so on my fb, i put the engine and tranny in, hooked up the drive-shaft, put back on the heat shields, put the dizzy on.

still missing some stuff and still need to put together my intake (stock sa with emission delete),
and my Racing Beat full exhaust.

then go from there.

 

yea i got my el cheapo kit... it works good. has good lighting.. but you gotta keep an eye on the wiring.. they are touchy.. yes i keep reg headlights with me. ya just never know

 

decided to kiss the cement barrier on the on ramp today.. assessing damage

 

I replaced the shift bushings in my 86 GXL. Actually, I use the word "replaced" loosely, because the shop that repaired my transmission (several years ago) did not install any bushings.

 

i know someone who has front fenders if that's what you need.

so what happened? and did you assess the damage?

 

roseburg

 

thats cool. pm me about details. if they are good, i can get my buddy to do his as well. that would be 2 for you, prob same day/weekend. roseburg isn't that far

 

i took most of the day to tune and break in my new engine. I feel the Compression building. SWEET. . new co2 sensor and other parts. She pulls hard for an NA

 

lowered the rear coils and installed my feed front lip

 

got a free ecu for my new 400 buck fc and started it up. needs to be timed and fresh fuel but its a $400 runner.

 

that was the simplified version.. anyway, let me know whats going on with that rebuild

 

Drove it & tach'd it out! Its all about the SPG's!! (SmilesPerGallon)

 

Drove it for the first time in damn near a year to the day. It was awesomeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

I think I broke my FC today. Parked it at a friends, went to drive it home and it cranks but no start. Tried de-flooding with no success. The biggest part that concerns me is the fact that I cant hear the compression stroke very well.

 

pull your leading plug from one rotor pull egi fuse, and crank listen for 3 comp strokes should be equal whooshes. should be loud, put plug back in check other rotor.

If you call it quits and sell it swap me rims first.

 

I cussed at it. I've never had to replace the beehive o-rings until now (or at least I never took the time). I'm tired and I can't figure out how to get the dang thing off.

 

yeah, I feel like cussing at mine. I spent the day bleeding the brakes after it got all new stainless lines, slotted front rotors and hawk pads, doing the rears next. got all the air out but master cylinder is junk.... so gonna swap it out tomorrow and try again.... I knew there was a problem with the brakes but I thought they just needed to be blead. that was the problem the first time. I get pressure in the pads but not in the peddle. just goes to the floor. But my project should be running soon. maybe by the end of the week.

BTW the bolts are under the behive. theres a write up in the first gen section. I did one along time ago but don't remember exactly how i got it off. I may have done it from under car with an extention and wobble, but couldn't say for sure. I just know there under the bee hive. you have to drain the coolant ect.Also get a fsm from foxed.ca just google that and rx7 you'll find it. But if its a 12a thats the hardest thing to do on it. other than that your golden!

 

Thanks for the tip. I'm downloading the FSMs now. You're right. This is the easiest car (for the most part) to work on. I'm on my fourth first gen and I learn new things all the time.

 

Changed the oil, and bled the clutch.
Makes the car drive like new =)

 

Got the check from totaling my Miata. Going to get a rebuild kit and maybe some other small things. Got my E6K the other day too. Just need housings ported and refurbished. Then down to business.

 

sent my nappy injectors off to witch hunter today.

 

completed this today

 

i want my s5 tails to look like that.. So tell me. what was the total Cost?

 

about 120$ and my time

 

Sodrifter, you should do a write up on this, looks like a cool upgrade.
