Barthonlewis2jz

How's everyone doing. My name is Barthon Lewis. I'm originally from NJ but I'm currently in school finishing my final semester towards my degree in Finance. Enough about me, now to the rx7.

I purchased this project a little over a month ago. I bought it with the attentions of saving it from it previous stage. When I got it, it already had the 2jz swap “barely”. Every weld on the car was horrible and when I say horrible that is a understatement. The shifter extension was brazed and tapped together which was causing it not to go into certain gears, the turbo that it had on it was a piece of crap so it smoked under boost and would not hold boost, it had a synaspe 2 bolt wastegate bolted onto a 4 bolt flange, The driveshaft was 1.25 inches to short, and it was leaking oil from many different places. To make a long story short the car was crap before I got my hands on it!! I took the time to redo everything the right way, the only thing left to do is to get the car painted and throw some nice wheels on it.

List of things I’ve did over the past month
• I had a new mount kit fabricated, which sits the motor as far back and low as possible.
• I also Installed a full Greddy t88 33d turbo setup with
• 50mm wastegate.
• OSgiken Twin Disc Clutch
• Push pull conversion
• Map2ecu
• Dual walbro 255 fuel pumps
• Custom Slave Sylinder Rod
• New OEM Toyota Valve seals
• OEM Toyota Head Gasket
• 3an oil Feed line
• R1 front lip (not installed)
• Megan Street coilovers
• Installed bump steer correction kit
• A New driveshaft done (old one was a tad to short)
• New shifter extension
• Fresh R154 transmission (I only use redline mt 90 gear oil)
• New Oem slave
• Hawk brake pads and brembo rotors ALL AROUND

I just posted this to introduce myself and to let you guys know that the car was saved and finally given some long overdue attention. Now I just need some motivation to keep it.

What motivates you guys/girls to keep on going with your 7?

What makes you want to keep dropping cash in the car even though you know there is more important things you can be doing with you money?

SORRY FOR THE CRAPPY CELL PHONE PICS BUT HERE GOES A FEW.
here is a pic showing the new Trans mount I had made.

Damn im torn between the love of my rotary and that mean *** setup.

What motivates me is everytime I turn the key praying my car will start and she fires right up without a hiccup is inspiration enough

I love the Supra but IMO that engine should have stayed in a Supra and the 13brew should have stayed in the FD or if theres going to be an engine swap for an FD an r26b would be perfect
