what I didn't do to my RX-7 today is put oil it it got the major leak fixed. I'm not sure if its still leaking somewhere or theres some leftover oil still dripping off the crossmember. I've resealed prettymuch everything oil now. but I know that one of the bolts on the oilpan is broken off (since I did it) I hate 10 MM bolts I've broken 100's of them. but I doubt missing 1 bolt out of 30 would cause a leak.

but I'm not leaving a puddle everytime I park. it was going through a quart to quart and a half a day. so that was getting expensive.

 

Pulled all my upgrades off of my '90 GTU, pulled the ca18det out of it and rolled it into the driveway. Anyone need anything? It's about to get scrapped!

 

Getting started with the fuel system... not looking forward to dropping the fuel tank in the rain! lol. Good ole Washington I guess.

 

did the tb mod today.... running out of things to do. damn rebuild kit needs to get here.

 

Got stoked to finally drive my 91, and found out the trans is shot. Good thing I have a parts car! Should have that sucker in tomorrow if all goes well I might take it on a little test drive.

 

Bummer Robert, glad you have a spare!

 

still no oil loss! still have to premix though. I think my FCD is going bad. its old as hell. but my car feels like its starting to fuel cut every now and then and it seems to be at around 6 psi. but it will start hard then shake for half a second at 6 pounds then take off as the boost shoots to 10. it happens about once a day. started a few days back, I replaced the grounds thinking it was a voltage drop, I should check my plugs, but its always in boost. Always somthing with the T2.

Started the FB up for about 15 minutes and pissed off the girlfriends neighbors. that was fun.

 

Ya me too! How is that 13B coming along? Did you get that Dell fixed yet?

 

Workin on the 13b. Gettin close. Dellorto is temp fixed, but we'll see. Have a spare top on the way too, just in case. Picking up an S5 for the 280Z!!!!!!!!!!!( Boost Lee call me 265-3765 )

 

Modified Oil pressure block for front bearing lubrication.

 

dropped in the turbo motor but am having trouble trying to mount the transmission cross-member? And i still have to swap out the NA rear end for the turbo one as well.

 

i looked at it out the window

 

installed my new steering wheel but the wheels where turned and i thought they where straight but thats what i get for rushing things too dark to fix it now

 

Swapped to an RB aluminum flywheel and tested a couple of pressure plates the other day. I liked the way the centerforce feels best. Gotta drive it to tell for sure. Also an ACT performance street disc (should be grabby but still quite streetable)

Then threw on a "new old stock" FC waterpump and a new FB thermostat. I had to tap threads in the alt bracket hole to hold a 10mm x 1.5 bolt and slightly enlarge the hole in the bracket to allow the bolt to pass through, to make it work on a 1st gen engine.

 

Cursed it, going to let the paintless dent guy have some fun with it tomorrow....

Jinx, stop by tomorrow! I want to try and fry that deck muahahaha. lol

 

changed my burned seatbelt, now my interior is mismatched Still holding strong to no dumb blondes in the T2, but I did give her a ride to vaccum the crap out. but I didn't let her smoke within 20 feet of my car. Now she's not even allowed to look at it.

 

Removed fuel tank to add an AN-8 pickup for the new fuel system and replaced the clutch slave cylinder. Now back to the canvas to make some money I go.

 

isnt that a little much? lol

well gave the engine bay some much needed love. there was a lot of grease in there, although there still is a lot. ran outa degreaser. but i looks a LOT better now. still waiting on mazdatrix to get the damn motor in......

 

Opened the mailbox and saw that my shift **** was delivered.
But I can't put it on until I get my short shifter delivered and then installed.
Damnit Memorials Day! UPS doesn't deliver today .

 

shot a little semi gloss black on the 86.

 

DDv8... Looks great

Today I did a bit of work on the fuel tank. Should have it in tomorrow.

 

lets see i ordered new pillow ball bushings for the fd, and then i helped mazdaspeedemon replace his door in his fc

 

Finished plugging and blocking off all remaining vac and emissions on my lim, then installed. Finished cleaning up the water pump and housing and installed that as well as a new T-stat ans J-spec aluminum waterneck. Anyone know what size the little tube coming out the back of the water pump housing is? I need to plug and or block it too. The old one was leaking and rotten. I managed to get it out but totally mangled it in the process.

 

nope, She fucked my **** up, My cars are my 2nd most important possestions. I care about them both equally. I do realize it was on accedent but I don't need any more accedents. I'd rather not be replacing the interior, I'd rather be putting money into building it up. I want to get a suspention on both my cars asap, I'm getting Rtek next week, so I'm gonna be set for awhile as far as engine management goes, and I got almost all the problems my car had worked out. My FB needs it more, but the T2 has some warn parts that I'd like to upgrade.

It also might not of been on accident, You know how women are.

 

Started putting my subframe/ diff back in. Realzied I needed more shims for the pinion snubber so progress was halted yesterday. Hopefully will finish today
