I'm down...we gotta go back and get that one that got away from you. Bastard pulled a cheap move wrapping around the anchor chain. He won't be so lucky next time.

Windows work now, it turns out the drivers side plug that connects by the driver kick panel wasn't plugged in all the way. Still having the weird turn signal issue though. Which is weird cause it didn't do it before...

Need a nappa ac condensor now though..and the hard line that goes from the condensor to the drier

Hah!

I've got quite a few; including Abu Garcia's, some Brownings. However, my gear isn't stout and/or heavy duty for large, salt water fish. Mine are primarily used for large mouth bass. I use 25lb test monofilament.

Since this thread has become the Houston's chat thread...lol, i figure i'd add some updated pics for your entertainment

Getting closer to completion. It's a bit of pain to find oem parts to complete the interior but I did it. Need a couple more parts to complete it. Have quite a few random electrical issues to figure out. But it was great to finally be able to drive her down the street (put .4 miles on her so far)

Well I got the fc running today. After a week of waiting on a S5 ecu due to the other one biting the bullet. I opened it and saw a chip T MP4501 was toasted. Also I Fixed the leaking water pump and changed the omp. Now its purring like a kitten. A new clutch wouldnt be bad or someone to help me try and bleed the brakes. Funny How I found the ecu.. the dude who had the black 91 secret stash parts car had it. ie junk yard.. So i went to check out the parts car this morning and it was gone. DAMN!!! Dude sold a clean 91 no motor 400.00 bucks. I mean CLEAN!! So i was leaving after not seeing my parts car, Just when I was pulling out I said wait let me see what else this dude has maybe stashed.. so I got back out of the jeep and went back inside and said hey? Do you have a 1991 ecu Mazda Rx-7 NON Turbo? He looked back at me and said eh? Yeah I do. I was like what the FU@K? 30 bucks. LOL he wanted 50 but I had 30 cash. LOL Oh My phones smashed the car rolled over it. Should have comms. by monday.

This may have already been discussed (lazy, don't feel like going back to look), but are you going to paint it SSM or do a color change?

Tuan your car is ready. all you need is the stick shift bushing. It really wont work worth a damn with out it. Also all I have to do thats left is bleed the system and it will be done. So can you get the part? Just call the dealer and ask for the stick shift bushing kit. Thanks Trying to get it done so you can drive it to the meet tomorrow. The old trans didnt have the bushing either. Im wondering if that was the cause of your not being about to shift properly??? Anyways the new trans is in.
