On my way home the engine lost all power. I finally have gotten it home and am working on what's wrong. I ended up getting it started but it sounded shitty. It's obviously missing spark or has a major vacuum leak some where. If the engine is seized it will be sent back to RPM in Ontario to be rebuilt. The car was putting down close to about 300rwhp before the engine started running like ***!

The whole body is on it's way to being sanded down and will be repainted. Brother wrecked the front end this winter..Colour is not decided on yet.

So what's to be put on...

Aluminum hood
New Head lights
KYB AGX struts with a progressive spring
Camber Plates
Sublinks & Bushings
Different Canister
JDM Front lip
All new body parts including painting trim
GTX seats and removal of the 2+2 Seats
FMIC
SAFC
Wide Band
Boost controller
Tie Rod Spacers or steering angle kit












I'm sure there is a lot more but these are the major things i need to get done first!
Let me know what you guys think and any suggestions you may have!

And the project begins

FCGTX

So today's progress
Removed the Fender which took a long freakin time and i never want to remove another rx-7 fender AGAIN!! :x
Took out the rad
Removed most of the interior and the mirrors/body trim/
tail lights removed
bumper is just about off
Intake manifold, Power steering, wiring harness, radiator, injector rail and miscellaneous amount of parts removed








Engine is almost ready to come out. Oil cooler lines have to be taken off, bel housings to the transmission, and motor mounts and then the engine is pretty much ready to be pulled and sent away.
Body wise the car is on it's way to start being sanded and getting closer to paint!!

FCGTX

So finally the engine is out. Now just to send it back to RPM in Ontario to have the cracked irons replaced.
As for the rest of the car i can finally start cleaning it up, finish off the interior, and start sanding the car for paint!!

FCGTX

More progress! Should be ready for paint in no time!

FCGTX

Got a little more prep done today.. everything is quite a bit smoother now.
Also got the front suspension out!
I decided that the colour i am going with is a Pearl Red seen on the RX-8's with a royal clear blue clear coat! 8) It should be rather sexy when its done !!

Yeah Chris, the car is looking wicked! Holy thats alot of work re-doing body work on a car.
I did get the motor last week and I'll have it torn down either tomorrow or Tues.

FCGTX

K thanks man.. I need it back asap cuz im missing out on a LOT right now
Call me tomorrow
306 651 2521 and let me know how its coming, what happened etc..

And yes it has been a lot of work!

PS i need MOTOR MOUNTS!

FCGTX

Body work done. Gets Painted 27A paint on June 18th 2007. It will end up being the same colour as the Pearl Red RX-8. I'm damn excited. Got my Side Skirts and FC GTX front lip for it too!
Now i just need tmy engine back!

FCGTX

So after a long wait i have finally got my car back and painted today! It looks awesome Minus a few minor flaws but im not overly upset with it as it's tiny stuff only i would notice since i did the whole prep on the car.
Also got my engine back today. Hoping to have it all in and running by Sunday.
After that it should all be compeltely 99% done next week!!
Pics!














It's hard to see the true colour of the car when it isn't in the sun as it reflects gold out of the paint when its clean and in the sun light! The paint is still too new and i want it to cure a bit more before i go and wash it so sometime later this week.

More pics of it back together to come, and i will give a break down of my crazy rotary build
