ohh yeah yusterday, i installed the rest of the coilovers on my fc and installed the t2 rear diff and half shafts, and upon further inspection it would appear i should probably replace my rear wheel bearings, the driver rear is definitly shot!

 

pulled the whole rear end, subframe and diff, out and getting ready to swap in ANOTHER diff mount.

 

Changed the Oil, replaced my starter, fixed a leak in my rear hatch
Now to hunt down my Vac leak and replace all my vac hoses

 

Changed my diff (thanks dustin!) at work, huge difference. My old one was about to go kaboom, it's bad, free for anyone who want's it though (Miata lsd swap?)

.....

AND FOUND THIS!!!!!!!!!

 

I broke the turn signal return somehow today. i was turning and i heard click click SNAP CRUNCH SNAP. So I got to yank that all out and see what broke, so i can go to the scrap yard and grab a new one.....


damn thing wont return to the neutral position after a turn.

 

Looked at it, needs a lot of work, it's my brothers but chances are I'll be working on it. At least I finally have a shop/garage to work on my car now.

 

first week with the new turbos and had to turn down the boost controller, felt it cut out at 6grand. fuel cut off? (was at 11psi 3rd gear with bnr's)

 

got the car back on the ground for the first time in about two months
dtss elims are installed and the ic piping has been trimmed so the front bumper fits properly now

 

Lol, get an EMS on there before you lose a few of your apex seals. Yes FDs cut fuel at 10-11 psi after a few seconds. I hear rotary engines really like to have their fuel taken away at high rpm and boost. Gets rid of all the carbon buildup.

 

10 psi is stock on an fd, 1 psi over stock and it cuts? Does the ecu have stock fuel cut like the FC's? Yeah EMS should help, or I'd look into your fuel system, ems will do **** if other parts are fucked.

 

worked on pulling the wiring harness from her, had rain coming so I left intakes in place untill I get it unpluged from inside, that way should be fast easy swap, still need to do LIM and turbo, but everything reachable is disconnected. Since its dark and weather sucks I'm sewing a tear in the new carpet. about half way done can't even tell it had a slice. plus its in a hidden area anyway.

 

did some weight reduction pulled out the motor

 

Best weight reduction EVAR.


I got un-ripped rear carpet today, and one side emblem. unfortunately, my best efforts only produced one, the other one just shattered when i attempted to pull it. tomorrow I'll clean the carpet and install it.

 

took my fc to toleto WA to have my buddy help me fix it. runs at cold start, then dies. i think its flooding.

got stuff to do an oil change, bled the clutchline.

thats about it. oh new plugs and wires the other day

 

Spent a few minutes and pulled water pump, front cover, oil pump. Tomorrow means new oil pump, rod bolts and pan baffle. Ordering a trans mount tomorrow so mebbe the engine will be sitting in the car by the end of this week. **** YEAH.

 

Does yesterday count? I went ice racing!

 

^beast!

 

From this,



To this,

 

well this weekend i put a new alternator in (dual belt pulley) so its almost time to take the air pump out... And got a little sideways here and there..

There was drift practice and it was good to see a couple more 7s out this time

 

I assume you are NA with your 14 in. wheels. If you remove your air pump you will lose top end power (from the little you already have) because your 5th and 6th ports will not be opening.

 

i resanded and painted my front lip, than went to buy some tires for my rims. Painted my rims gold. put in turbo II seats

 

Tweak, how did you get your bushings in? Rubber mallot? I don't wanna go have a "machinist" do it when I AM a machinist and don't wanna pay money for someone to operate a stupid proof press lol.

3vil, I think it would look sick even how it is just lowered and lipped. I think People put "rims" on a pedistal sometimes. I would love a set of stocks man...

 

lets see i pulled out the rtek 1.7 and sent it in for the 2.1 upgrade!

 

Sub-frame bushings I just stepped on and they went in. Diff bushings I put a piece of wood on to of and hit with a hammer. They are tuff, don't be worried about breaking them.

 

his avitar is an S4 there fore smog pump wont effect 5th and 6th ports. only S5 works like that.
