After fixing alota pits in the fiberglass i got my convertible primed wet sanded and ready to burn. (again lol)

jinxed4dub 05-20-10 11:22 PM

Got a OMP rebuild kit, and FD oil return gasket from pineapple to fix the rest of my oil leaks. Tried to keep traction in the rain well I kinda tried. eather way epic fail on traction :)

Edit forgot I still need to replace the pinion seal in the rear end, but thats just a little leak.

Nytrate 05-20-10 11:32 PM

Jacked up the 7, Removed the rear subframe, installed LSD Fuck the Open diff. pics will bein my build thread.

I fab'd a coolant drain petcock. Drained all my rusty water out of my coolant system, threw in some prestone coolant system cleaner + distilled water. Gunna run around with that for a while, then flush it, do it once more, then flush + put in some rust prohibitor. Then flush + fill with mostly distilled water, water wetter + a bit of coolant.


Still on the list - swap cat + stock DP for corksport exhaust, replace differential pinion seal, crush tube + pinion bearing. Not looking forward to that part....

tore the motor open, found a nut completely stuck in the front rotor:/ gunna clean and paint up the irons and housing in a bit, need solvent. then its just waitin on mazadatrix so i can put it all back together

ArmyOfOne 05-21-10 08:04 PM

Recieved all parts to complete the beast... well almost all. Still gotta build a header. Need pipe.

installer67 05-21-10 09:27 PM

Complete the beast!.....Complete the beast!.....Complete the beast!.....Complete the beast!.....

incubuseva 05-21-10 11:33 PM

Took another look at my cooling system. I'm still trying to figure out wtf is messed up with it....... I keep getting bubble in the system. I think the water is boiling when I drive (TONS of rust in there) then the bubble make an air pocket at the top. Before I start it I open up the rad cap + it always goes pshhhh, you can see the main hose shrink a bit too. Maybe time for a new, clean rad.

jinxed4dub 05-22-10 02:22 AM

banned dumb blondes from my car.... only smart ones from now on.

bboyclo 05-22-10 08:11 AM

tevan 05-22-10 11:47 AM

ArmyOfOne 05-22-10 12:12 PM

Lost the cherry to her cigarette, fell onto my oil rag. burnt a little interior behind the seat, car was filled with smoke so it kinda smells now (almost got it fixed) burnt the seat belt. My T2 was fairly nice, now I'm gonna have mismatched seat belts cause I needed it. I've already found a new carpet. I'm not happy. I really should broke out the rule of thumb and grabbed a switch.

I did make her vacuum the fire extinguisher dust all up and clean my car. I'm gonna catch her purse on fire. I'll vacuum it up. I've also dubbed her the "car bomber"

1MZFE 05-23-10 01:18 PM

Just swap the interior to be gray man. :p

installer67 05-23-10 03:27 PM

Well, after 3 days with a toothbrush and 5 gallon bucket of gasoline, I finally got the 13b 6 port clean enough to install. (except the oil pan) I'll do that tonight. Also used JB Weld and a couple dimes to plug the holes in my intake where I removed the port actuators.

Docroth 05-23-10 11:43 PM

Well This is my First what I did today to my RX7.. Met up with Installer67 to pay half of the Motor cost. Must say< very impressed. then went to the shop and took a look at all the other stuff I need to get ready for the motor swap. I want this to be a smooth deal.

ARotary14 05-24-10 07:33 AM

Picked up a KOYO with E-fan, Sniper Racing FMIC, and some coilovers!! Need some 720s so my wife will let me get some more stuff.....

yet to install- FMIC, KOYO, Coilovers, 1.7 Rtek, CF radio blank, Wideband.... Never enough time in a day....

tommys 05-24-10 07:09 PM

I got my SA up on jacks and ramps and pressure washed underneath...She is looking good for being over 30..

installer67 05-25-10 02:33 AM

Found a nice fuel leak from my new Mallory fuel pump. Probably been leaking since I installed it. LOL Just figured the gas smell was the typical FB perfume. But I got stuck sitting still for 15 minutes in a construction zone and started getting dizzy. Got her lined out now though. Also got my oil pan and dizzy cleaned up on the SE motor and installed my injector plug kit. Just gotta get the oil cooler lined out and I'm ready for the swap! Anyone know offhand where to get some fittings to convert the banjos on an fc cooler to AN fitting?

jinxed4dub 05-25-10 04:11 AM

Got the oil return sealed up. Hopfully I'm done with oil leaks, also rebuilt my OMP, but broke a banjo fitting (I always brake somthing!) so for now its pluged with a 12MM bolt, and I"m premixing. also replaced the batery leads, and added another ground to the front of the engine.

There is also some vibration near the center console around 1-3k. Ugh every time I do something to this car something breaks :wallbash:

Turns out one of the secondary fuel injectors wasn't plugged in the whole way.

lolwutcj 05-25-10 06:57 PM
