Manntis, it's a Triumph GT6.. very rarely seen out driving anymore.. we run a Triumph resto shop and that's pretty much the main kind of car we've got kicking around in all our garages.. oh, and I'd like to apoligize to thecause17 for hijacking his thread..

I wish it worked like that around here

I always get hassled about my 7 sitting in my driveway, my toyota hilux 4x4 chassis sitting in the backyard, and my non-running toyota truck to match in the driveway...

 

Looks like a hard-top Nissan 2000.

 

Thanks Alex, but he already said Triumph GT6. I knew it was British

The BRG one around here is gorgeous.

 

hehe, thats what my yard will look like when I get to Arizona. Every block out there has at least 2 old Z cars, or British cars.

I've already got the 7, and my 71 MGB Sebring roadster to get started.

 

The GT6 makes a great rotary conversion, if one were to do such a thing. Or so I've heard.

yeah is the gt6 for sale though?

Looks fun gotta get one

 

Hey cause... the spacer for the alternator goes on towards the back of the engine.. see how the alternator belt is a tad forwards? I know this because I did that recently after rebuilding my water pump

 

That's right. That belt won't last long.

Sorry about the double post. The forum kept acting up so I left the text in the little box and resent after a couple hours.

 

Sorry, so I dont know my Z cars yet, lol . Im sure its worth more than $100, I was just messing around . But I do know what you mean by him always seeming to low ball people . Oh well. I just wanted a Z car to drop a huge tricked out engine in, maybe supercharged or something .
Hey!! I resemble that remark!! ...Or was it resent?? Hmm...

That, and not only am I somewhat nitpicky, but Ive had my alternator off and on replacing it now so many times now its not even funny .

The GT6 is a pretty good candidate for a 13B swap, but the Spitfire is better IMO. Either way, you have to do something about the diff and rear suspension. They were never intended to take anything like the power of the rotary.
BTW, that looks like a Spit behind the blue Z. What year? And is that yellow LBC a TR?
Very few of the older brit cars could touch an RX7 for performance, but DAMN are they fun!

 

Which ones were the 5-spokes? I don't remember. So you don't have the stock SE wheels anymore? You'll get two pretty much new tires back with these ones, I replaced those two that were really dry rotted. Plus they're repainted now, not a super job, but they look a lot better than they did. I e-mailed you back before, but we know how hotmail is, you must not have gotten it.

I'm not sure why the manifold isn't lineing back up, but I'mgonna disconnect the exhaust further back so I can maeuver it better, and it should be fine.


Thanks guys for pointing out the alt. spacer, I didn't notice. I've had this engine completely stripped and put back together, I have been moreworried about where all the other stuff goes.

Speaking of the title Jim, I got it yesterday. I thought it was my registration for my truck and it turned out to be my title for the 7. So as soon as it's running, I'm putting insurance on it, and getting it ready for the road. And don't worry, I didn't forget about this engine....Hours have been down at my job, and I've been barely gettin by, so I've been slow to get that to you, sorry.


Soon I hope, to be driving this thing....I hate having it sitting in the yard.

I'm also in the middle of replacing the dash. After I'm done,most of the interior will be black instead of red. Should look a lot better.

 

Hey CAUSE17 great news about the title. Told you that guy was a hardass but there has never been any problems in the past...

I still have the black carpet out of the white car and a bunch of interior black pieces. Let me know if you can't find something.

We'll have to get you out to some of the club meetings once your on the road...

Cya.

 

Hardass isn't the word.

I may take you up on that carpet....I redid this carpet, but it still isn't the same as actual black carpet. I also PM'd you about those other wheels. Let me know man. Thanks a lot.

 

Here's some pics of where I'm at with the interior. It's trashed.



Pile 'o' Parts.



New dash....great shape, no cracks, just needs some attention from some protectant to shine it back up.



The essentials, mosc. parts, tape, and Mt. Dew.

 

How come Mountain Dew finds its way into so many 'Lookit my RX-7 Parts' pics? *L*

 

They should start paying for advertising.

 

They are a sponsor.

 

Then where's my money. I broke.
