Put coils on the missile car finally

 

Peeled the front wire harness on the FD. Man what a hack job from the previous owner.

 

helped my dad take a load of stuff to the dump from his garage... hes slowly cleaning it out! unbeleiveable

 

Rolled fenders and more sanding. Might be ready to shoot tomorrow afternoon.

 

Finally installed a new boost gauge and got the radiator fans swapped out. Been to busy on other peoples cars.

 

Engine harness is finally done and done correctly. No thanks to who ever hacked it up before.

 

Found out the rear window leaks on my vert ugh guess the vert is for sunny days only until I get the rear glass sealed an shop for a re2000 kit an maybe turbo swap

 

Things are starting to shape up, picked up Megan Racing coilovers today and they look pretty good. TII/FC front end conversion is coming along nicely.
Need to do final fab work on intercooler and radiator support before I paint the engine compartment, just primer right now.
Added some pics for fun.

 

Looking good slammed, you going to do a wright up on the FC front end Conversion. I sure would read it.

 

Please, go on...

In the Subie scene Megans are highly respected as an excellent street-use coilover. Which platform are these designed for? AE86? Supra?

 

FC3S,I put a complete FC front subframe on my FB in prep for the TII.

 

Open drift on sunday

 

worked on the rx8 s2 wheels painted 2 of them primered the other two!

 

Looking good Ryan. I just got my 3 piece RE Amemiya rims in. Still working on the FD wire harness, It is still missing a couple wires. I hope to have it driveable by the end of the month.

 

And to SlammedGSL... There is so much sexy going on with that FB I can't contain myself! GREAT WORK!

 

Yeah, I saw a bunch of you at the Old School Reunion, now I see what you were talking about Lloyd... Very nice.

Looks like there's another big meet in November.

Swapped out plugs on the SE, right before leaving for the show. Both cars running great.

 

Picked up a 1991 brave blue shell in OR. To go along with my 1991 brave blue coupe. This one will be the nice comfy car that I'll be using as a getaway car for my wedding next year.

It's rough, so I'll need your guys help with things. If you have interior parts for a vert, let me know. Also looking for some other things. I'll post up in the FS/WTB section.

 

Over this last wknd:

Fixed blown-out gasket between front of block and WP-housing (Make sure to spray-soak all your paper gaskets in VHT Clear, then "bake" in the oven, I did mine @ 175deg for 30min, works wonders!)

Deleted Power-Steering

Installed Manual Steering! ( Y U NO DO SOONER?!)

 

put the s2 wheels on the 8! with 25 mm spacers!

 

Serviced all my grounds and added the one recommended on http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/grounding.htm no more 3800 rpm "hesitation" though mine was much worse than just a hesitation. Cruises right up to red line now! I'm excited.
Washed It as well.
Need to clean the inside, but more importantly go for a drive!

 

Refreshed the FBs motor and replaced the transmission. Moving onto the new big turbo manifold... Need moar powahhh!

 

Sold it.

 

Drilled and plugged 2 holes on the S5 LIM and then match drilled to mate the S6 UIM after they both were port matched, doing some fabbing of the Radiator/IC "module" (linking them together so they install/come out as a single unit).
A little cutting here and there.
Just stuff....

 

I replaced the afm to see if it would start and run. still no luck and it's upsetting. looking for other possible issues now.

 

Picked up a sport model!!! No sunroof, ac, or ps. So excited!
