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.
could you go into more detail on the first pic on the left? Im really more interested in what the column on the left side of the plate just above the relays are? Are they grounds?

The three distribution blocks are power (top), ignition(middle), and ground(bottom). Just makes things a little more organized and serviceable in my opinion. Also makes adding more circuits later on much easier.

Just got back from the body shop. I made the 8 hour round trip, to weld in the battery mount and the electrical pannel mount. Things are coming along slowly, but it is looking great. He's almost ready to spray the undercarriage and jam the car. Looks like another month or two.

Fantastic project.

Fwiw, if you've ever been to Nevada, let alone Sparks, Nevada, you'd understand his level of intolerance and stupidity.

look you can try to be eloquent here but no one will notice. your just another jack off on the internet just like the rest of us. so get off your high horse and at least talk **** like a man. subtle nuances may be cool in frisco but in man country they just make you look like a homo.

To the OP,
Sorry for the distraction, it just annoys me when closet homo's bag on peoples projects for no other reason than the fact that their brain capacity is too limited to understand why someone would do something different than themselves. I give you props for doing such a project, especially one that invites stupid people who try to knock-it.

You noticed, but then again you are right, you are a noone.

Again you're right, but some more so than others...as in your case.

Apparently there is no one more qualified to make that statement than you.

and once again ill put this out here. we dont live far from each other. lets meet up at sac raceway and settle this with a $500 contest of speed. you win you get to take my ignorant inbred money. i win i get to laugh at you while i go spend your money on alcohol, tobacco and firearms. deal? dont puss out now cause that seems to be a pervasive theme amongst the west coast rotary guys

Haven't been working on the car much lately. Been out of town on business quite a bit lately and the evenings when I have been home have been spent welding oil field stuff at the fab shop. But......I managed to sneak in the new oil cooler mount. The old one would have worked fine, but I think this one looks nicer. Hopefully this weekend I'll run up to Lockney and put the subframe and rear suspension on the car. It all depends if Andy has the underneath painted and everything jammed.
