Don't know about 10's yet #1...

I think the driver needs more practice before that happens...

New 88 Rx7 TII in the Central Florida area. I bought it as a non working Rx7 two weeks ago and just got it running two days ago!

Today, I just finished replacing the gear oil in the MT, doing an oil change, installed a new fuel filter, and installed a new air filter.

New on my list of things to do is to check the fuel pressure regulator, check the injectors, check the compression, and a visual inspection of the turbocharger.

Been at Phil's putting everything back together. Got the new radiator in, had to fabricate mounts to get it to sit low enough to fit the intercooler.

Yesterday i order all new fan relays just because the rubber mounts were broken. Also picked up a new relay for my lights i was having a flickering issue on the lights and turnout to be that the relay was on his way out.

Thinking about ordering a spare shorthblock.

It ran! After a year of sitting apart it started right up no hesitation at all. Need to fix a couple things and I can drive it again. Phil is awesome!

Finally got my 1st interior piece back in after all the re-wiring, tucking, battery relocation, floor re-matting, speaker installing, and dynamat laying. It took a while :-)

finally got the stoptechs on
had to trim some of the dust shield/cooling duct, but other than that...really straight forward easy installation
I also got to measure the cars for wheels finally too now that the brakes are on

looks like my setup will be 18x10 front, and a 18x11.5 rear
should be able to do a 3.5" steplip in the front and a 4.5" steplip in the rear
