BIG safety issue for everyone with a 1gn
so i thought i had a bad front right wheel bearing which i did, but the noise i was getting, sounded like a hundred kittens inside a drum spinning with hot razor blades inside, was actually a missing bolt on the brake caliper carrier, the weird little block that connects the actual caliper to the front hub, so i figured ok just came loose, but i had already bought all the parts to do all the brakes and bearings from pineapple anyways, so i had them do the front hubs. then recently i though i had a rear wheel bearing going out, and already had the parts paid for and on order so i started to tear everything apart on the car because today while i was driving it the noise from the rear wheel got so bad that i couldnt drive the car, wheel locked and couldnt really moved. so after driving the car almost half a mile in reverse to get it home and up on jack stands i found another one of those *@#$&%@*$# bolts missing on the rear carrier, so to everyone with a 1gn rx7 go out and check all you brake caliper carrier bolts to make sure that they ARE ALL STILL THERE. that is all

i will admit to paying only 400 bucks for the car when i got it, but it wasnt a project car. it was complete and we even got it to fire before we bought it. it just needed a tune up. i eventually did exhaust and intake on it anyways, and i am so happy to have my little 7 back again, yay. it also had full gsl se suspension and running gear on it. 199925 miles and counting
