army you selling the gilmer belt set up?

 

changed transmission again! blew up second gear with a 9k shift, can,'t seem to keep a trans in it that is worth a sh*t. looking at building a frankienstein with split ratio if possible. have a few things in mind, keep ya posted.

 

It is not mine to sell Joe. It is here for you though. I am home so swing by and visit after the 4th.

 

It wasn't today, but recently I have done a few things:

2002 RX-7 Gauge cluster - still waiting for it to arrive but simple install when it gets here
RX-8 steering wheel with working steering wheel audio controls and horn
Reupholstered seats in micro suede, redid foam, and added adjustable lumbar support
Replaced heater core
Installed B-Quiet in the entire car
Pioneer double din navigation, DVD, and Bluetooth system
Built and installed a custom 10" sub enclosure
Concept 10" subwoofer
Kenwood 4 channel and mono amplifiers
4x 6.5" component speakers

 

Here are some pictures of the work.

 

Huh, dont understand.

 

Installed the Solex locks I've had sitting in my garage forever. Doors came out great, Having an issue with the hatch lock though. Eh... Still unlocks from the inside. I don't think I've ever opened it with a key anyway. At least it looks good

 

got my rb front sway bar & koni ajustables done & went up a local whindy road u into the hills it made a huge diferance, will give it the real test next weekend @ larson rock hill climb

 

With the help of a fellow club member, I installed my aluminum radiator thats been sitting in the corner for 3 months now... Maybe more....


I hipster'ed my pic, yay! (Time to end this awesome day with one of my favorite movies. "Ghost in the shell".)

 

Joe what I meant was that this was a gift from you for my car. I will only pass it back to you.

BTW, Engine is back in, headder has been modified and FD water pump and serpentines are ready to be turned over after the intake manifold dries.

 

redid my fuel lines and installed mallory fuel pump.

 

Almost done. Ignition and belts picked up. Need to modify spacers.

 

Input timing tables for my Rtek 2.1 that I got of the board here. Man, that took a long time...!

 

Working on stripping down my carb and following rabbit trails to broken links to find out what stays and what goes. Thinking I'm gonna keep the choke assembly cause I live in the barren North of B.C., or at least mid B.C., where we see -30 c every winter and getting a winter beater is not an option.

 

Got it running.

 

After driving the daily all week, I picked up the seven early for my last day of work... and I drove it hard... really hard, all night long. (I also cooled it down really long too.. Ready to get to work in 20mins vs an hour tomorrow.

 

Found out the shippers arrived to pickup the widebody in NY, and they apparently were unable to pickup. have to wait till Monday to find out (WHY do they never call me, the paying customer, when there is a problem. So unprofessional) when they are going to be able to schedule another pickup with the right truck.

Once it gets here looks like I'm going to have some parts to trade. Low mileage 12a with tranny I will have up for grabs. Looking for porting/exhaust/ignition work to be done.

I'm also in talks with some guys at Speedware Motorsports who may be able to help me out with some bodywork. I've got a couple grand built up in barter credit with 1 company, about 8 grand with another. Saving up for new shocks and sway bars.

 

Took it for a test drive... Launches like a BOSS!

 

I finished my back carpet today, i think it looks great, i included a photo there. it's a soft, furry and fluffy white color that matches my white pearl paint, the photo makes it look a little yellow or dirty but it's nice an clean and looks awesome.

I also purchased a few relays, circuit breakers and wire and some other things to relocate my battery to the storage bin and fix the voltage drop problems that fb's have.

 

I imagined working on her in a new 3 car garage... That was across the street from a light blue house with a silver S4 (Anyone on here?? Lake Steven's)

But... That dream was smashed. (((((

 

^ That may have been Travis. He's a Domino's delivery driver... Unfortunately he isn't on the forum.



July 29th - Picked up a "new" unmolested throttle body from forum member 'FC slide'. (Good deal... Cool guy.) - I became sick of the 'TB mod' that I performed years ago on my old throttle body. I disassembled my BOV, stretched the springs, and resealed it. No more BOV leak. It is still fully functional and adjustable.

July 30th - Went to the junkyard and picked up a used N/A throttle cable. I installed the "new" throttle body and fabricated a bracket to use the N/A throttle cable on my TII engine. I modified the throttle linkage and modified the TPS bracket for the TB. I hooked everything up... And NO start. I diagnosed my problem, eliminating the possibility of main relay failure or poor ground cable... Ran out of day light.

July 31st - Got the electrical situation figured out. The positive battery cable was hot after trying to start the car a few times... Swapped in a new battery and the car started right up. I took the car for a small spin and washed it. I am VERY pleased with the throttle response.

 

reupholstered my door panels with some microsuede. turned out pretty good i think.

before


after

 

^ Very nice! I've often thought of doing this myself. Doesn't seem very difficult.

Price? (If you don't mind me asking...)

 

Cost me about 25$ and my time. Bought the microsuede at my local fabric store.

 

replaced my beatup door, front bumper and lip, on my 86 rx7
