Initial D FC Build
 

Hello Everyone,
Yes,My name is Varian! ( Styx looked it up!It means the interchangeable one!)

I'm new to this forum but not new to the RX7, I've had mine for about 6 years now but it has not been running for the past 3 years, I'm now finally able to put in the time to build my car. The engine for now will be a stock N/A rebuild with plans for a turbo swap later, i just want to be able to drive my car again. Here are some pics. Looks rough now but give me some time.

Sorry Varian.Your Intro got temporarily Sidetracked.
Welcome to the Forum.

Thank you sir.

Im more of an fd guy, my i love me a nicely built fc!

yeah man, i love my FC but I'm also looking for an FD. Icant wait to be finished, i'll get it runing then comes the paint and wheels, it's going to be a tribute to Initial D's White FC with some of my own flavor thrown in, man i'm so excited.

Hey if you want a FD some one is selling one on craigslist for cheap because the motor blew. Check it out it's in the Albuquerque section. Anyway good luck with your FC. We have a good group of us in Albuquerque if you ever need help just post up in the mountain section also introduce yourself in the mountain section.

Cool, I'll check that out

Welcome man. I'm new to the forum and the RX7. Look forward to seeing your ride.

Welcome to the forum, best of luck getting the car running

Pictures
 

Here's some pics.

just realized I posted these already, next pics will be of engine tear down before sending rotor housings to goopy.

Right on man

Turbo Hood
 

I'm also looking for a turboII hood for a good price if any body knows of one please let me know.

New spoiler
 

My spoiler will be here tomorrow, i'll post some pics.

Hope you get her up and running soon

I'm working on it. I'm cleaning my shop out right now to have a clean room to build the engine. Hopefully I'll have some more pictures in a few days.

Initial D was my show! Loving the FC man. Hope its running again soon.

looks like a great project, best colour as well!

Side tracked
 

Hey guys, i got side tracked with repair jobs on a couple of our daily drivers. Ok so now back to the FC, so I'm about to start the tear down finally but have been doing alot of reading about apex seals, a long time ago i bout some RA classic seals and springs because I read some good things about them now I have been reading that they may not be good to use due to scoring the rotor housing walls, can anyone chime in on this, I have already been looking at stock seals or Atkins seals.

very nice

i like the color, good luck on the project!

Good Luck I'm new here too & it's my first time in a rotary so I really want to see how this build goes :)

Looks nice

Lookin good

nice clean rx7

Welcome, as far as rebuild it depends on who does it and parts used. check out rotaryresurrection.com he seems to have good pricing and i hear he does good work. is yours overheating, if so i would stop driving it until the issue is resoved.

I want to see the conclusion of this - I love Initial D myself.

well I hope to have it done by July hopefully and do some kind of shoot with it. Engine tear down continues this weekend then while some parts are out being machined I'll work on the body, I already have some of my decals made but I'm still trying to find the right wheels and a turbo hod at the right price.

cant wait for build pics

Update
 

Ok, so it's been a while since my last post, I've been really sick and needed to clean my space out to work on the car. since my last post I had some goodies show up as you can see by the pics. I'm trying to find the best way to take out the motor, so if anyone has any ideas let me know. Now that it's getting warmer i think I'll be doing alot of the work outside, I've also been trying to decide if I want to use the RA classic apex seals that I have been sitting on for the past 3 years or use Atkins seals so if anyone has an opinion let me know I'm also waiting on the breaker bar to remove the flywheel nut. I'm just going to do alot of cleaning and etc until I get the last couple of things in that i ordered including the new dash.

Nice s4!

Saw an FC
 

Ok so on monday night after leaving work i saw a sweet FC that I have never seen before almost exactly how i want mine to look. Seeing that FC really lit a fire under my A#$, its time to kick it into over drive.

I like your your FC project idea of the initial D. I hope to follow this one.

Been Sick
 

Ok, so I have been really sick and on top of that we had a really bad blizzard so no work done on the car. Now I'm back I had to move the car back to my house to continue the work engine is pretty much ready to come out just need to drop drive shaft and A/C bracket and it will be out, will post pics during and before.

Good luck with build. Looking forward to see it done
