Yup. Lots of little stuff. Sorry, been lazy about posting. Almost done with the electrical pre-wire. The pannel welds to the inside of the firewall, under the dash. Made it removeable, so any additions or corrections can be done outside of the car. I hate wiring under the dash.

Finished reinforcing the TII clutch fork....https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...26#post8504726

Based on our visit, I also made the flange for the crankcase vent-to-catch can.

Finished the plug wires.

Also made the mount and plumbing for the wastegate solenoid. I'm still waiting on some earls seperators/clamps to tidy the hoses up a bit.

Did you ever decide on a gauge? Just buy the probes and a converter and you can datalog with your E8.

Haven't decided yet. I'd like to have a gauge (I've got an extra spot in the center guage pod we made) and the ability to datalog. I need to do some looking. Suggestions?

this project is an abortion. lol i cant wait for you to take that thing to the race track and have all the v8 guys laugh at you while you run 15s in this thing. hell even the import guys will laugh at you. the whole reason people put v8s in rx7s is the chassis rocks but the rotary is a POS. youve gone and put a POS motor in a POS chassis.

I don't get why if you hate rotaries so much why are you always on this website??????

This guy has put alot of quality nice work in this project and all you can say is this bullshit. Not cool bro. I am not a big fan of off brand engine swaps but I can at least admire a good quality job. And at least he's not ruining an Rx7 by putting in a POS LSI boat anchor.

Wow, what a giant ******* douche. Must feel great knowing 'bags like Hemi spontaneously bunch their panties upon seeing the project.


Love the attention to detail! Definitely one of the best builds I have ever seen.

Brother, if LIL HEMI is your ride, your post is the best compliment paid to date!

I'll make sure to send you a copy of that "15 second" timeslip, LOL.

I've been keeping tabs on your build and that compliment coming from you is the second best compliment to date. Gonna have to try a little harder to beat out LILHEMI though.

Oh yeah, then post some pics of your rx7's, instead of that POS chevy reject sprint shitbox of yours. Talking about sheep mentality- That's fricken funnier than hell coming from a guy who is running a piston moto- baaaaa, baaaa, baaaaa.

All, I ever hear from you is negative bullshit. Your like that guy Rice Racing that trolls around looking for **** and only post bullshit and don't give any kind of positive feedback or comments to this community.

I really don't know how Doc Holiday can be your friend. You guys are total opposites- He's cool, your a *****. And at least he's not a sheep like you to slap a piston motor in a shitbox like everyone else out there.

So, if you still want to talk ****, why don't you come over to the drag racing forum and post some pics of your shitbox set up and talk **** on rotaries. I know everyone in that forum will tear you a new *******. F-ing jackbag

LILHEMI,
Normally, I appreciate a little negative criticism. In the end, it helps me build a better car. Even when 2cute voiced her dislike for the swap, she did it in a respectfull manner. It's clear by your approach that you just want to raise hell and get attention. Let's leave the comments to folks who have something constructive to add and take the playground bullying to another forum.
