It was there for two days when I saw her and apparently I was the 3rd person that day to get parts from it. And I got there at like 10AM



Today, I waited for parts. Maybe when I get home I'll swap the clutch hydraulics from the coupe to the vert and bleed them. And start fabricating manual trans to automatic chassis brackets.

 

put my new lisc plate frame on my rx8!


man it needs a bath!

 

replace the rear calipers,rotor and brake pads in my fc! was having problems with the brakes dragging, works good now!

 

fixed one day broken the next , coolent buzzer! heater hose leaking! cut the end off and put it back on, good as new!

 

Now you need a lisc plate frame for your RX-7 that says Id rather be driving my RX-8. LOL

 

yeah I had another idea, to put on my rx7, "my other ride is an rx-7" would confuse some people as well haha

 

Got me a nice new turbo (GT45) and a Gene Berg 58mm for the wife's p-port FD.

 

^ I like where that is heading, sub 10s? what do you think

 

Last night I plumbed my fuel lines, installed exhaust and then did the rest of the coolant system. The. I cranked that bitch over like there's no tomorrow. Finally started after the neighbor was turning the cas. It ran for a bit and died. Couldn't start it again. Garage was filled w smoke. Today I'll figure it all out and get her going good.

 

took her out and did a 3 gear blazing burn out in front of my old land lords house........man i feel good, was choking a littlle bit after..........ugg

 

^^^ hahaha nice !

Me,I had different key for my left and right door
Went to the locksmith and charged me 30ish $

I managed to make my motive power bleeder work for my FC.
Got an old cap from a junkyard, drill a 1/4" hole in cap and put an old bleeder nipple in it. Then a nut on the back of that. I cut the old fitting off the hose and put it on the bleeder nipple with a smaller hose under that and clamped it on. There's a hole in the cap so I mixed epoxy on a nail and drove the nail in the hole. Put the cap on and have at it.

After I made that it took me 15-20 mins to bleed my brakes and clutch after being completely dry. And it took that long cause I had to take a wheel off and tighten my clutch lines again.

Tomorrow I will throw some clamps on the tmic and get it timed. Then try to fix oil leaks.

 

I ******* DROVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

A whole 1.5 miles. The brakes ante squishy, the motor dies and won't idle. I got a lot of work ahead of me but man. 2 years. It's been too long. I miss driving an FC real bad.

 

progress is progress!

 

good luck man hopefully its something silly like a bad vacuum line

 

Taylor, you got an rx7 again??

 

Gave it a bath, changed the oil, and properly wired up my radio so it works!
Changing the oil prompted the old oil pressure condenser wire to find ground. Found it, yanked it out. No more pegging gauge.

 

Ordered scatter shield and Turblown stud kit.

 

Picked up 80ft of 1.5"x.095 DOM for the FC

 

Put my 76 Cosmo steering wheel on the FB.

 

More rotary fun. Had to get customer work done before any work on my own.

 

well she got a nice cleaning today, fresh oil and filter a light carb massage and a good run out on the freeway with a nice comment from the guy at the car wash. feels good to own a 7.

 

stared at the perfectly good 12a and 5 speed sitting in my garage with no rx anything to put it in

 

Put in Brand new steering rack and pitman arm night and day difference
