Do you have regular belts in the car? If not you need to put them back. The strut tower metal is WAY to thin to be mounting harnesses to. Tell you what, hop in your car and yank on that harness, now watch it flex. You get in an accident those will rip right out.

Maybe I explained it wrong. LOL! But I tried pulling on them, and they are definitely TIGHT. Doesnt flex whatsoever. But as far as i can remember, thats where I THINK it is. LOL! I'll double check and let you know for sure. I wont be able to get pics til this weekend though.

Well, buying another car (TII) would be more expensive wouldnt it? What about just buying the TII motor?

it all depends on the car. honestly it might not be very much more expensive and you get everything you need. it will be a lot easier than trying to piece together the swap

In what way?

Ported intake
Waste of time.

5th & 6th port sleeves & actuators removed
Will make your car slower.

All emmissions removed
Rats nest & all associated junk removed
If you really want to...

FC3S.org thermal bypass pellet
Don't bother unless you already have the engine taken apart.

Racing oil press. regulator
Not really necessary, but go for it...Or do this:
http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/shimoil.htm

Installed FAL elec. fan
Mazdaracing Alt. pulley
RX7.com Main pulley
Really bad idea to underdrive the alternator while adding an electric fan (or other electrical load).

Oil inj. removed
Why?

Edelbrock Nitrous System
So this may be the reason for the injectors? If that's the case, then use a wet system instead.

Custom alum. driveshaft
Why?

Depending on the speed, the body can pull some extreme g's during a crash. There's a BIG difference between that weight transfer and what you're doing by pulling on the belt...

I think then that some real research on your part needs to be done. If you just start doing random things to the car without knowing what they are or why you are doing them, problems will be created.

Understandable. I am trying to figure out what and why it was done to the car. LOL! I'll get you pics of the interior too, so that you guys can check it out.

Its not bad at all though. I love it!!!
