Word! Let me know on that front clip. Mine is coming along nicely. As far as getting it running, all I'm missing is the engine, trans, and diff. The exterior is pretty much done and I will be painting soon. Interior is missing a few pieces, but I'll worry about those later. Then I'll need some wheels and I'm set! I hope to have this thing driving by summer.

Which ecu are you gonna use on your sister's engine? I think twins will make that FB the perfect street car.

Hayseed, those gauges look great.

 

I remember when me and Andy picked her up from you. I didnt think I would ever sell her. Here I thought it was going to a safe home because they guy already had a clean rx7. Funny part is he still goes around saying he fixed the car.

 

Yeah he says he was the one who fixed everything on the car. I wonder if that includes drilling the shine auto kit for a rivet fit? Haha.

 

I love those kinds of people...claiming your blood, sweat, busted knuckles and tears

Losers

 

Incoming large pictures and a very loud video. You've been warned:

Sounds angry

 

I'm sure your neighbors loved you haha

 

Ah I remember having an NA with an open header. I'm sure all of ABQ heard my *** the few days I had it like that.

Twins80s, what have you been up to since you sold the FC?

 

Word! kinda cool to see everyones car getting fixed up! I'm liking it. I've got an e6k, 720 secondaries and all my fuel stuff ready to go.

Sean I need to talk to you about those rails.

But this is how she sits. DIRTY. sorry haha, rest of the kit will go on for spring break when I get some time off of school.

Damn I haven't been on this forum in a while. But update on the fc, its still down. haven't found time to work on it but good news I have the motor out. RA apex seals, new o-ring kit, new turbo, new manifold, wastegate etc... But It's killing me seeing her just sit still in my garage =P

 

I have been trying to kill myself haha. I ended up trading the fc for a honda 600rr....Ya that guy got a hell of a deal. Had it all fixed up and then thought it was a good time to crash it back in November. What have you been up to man?

 

Brian, **** is lookin sexy! Hit me up when you want to get the rest of that kit on.

Manny, good to hear the FC is getting built back up. I miss the hell outta that car.


That sucks man... Glad you're alright. Bike crashes are like my biggest fear. Yea dude, that guy got a ******* deal on that car.
I'm still ****** with these cars. Sold the FC and started building up an FD roller. You ever plan on playing with rotaries again?

Lol, if you google slammed FC, your old car is one of the first ones to pop up.

 

all too familiar.

 

Anybody interested in helping me get this damn car running? Sean has been over and was super helpful but I know he's super busy. I'd be willing to pay what I can to have someone sort this car out with me, if that doesn't sound too desperate lol

 

I was gona say didnt your fc pop up on craigslist not to long ago? Id really like to get back into a rx again. Even thought of selling the bike a few times. Sadly though I went and did something responsible. This is my new ride...

very boring....well its a little sporty for being slow

 

Oh damn!!! Haha there's nothing wrong with that. I've driven a few Fits and I may sound stupid, but they were actually kinda fun. I wouldn't mind flossin' one for a DD. They **** **** up when it comes to gas mileage and insurance.

 

Ya sure beats my old daily that was a v8 thunderbird. I get a solid 30+mpg(hardly ever get on the freeway) and full coverage is only $98 a month <3

 

I just got my caliper rebuild kits in, later 2day I am going to order hp pads and rotors(probably from tirerack). I put new tie rods on b/c the ones that were on it were chewed up from the owner before me, using a pipe wrench to adjust them. I need to dial in the front just a little bit. I cant wait to meet up and race again! hopefully I will be able to make it to all the events this season!

Which pads are you planning to buy? I've got the HP+'s front/rear on my car and feel like they are a little too aggressive for autocross. They don't quite have the modulation I'd like, probably due to the car being so light.

My next set will probably be HPS'.

 

Steve, I am looking at the hp plus pads but they are not in stock so I am waiting for a call back, maybe I should get the ones right below the hp plus, I think the hp plus ones say track/autocross and the other ones are street/track. I dont drive the car much so, mayb i should look at ebc green pads or some other ones? What pads have u used so far on urs? I ordered rotors (poweslot) already, I think they will work fine? I hope.

 

Well guys I am going to the dark side. Was pulling the motor out of my FD (blew rear seal) when my uncle called me with a hook up on a ls1 with a t56. So guys my days with a rotary are over. I will post all my parts for sale in the classifieds so don't hit me up right now for parts. I'll keep everyone updated on the build and how it goes.

 

Just ran into a new FD rx7 owner in Rio Rancho and pointed him our way. Hopefully he will create an account and find us. He was asking for recomendations for a mechanic. I told him to ask you guys since I do all my own work. He said he drove it here from Florida with only one sleep stopever. Sounds like he will fit in just fine with us idiots!

 

I have no experience with EBC's as I only run Hawk pads on both the Rx7 and my DD. I feel like the HP+'s are good for a car that does more tracking with some autocross while the HPS are geared more towards a car that does strictly autocross/very few track days.

Rotors - Should be fine. Make sure the break in your pads properly by following the Hawk instructions.

What kind of brake fluid are you running?

I'm interested in stopping by and checking it out once you get this swap underway.. Would like to eventually do one myself!

 

our empire is growing soon well take over the world!!!

 

Interesting, I'm looking for a drivetrain

Good luck with the build.
