Limepro, props for taking him in. He looks happy there! If he smelled like fuel he will have no issues living with a 7 owner!

 

I pulled the sterio out and found the nasty wiring job from hell done by the last owner. lolz and in doing this i figured out my ignition problem. he wired the battery cable for the cd played through the ignition and it was shorting out my starter. so now i dont have to sit for twenty min waiting for the starter to click on

 

yeah and it takes away from the fact I put a Pettit ECU in my car lol.

 

I swapped out a power window regulator for a manual regulator on my drivers door.

 

replaced some vacuum lines that were missing, fixed my boost problem and OMG it is a huge difference.

 

install wiring harness, rotary works TB, downpipe, custom oil filler pipe.

still waiting on CJ dual pump assembly.

need to get custom TB elbow fabricated.

 

Greedy doesn't fit?

 

went for a ride 1st time since the meet. thank the man who invented a/c

man its hot out.

 

The bend on the Greddy elbow was causing issues with the intercooler piping being right up against the altenator bracket, plus was having clearence issues with the oil filler neck. I bought a rotary works elbow and it has the right bend for the i/c piping and clears the oil filler, but needs to be modified since it doesnt allow me to close the hood by 1/2 inch. Or Might have to find a stock RE elbow.

 

Wife saw a MB last night parked at Sunset place, she got a picture of it too just to send to me lol. Looks like it might have been Joe's the paint looked great on it.

 

I went to the JAX meet on Saturday and heard how a 1st gen should run. It was suggested that my timing might be off a tooth.

Today, I attempted to set my timing. FAIL!

 

installed new turbo today. got alot left to do

 

Worked on the "NEW" addition to the family... Now BOTH my sons have FD's...

 

laz, is that two water temps both at 94? also what is the 64, is that intake temps? if so, that is hot as hell, where is your AIT sensor located? if my car saw that temp it would retard ignition almost 3 degrees!

joe, i am going to have to report you to the mods. the thread title is what you did to YOUR RX-7, so post pics of what you did to your car! you should show off the new sexiness that got installed in your FD

 

Just broke the drivers door handle for the 2nd time this year

 

nothing today but the rear tint is being removed tomorrow. It's all tore and faded.

 

disasembled the motor

 

its just the data screen. it cycles thru in the top left. also yes those were the air temps which is in the stock location.

 

I washed and waxed mine followed by some pics...

 

Get the aluminum http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda...Q5fAccessories

I got them for $160, offer him $150 he might accept it. haven't had a single problem with them and they go in super easy.

 

Yeah that's what I was gonna do, I just find it difficult to hit the button to spend $150+ on door handles, lol

 

Better than breaking them every few months lol.

 

It is to damn hot out there for a mostly stock cooling system. On my way home I hit temps closing in on 200 degrees, letting it cool down a little bit and then flushing the coolant since I don't know when the last time it has been done. The temp spiked after a big back fire and my radio cut off so it might not have gotten hot at all, but at least it didn't overheat.

What is the best ratio for coolants in the hot summer? I think I am going to park it until it cools down some just in case though.

 

Give or take 5%
75% water/25% antifreeze mix for summer driving

 

i took the manifold off the turbo then the manifold to engine looking for an exhaust leak. the sad thing is i found it lol
