Awesome. Glad you got it going last night. I'm sure you will get the surging figured out soon.

 

Thought I needed to replace my front wheel bearings because of noise and movement. But I retorqued the spindle nut and that fixed that problem, saved me $70.

Flushed and filled tranny with Redline 75/90 GL-4. Wow. Huge difference from organic to that. Now I can downshiftp properly.

 

Finally a sunny day. Washed her up and fed it a hot breakfast. Bitch.

 

Gave her a bath and installed a fuel pump kill switch. Hidden like a boss. Just gotta get used to hitting it now.

thing idles for a solid 2 minutes before it even starts sputtering, though. almost thought i did something wrong.

Also got started on installing the fog lights, too. Ran some of the wiring for it, stopped there.

 

Tinted my windows today at work. Not bad for first try... AND FREE lol I know I'm trying to find a new shell, so I'll just tint those ones too lol.

 

And I waxed and buffed it. After taking this pic though.

 

Installed my Taurus E-fan today. Much happier with that. Runs a bit cooler, also.

 

New plugs, new wires, NGK all da way!

 

Pulled that ugly *** front plate off.

 

finally got the rx7 running

Finished with the wire removal and started to get the interior back together. Also got the pedal assembly back in and the clutch master and brake booster reinstalled. Got the clutch bled as well. Nice and firm.

 

still trying to bust off the flywheel nut..... ****** wont budge. I'm getting mad. I even tryed jacking up on the braker bar, and still wouldn't budge. I hate my life.

 

Just hit 200 miles on the engine today. Getting smoother, stronger, more responsive. Spent the last couple hours putting around the hills around Corvallis. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good spot to take pictures of my car on any of the roads I was on today.

Maybe I'll put the radiator fan shroud since I forgot it in the excitement of getting everything back in the engine bay.

Edit:
I forgot to add that the surging was due to the TPS reading 4.97 volts instead of one. I can only back it out to 2.02 volts with the regular set scew, but with a longer spring and screw I was able to get about 1.10 volts.

 

Heat it with a torch, it worked for me.

 

Congrats man! Job well done. Now throw an exhaust on there! It sounds um lovely.

 

Got all of the interior electrical finished got the dash back in and treated the last of the rust. Only Issues left are the mirrors still not working fully. They only move to the right and down. My guess is a bad switch. And the plugs for the clock and rear defrost switch don't quite reach. I also got the front speaker wires run. Tomorrow I can finish with the interior and get my new stereo installed. I still need speakers though. lol. This was one hell of a weekend.

 

yeah, I've tried that. I'm gonna give it another go and get it hotter.

 

Installed my new set of wheels. The fittment is much better with these wheels. I will snap some pics and put them on here soon.

 

Rx8 seats showed up today, I cleaned them up, hit the rust off the underside of the seats and painted them up.

 

Tons of torching + big boy impact gun.

 

Jinxd..... The old 'end of jack handle' not workn? U could buy a 3ft big mama wrench size as f/w nut and try that. (workd for me back in the day)

 

$35 for the socket and adapter, and use your impact gun and they come off in two seconds.

 

tooshort and I put in 7hrs work on the engine bay of the turbo FB, or what remains of the engine bay....

stay tuned for updates

 

I have the socket, and I've tryed a half inch impact and a 3/4 inch, both nothing. the jack came after those two failed.

 

Try soaking it in anti-seize over night?
