Oh that bastard. Tell him to swing for the 20B. My idiot surround is broken as well, I just ignore it. It has velcro under it holding it in place... I'm guessing that's not normal. No chance of me crawling to Mazda to replace it.

 

yea i think thats what hes leaning toward. i saw a picture of it. red s5 very purrrrrrty. yea i woulda rigged it but it broke into like 7 pieces. so typical of a seven everything happens in sevens...okay maybe not but that would be wierd

 

Wow... 7 pieces. Thorough. So is everyone okay with meeting at Circuit City again on the 13th?

 

Im ok with it, and the widebody may even be ready by then....well..running that is.

 

I hope it's on the road by then... what's it lacking?

 

hmm...lacking a FC main fuse block, fc coils, trans gear change and lsd fluid change, stereo install.....PAINT!!! and a few other odds and ends from teh prev. owner

 

Derrick, I'm shocked... that you don't have all that stuff laying around somewhere. I didn't know you were even putting a 13B in there. I take it you're sticking to fuel injection?

 

Actually liz, the widebody is a gsl-se with the 13b RE-EGI, so its fuel injected....****** 2 720cc injectors man. But as for having all the stuff....i have the fuse block and coils, its just at brillo's, and we got all the fluids and stuff for the radio, just slooooowwww....

 

Oh that's right. I forgot it was an SE... I thought the SE came with 680's? Well let me know when you're gonna get everything together. Too much goes on around here without my nose in it.

 

well they came in either 680's or 720's....this one has the beefy 720's....though you is more than welcome to putter that cheeto out here and lend a hand on the body/paint or whatever

 

Is it in Dandridge or Murrville? I need to get the TII out and let it do some puttering... it's been sitting ever since I got the Cheeto running again.

 

Murrville..MARYVILLE!!
but yeah, My house

 

Over at hellbents, ill be here all weekend pretty much, its started on starting fluid but fragged the fusible links so yea...

 

Alright. Sounds like you've got some gremlins to work out. Make sure you check the plugs, that's what gave me a headache after installing the fuel pump.

 

nah, plugs is new. Its the 2nd gen alt that got put in, more amps than the fusible link was rated for so it cooked the block prolly. But before you head this way CALL me so you knows im out here, cuz im sposed to head to brillo's mom's to get the lil odds and ends. If you dont have my number handy its 865 335 6242

 

Welp I was out pulling apart a poor 80 SA today so I didn't get to come out. Got to meet another 1st gen owner though.

 

So.. pics and updates later today..

 

Pics or ban!

 

 

lol yeah hes got pics somewhere... but damn thing needs a fuel pump now >.<

 

Walbro on eBay = 100 bucks shipped. Then again... the SE is external, so I'd guess you'd have to go with a different one right?

So... where's our pics?

 

Rhino bedliner in the hatch area

Cleaned and slightly painted up Re-Egi Intake, throttle body was carbon locked...a can of carb cleaner and a chisel later it works again.

The radiator...were going to assume they didnt remove it when they did some clutch work or something...since it has a odd imprint of the clutch fan.

Old alternator on the left, brand spanking new S4 alt on the right.

Cleaned up, relocated fuel door, added a small logo

Right side of the widebody, my *** over in the upper part of the pick de-crustifying the sunroof (down to bare metal and mostly no rust now) Also barely shown is the set of early model Toyota Supra wheels, 14x7 in the standard gsl-se/4lug fc bolt pattern.

 

Ha, I recognize those 2nd gen Supra wheels. Those things are cool. Too bad they won't fit a GSL. Looks like it's shaping up nicely. Nice work on the Rhino lining... maybe Mazda should do that at the factory since something always ends up leaking back there. They were smart enough to put a ton of drain plugs in.

 

Oh, and huzzah for us... 2000 posts, 81 pages, and the longest thread in the SE section

 

Welp, we're back in action so time for an update. Sorry to the RX7club admins... I know it was our thread hitting 2k posts that brought the machine down The club was down for like 3 days which was long enough for everyone to trade cars. Well okay maybe not but I got a visit from Brillo in Derrick's hijacked TII.

The meet is still on for Saturday the 13th... that's a week from tomorrow for those without calendars or maps or iPhones and what-not. Is 6PM good for everyone? Don't expect any baked goods... without Alyssa here all I can offer is burnt toast.

So who's up for next weekend?
