ultimatejay 01-15-11 08:12 PM

Holy crap, you just read my mind. I just posted not two seconds ago before I saw this thread in Enzo thread for you to post some new pics.... and viola!

Looks bitchin Allen, I can't wait to see it run and I'm sure you got some major blue balls.:lol:

13B-RX3 01-15-11 08:15 PM

Thanks guys. It's great having the car so close to me. I use to have to drive across town to work on it but now i just go downstairs. I am getting at least one or two things done every day!

angel71171 01-15-11 08:33 PM

Good job,it looks awesome very clean.Is this a street driven or strictly strip?? Good luck and keep posting photos.

13B-RX3 01-15-11 08:39 PM

Thank you! I enjoyed watching your dyno videos!

The car is just for the track now but when i get it back home it will see some street time!

rx71king 01-15-11 09:04 PM

good looking setup....what ignition are you running,,...?

13B-RX3 01-15-11 09:08 PM

Thank you!


An MSD DIS4 and two MSD Digital 6s. Blaster ss on the trailing and blaster HVC2 on the leading.

i am really digging that oil filler/catch can u got there. Where does the bottom line go?

13B-RX3 01-15-11 09:16 PM

Thanks

The bottom line has a shutoff valve and then overboard. I was thinking about draining it back into the cover with the oil pressure regulator return.

I would just drain it out. You will have some condensation and you don't want to put that back in the engine.

13B-RX3 01-15-11 09:39 PM

Good point Jay. When i ditch the CAS i may put a filler neck there.

beefcake 01-15-11 09:42 PM

how do you go about ditching the dizzycas and installing a true crank cas , Id like to do this sometime, whats the go or parts list that you need

13B-RX3 01-15-11 09:47 PM

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...&highlight=cas

I have all the parts to do it, i just need to get off my ass. Thats one of the things i am doing while i am rewiring it.

I'll snap some pics when it's in.

enzo250 01-15-11 09:54 PM

Looking Good Allen...

Let me know whatever you need i'm here to help. (Rotary or Piston :lol:)

13B-RX3 01-15-11 09:56 PM

Thanks Enzo. If everything goes right i will start laying the engine harness next week!

sk8world 01-15-11 10:54 PM

Looking great Allen!

The drag section was dead for awhile but coming alive now! Along with some funny piston talk.

13B-RX3 01-15-11 11:59 PM

When are we going to see one of these threads on your car?

Judge Ito 01-16-11 05:47 AM

Allen, is that the 1000 or 2000 ems? and what did you have before?

KNONFS 01-16-11 07:58 AM

From the fuzzy pic it looks like a PS2000 but I could be wrong.

Also Allen, what does your ignition system currently consist of? Car is looking great man, keep up the good "rotary" work! :icon_tup:

looking good.....haltech is the shit now.....i been using them on customer cars and they work really great with the stock CAS and stock coils.

I have had my mind on the haltech for a while for all my cars.....anyone want Microtech ECU's out there?

I have 2 LT`12s complete with dashes i want to get rid of.....

Thanks for the complements everyone!

It's the 2000 Ito. I had the E11V2 before.
