new member from Houston,tx
ok guys ive gotten heaps of info from this site over the years and im finally creating an account.
first rotary was a 88'gxl https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c81194ef6a.jpg 88'gxl was short lived was young and new to all this then i saved a little with insurance money and got this 10th anniversary thats gone through quite a bit of phases in the 3 years ive owned it https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...6346241cc4.jpg when i first brought her home 88/turbo2 first phase bringing her home https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...05bd25925f.jpg second phase painting her back to all white second phase painting it all white then hell happened and someone back into my car in the street and thats when things started really going downhill fast https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...08d7518495.jpg 88 10th anniversary https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...3c6b33a296.jpg the horror right when it was starting to look good but i didnt quit https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...891f75783d.jpg back to looking halfway decent again then turbo stuff started breaking https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8d081b5aed.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...337281b7b3.jpg right after more low but before blow https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9c857c47f2.jpg then i got an rx8 for some reason did stuff to it lower/exhaust/wheels/alarm/system it was supposed to be a fun comfy daily and then i blew the motor then the motor in the 10ae blew and i pinched my pennies for a new motor i ended up buying a half bridge short block from a buddy and saved for for supporting mods.walboro fuel pump/ greddy fmic /1680 secondary and 560 primary/ apexi pfc ecu /bnr stage 4 hybrid turbo etc etc. i pulled the old motor and put the short block in painted the engine bay etc.etc. got every thing together and couldnt get it to start worth a damn i could pull start it but it would fall on its face below 5k. ended up taking it to rotary performance thinking it was a bad basemap. turns out this"new" motor had 0 compression on two faces of the first rotor.so i had them take it apart in hopes it was a stuck seal from sitting for so long.turns out there was hell in that motor grooved and warped housings and irons.but in good news it had s5 turbo rotors and a nice act clutch and racing beat flywheel so that was a score...in a way.determined on that car not coming back unless i was driving it i grabbed my old motor as wheel as any housings and irons i had around. ended up with a motor with s5 rotors and na housing with the sleeves in lol and a new center iron. with everything said and done i spent a pretty penny but she finally came home to me after 11 months of me saving working and her out of commision https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...52da9fa880.jpg she was wating for me so the car makes about 250 rwhp on 7lbs of boost "im rounding up" my exhaust is still kind of stock so that limits my torque band and i don't have a boost controller to raise it up those are coming next how the car looks as of nowish https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9a159e13c6.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1321620c85.jpg stock bumper on thanks for reading ill be around -cristo |
