Looking really nice. Did you get your temps under control?

 

sure did. i think it was a combination of the volume of the raditor and the fans. I like the new spal fans alot. they move a ton of CFM and are three times as quite as my old fans.

took it to a freinds shop on saturday and repalced the pressure plate because the pressure plate that i installed caused the clutch pedal to be a bit to heavy for me. installed an ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate and pedal is good. took it out for a nice cruise last night.

 

hey Papsmagu ~

what are you using to cap/plug that oil port on the front housing?

 

Believe it or not I found an oil pan bolt with crush washer at the local Advanced Auto parts store that had the right thread pattern. Works perfect.

 

LOL

i bought a bolt with the expressed purpose of cutting it to fit, but i have never felt comfortable with that solution ... until today. thanks.

 

Simon,

You have made my old truck exactly 100% what I dreamed for. I have sold alot of things but it makes it alot better when I see it be done the way I had dreamed! If I ever win the lotto you will be one of the first people I call.

So happy you got the old girl. Took me awhile to find her and only wish I could have done the same to her.

Still drooling...................

 

How is driving a bridge port in traffic?

 

Glad i could make you feel comfortable....as long as it doesnt leak....your good to go.

glad to hear....should make it up to DGRR next year so if you are there, you can take it for a ride. glad i lived up to your expectation of your dream truck....i walways wanted a 20B REPU and now i have one....how lucky am i? crossing my fingers you hit the lotto cause you are one of a very few i would sell her to. Once again, thanks for selling her to me.

No issues....behaves just like any other Rotary....just sounds ALOT Better!!!

 

so my cousin was over yesterday and took some pretty cool pics of the REPU.....thought i would share

 

That is damn nice looking Simon.

 

understatement of the thread, yet i somehow can't find words to make it right. those BBS are like classy heels on a cut-up woman.

 

Thanks...gonna try and bring it up to Kilo's when you pick your FD up. It will be a nice trip

Great analogy!

 

If you do, get some pics of yours and David's side by side. Chomping at the bit to see his finished Vmount

 

I was lucky enough to see this beauty in person.
These pics are great but she looks even better in person.
The fit and finish and detail that he put in this truck is second to none.

Congrat on a awesome REPU bro!

 

Looking great!

 

I will but i will have to do it while we are in the parking lot, because my little REPU cannot keep up with his FD

Thanks Steve.....will we get to see the FB in November? Not that i have anything against the 8 because that thing is a beauty

 

Awesome build man, i remember the truck when chad owned it. Its came a long way

 

thanks. Chad is an awesome guy and great seller. A True Rotary enthusiast. Here are some pics of the day i picked it up from Chad.

It was a great platform to start from. Very little rust and the truck was in great shape. Made the build much easier. I actually drove it around for a week just like i picked it up....i could not resist ahahahahahaha

All loaded up and ready for the drive back to FL

 

Man your truck is something else. You definitely give me a goal in the stance and overall cleanliness of the truck.

 

I LOVE your truck! You should bring it out to the West Coast for JCCS, then I can plead my case for a ride in it!! Great build, man!

 

Thanks man….glad it inspires you. I had the same inspiration with turbo dave’s REPU build and took a lot of his ideas.

Thanks…..It will be out west one of these days…..i have been seriously thinking about going to seven stock. Maybe next year, as this year seven stock falls on the same day as the largest Florida rotary meet of the year. I don’t know when the JCCS car show is but I rather attend Mazda/Rotary only events. Rotary’s are small group and we tend to get outnumbered when paired with other car manufacturer’s.

 

Well....think about Sevenstock for next year. I am 25 minutes away from the California Speedway, we can BBQ, and I will kick my 240Z outta the garage for a few days so your repu can have a garage spot!

 

This truck is disturbingly awesome! Totally loving the air inlets. Great work

 

This is honestly the coolest truck of any kind that I have ever seen. Maybe DGRR next year? I'm trying to make it out there in my 7 for the first time. I would love to see this thing in person!

 

simon, I hope you can bring this up to DGRR this year. I'm wanting to check it out and I'm really wanting to drop a 3 rotor into my rx3 and set up the engine similar to yours.
