Saw a similar thread like this one so thought Id start a more local one. Last night I removed the tails, taped, smoked em out for that retro look. It came out better than I thought it would! Put em back on so heres some pics......

 

bump! Nobody works on their cars? I highly doubt that!

 

i worked 8 hours in the rain last night, also stripped down my 13b-rew that I just got

 

Uh... I got a second set of floor mats.... cleaned em up real nice....

I have some major Polished jewelry to put on my car this winter (UIM, LIM, Y-pipe with a proper BOV), some motor mounts, and looking at Powerflex'ing my whole suspension... Why do it while you can still drive it. Saving the big projects for the winter

 

Nothing is broken, so no need for any work on any of the RX's .

 

Just got some NGK platinum plugs installed on the TII and some new wires as well. Took her for a test drive around town to get some Monster energy when I came across a 3000Gt mean muggin hard so I had to show him whats up. He didnt want any! Ha thats what I thought

 

My car is in the shop getting tuned (shook motorsports in rockford) after I replaced my motor with 2slow4stock's motor (my last one exploded on the very same dyno this one is getting tuned on). If all goes well I will get my car back on saturday or sunday and she will live again after over a year of down time! yea!

or it will explode in a spectacular fireball of failure once again... but I really hope that doesn't happen lol.

 

Currently waiting on parts for my Fc, finally decided to put in a turbo after 5 years of ownership. My Fd is ready for a total rebuild as well. Wish I had more money to play with but I know I'll finish eventually

 

change oil lol does any body know were i can get bridge port done

 

wooooo! I got my car back on Sunday and it works!

so that's one more FC on the road, and man does it feel good.
I changed the wiper blades and put about 2 hours troubleshooting my stupid CD player. apparently it developed a short somewhere... I'll figure it out later. For now I can live without a radio.

I've had work done at both shops and they are good places and won't rip you off. They are also both well respected members of the rotary community... and as local as you're gonna get.

 

I fixed the previous owners blunders and got it runnin!! gotta get the headlights workin but it runs and drives now. Cant complain for 220 bucks.

 

If that was his most recent motor, part of my old motor is in his motor, which is now your motor. lol



On topic, I put the TII away for the winter, and am starting to tear it apart for some polishing and will be perfecting streetability this winter.

 

Got closer to finishing my engine installation. It's a long process when you only have two hours at school to do it ...

 

just tore out my M2 Meduim SMIC and M2 Carbon Airbox intake for an Apexi GT Spec Front Mount, the Apexi Intake and and a Greddy Profec B Boost Controller.

I also have ported and polished UIM, LIM, Thermostat and Alternator Housings to put on. Gonna tear everything down this winter and get busy. Hopefully these cooler Air Temps will yield me a few extra HP.

 

Designed a new exhaust manifold, and work on the widebody continues...

 

Ha! it was in fact his most recent motor, always good to know the history of your parts.

I just finished installing the front half of my energy suspension bushings. man, it's night and day, the front is so tight, and the back is a sloppy *****. I can't wait for my rear subframe mounts to come in so I can do the back.

Friggan MMR man... They have good prices but I ordered those mounts on November 17th...

 

Nice they look good

 

So the vert had a engine fire due to a short in the ACV valve wires. I had a leaking upper radiator cap which dripped onto the wires. Luckily I caught it in time and put it out. Just changed out the ACV today since we have this nice weather. Here's a photo of the old one......

 

On Tuesday I spliced/soldered in some ground wire at the ECU to fix my 3800 RPM hesitation. So far so good!!!!!
On wednesday I installed a new shift **** from Level Zero Motorsports!

Next on the list is
1) my shortshifter from mazdatrix
2) replace the throwout bearing (I have a exedy clutch kit so Im debating on replacing that too)
3) front u-joint is bad, so a new driveshaft is going to be needed

thats it for now

 

Well... It all started with a perfectly working car. Under the hood, it used to look like this:



And then with the help of a few friends, I decided that my winter plans would involve installing this for better intake temps: Apexi GT Spec FMIC FTW with the Apexi Intakes




Well, quickly the project expanded. I bought a set of BNR stage 3s



I then realized I should reseal the OilPan and replace my motor mounts:





WHile I had everything apart.... why not polish the Waterpump Housing, UIM, LIM, TB, etc.





And Finally, A CJ Motorsports Fuel Rail with ID2200s and 725... pictures to come. Time to reassemble




SO yeah.... just a bit of work all in my garage.

 

^Nice!

 

Just finished installing a new master cylinder for my clutch and slave as well. Was fairly simple to do but I needed an extra body to help me bleed it. Luckily my bro from stl was visiting.

 

 

I've been putting in online work searching for a rx7. Does that count?

 

Started piecing together my interior again. The other day I inspected my rear suspension from a previous TII swap. I think that counts
