yeah, if you wouldnt mind finding me the number that would be great, thanks alot.

 

pm'd you

 

O man Saint, I LOVE your FD. What are the specs on it? Year, mods, and the like. Yours is by far my favorite one in the city. Btw, you take awesome pictures.

 

93
Stock
Not fast

 

i was wondering where do you guys go to drive your rx7's to there limits because i know there is that drag strip in gimli but is there any good windy roads or autocross events that ever happen?

 

Auto-x at RRX grounds,
Track days at Gimli motorsports park,

and
Late nights in deserted industrial areas when the above arent available.

You've got a few options in the summer!

 

My rims are all cracked so I need new ones
Anyone got some for sale?

They need to be +32 or +38
6.5" or 7", preferably 15"
Thanks

 

wow haven't been on here in awhile, i think next summer all us rx7 guys should do a photoshoot together

 

Hahaha. A photo shoot would be sweet. I call front row, center. Lol.

 

Hey guys , I picked up a complete RX4 13B engine to play with . I want to tear it down over xmas and through the winter .

anyone have an engine stand adapter for the block I can borrow or buy off you ?

If not I may order one from Atkins in the states . Also need a 54 mm or 2 1/8" flywheel socket . I understand sears may the place to get this .

 

Hey SAINT , noticed on forum page bottom its HAPPY BIRTHDAY day to you . have a good one

so do you get fewer xmas presents because your birth date ??

 

haha thanks.

Yeah, not much for gifts this year. But normally gifts do suffer. I just treat myself and buy whatever I want. Spent too much money this year.

poor FD is being neglected however for now

 

Well, finally posting a pic of mine, back in the summer completely stock.

 

than I rebuilt it and Brennan is still beating on that motor with some serious HP going to the back tires.pat myself on back. but i am not in winnipeg nor fixing 7's anymore

 

im guessing you dont have a 20b in there, or is that Eric with a new account. if it is u Eric, how the hell have you been.

 

Nope, that's not Eric. Lol.

 

Anyone have any projects going on your car or related things ?

I have two . I am tearing down and hopefully rebuilding a 1974 RX4 13B engine I picked up for $75 to play with . I may put it in the '79 if it works out . This would be my first attempt at doing anything like this .

Also building a plastic model of my '79 and taking the time to try and get it painted to match the detail as close as possible to the real car .

Heres a few pics of the 13B teardown and the model . The teardown has only finished getting all the peripherals off and the flywheel and front pulley and plate off . Needed to buy a huge flywheel socket form sears for the flywheel ( 21/8 inches) . Check out the block heater that came out of the block . Must have been a local car . I think it came from an RX4 wagon.

Also , for painting the model , check out the "spray booth" in the garage made from a shop vac box and some pape clips to hang the pieces from . It was in there for primer and heat bake from a 1500 watt halogen lamp form pricess auto . Kind of necessary with the temperatures this month.

 

I would be willing to bet that the motor you got is a boat anchor. Not trying to kill your fun, I have torn down more than a few and when they look like that and are that old, chances are its junk.

 

yea , no problem . I bought it with low expectations . I really wanted some cheap practice at tearing one apart before I do the stock engine in my '79 . If it was rebuildable it was a bonus .

I see you have a repu for sale ..... how would we get it to winnipeg if I was interested ? Can you send me some pictures ?

 

yeah I do, It still has manitoba plates on it actually. I will find some pics, thee are some on this site. There are also a few peggers that have seen it in person. Getting it to winnipeg would be not to hard, either transport or fly out here and tow it back. When I bought it, I drove to seattle and towed it back to winnipeg, than drove it out here when I moved here.

 

Just up until the other day I had no idea there was even such a thing as a rotary truck. I ended up finding this old repair manual from 1978 that like covers everything you need to know about repairing it from small things to a complete rebuild , if you do end up getting it, just let me know and I could lend it to you.

on another not, canaffordit, no I am not eric, and there is no 20b in it, just pretty much all stock. My name is from when I was planning a 20b build, but it didnt end up working out, so I found the 7 I currently have, and couldnt be happier. I dont find myself wishing I had a 20b either, the 13b is enough for me.

 

Hey brotha how's it going.. once I heard the repu I knew who it was straight away.
And the truck is very nicely done, I can't believe your selling it.

 

i dont want to, but I dont have the time , space or money to do what I want to do. And I dont forsee anything changing for a few years, so i have to let her go. I just wish someone would buy her on here.

How have things been going Dave? I have seen some updates on your FD, looks deadly man!!

 

Hey everyone
I would really appreciate it if you could help me out on this
My '85 RX-7 was an autopack writeoff
I need a few things for it and I've been having problems finding some of the stuff
I can't seem to find any 4x110 rims
And the only lower control arms I can find are off ebay for $60
Any of you guys got some spares or know of someone with some parts?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

the 4x110 rims are real hard to find .

FRED has a bunch of old 7's in his back yard and may be able to help you. You have to go down to his place and ask for him . I don't have a phone number . He lives on west side of Pembina just south of the st. Norbert arena . Its a white building with a store front that used to be an ice cream shop ( "cream" on side of building ) go in the back wood gate and knock on the house door to find him.

there were also some on usedwinnipeg.com a few weeks ago . They may not have sold and the ad just run out . see if you can get a number for any old listings ?

I guy work with may have one , I pm'd you his number, name is Darin

ebay is your other best bet
