got a small update for you fellow rotor heads!!.

So I started removing the under coat and jesus its a killer.. best way to do it is torch, flat metal scraper and wire wheel to clean it off after!!

Also I worked on my rear areo, I cut out the back part of the 1/4 to make it flat so the wheel turbulence can escape through a custom diffuser I will be making, I looked at it 10000x before I started cutting stuff off and to me its honestly the best thing I can think of to reduce rear wheel drag!!

Let me know what you guys think

I will buy some diebond this week so I can make a rear wheel well diffuser.


Thank you guys

Beat regards Pat burdon / 13bbackfire

 

Wow That is a ton of work! THe cutting of the rear reminds me of this Japanese kit I saw on the forum once.
