G, have you heard of the expression CRAZY MONEY!!!!!?????
After you are done with your RX13, you won't drive it, because Obozo is going to take it away to pay for your "Fair Share".

LOL, taking it step by step. I have been really patient about buying parts and thinking about every single mod l do. Hasn't been way out there yet l think, for example the powdercoating was only $40.00.I don't have that kind of money, l'm a working man.

Thought about it but figured that most of it would be covered up once the engine was completely done and in the car.

If you haven't already done so, out of everything, I'd recommend getting SS oil metering lines while it's all out. No powder coat needed.

Thanks Marshall, I already got to that. They are in the pic just coated in blue. The stock like were all messed up, that thin plastic doesn't hold up well to all those heat cycles for the last twenty years. Should have my new oil injectors tomorrow, I got a couple of parts that are getting chromed also. Patiently waiting on my turbos.

Nope. Probably won't ever sell. Nobody will pay a penny for a penny these days.

Mr.Chow, you know I am going to disagree, just because I can.
Nobody will pay a penny for an RX13 these days.
The RX13 is a dying breed, living on borrowed time.
Unless, Mazda puts a rotary engine in another Mazda again, it may extend the life.
I think in a Miata would be AWESOME!!!

Since I have the engine out I figured it would be a good idea to change out all those 20 year old coolant hoses and since I got new hoses might as well get new clamps also lol. I'm trying to do it right and do as much as I can since I don't plan to pull this engine again in a while, I HOPE. My plan is too have her back on the road by mid April for IFO in Ennis.
