Then I mounted up the pass side Feed skirt, it's carbon fiber. Didn't fool with the drivers side since I'd have to pull it off anyway to get the fender painted up these week anyway.

Last thing I fooled with was mounting the SBG HID's in.

fantastic turn around. Car is looking amazing now.
|
very nice update.
do you know the part # for that elbow rest/storage piece? |
Oh my God. I have been reading this thread for over an hour now. Very beautiful build. Excited for when you get this beauty on the road.
|
Got to say, I absolutely love this interior, Austin's work looks amazing :cool::icon_tup:.
You'll love the Sakebomb lights, the output is excellent. |

Looking good :icon_tup: Interested to see how your front wheels fit with stock fender, I got some 17x9 +15 and I'm debating if I should get wide fenders.
+18 is not going to fit a stock fender. |
With every update, I hate you a little more.
It's mostly jealous rage, but your car is turning out FAPTASTIC. Vince |

Well, a few things to mention. Selling off all my parts to help raise a little funds. I'm going to swallow a big pill and buy the Greddy V mount for stock twins. Looking right at $3000 for this. Exactly what I paid for the entire car if you can believe that! So I have a Greddy 2 row front mount with a koyo rad for sale, also selling a full PFS IC and I take set up... Lastly, I bought a pair of knightsports mirrors a few days ago. I thought thy match the rims and street diffuser pretty well. This car is starting to look like the bat mobile. |
Well I got sick of looking at this fender so I went ahead and started on it tonight. I rolled the lip on the fender and then I got the most of the fill work done. I sprayed a few coats of primer on it before walking away from it. I'll finish that and seal it out tomorrow. Might not get the clear on it until this weekend.

Just in case anyone needs one, You can still get new OEM hood cables from Malloy for around $25.
https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3857/...319b44aa_b.jpgIMG_8187 by iojinxoi And I went ahead and installed the two gauges I am going to have. These are Autometer GS gauges. They are a dead match on the JDM OEM green interior lights. I have these in my Jeep and they are awesome. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5519/...dcc239dd_b.jpgIMG_8160 by iojinxoi https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5510/...93fee327_b.jpgIMG_8162 by iojinxoi |

It's mostly jealous rage, but your car is turning out FAPTASTIC. Vince I picked up a hood latch cable the other day too. Heck of a deal. I'm thinking of picking up a new throttle cable as well. Both of mine were pretty chewed up. BTW, how did you attach your CF sides under the car? |
They bolt on to the bottom.

Thanks, Nick |
Did you get them from shine auto? The last set I bought from them I had to use self tapping screws and I was just wondering how you did it cuz I don't really like drilling my car.

They have holes for stock locations. |
I got the base color laid on the fender this past Friday. My catalyst for the clear coat is old though since i bought it last summer and I don't trust it. That being the case I had to order some on Friday since I can't find this stuff locally. The fender looks great but I am waiting on supplies to get the clear on it.

So then I switched gears and jumped on the long block. I went ahead and stripped it down. I sold the 93 turbos off of it and shipped them out Friday. I am replacing every coolant line on the block, the engine harness, vacuum hose tie-wrap and maybe remove a few items such as the OMP, AWS, Double throttle etc... The oil pan needs to come off and be resealed also. It's leaking.
I'm not exactly sure on my plans for this yet to be completely honest. It's been over 11 years since I have had a twin turbo set up on an RX7 so I have forgot some of the bits on the manifold and I need to read up on and re-fresh my memory. My old car was bare bones. I removed everything non-essential off the manifolds. This time I want the car to run and idle as close to stock as possible. Anyway, doing the tie-wrap job brought back some old school memories. Behold this mess... https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3902/...48d9ceb2_b.jpg#fd3s by iojinxoi The vacuum lines were pretty much petrified. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3894/...71cbe727_b.jpgIMG_8358 by iojinxoi The engine hardness, Oh excuse me I mean harness is going out the window as well. A brand new one is $800 at Malloy. I'll be calling in that order on Monday. I have two older ones for sale if anyone needs a spare. Okay so 30 min or so and one Red Bull later... https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3857/...4100a07f_b.jpgIMG_8374 by iojinxoi https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3869/...0caff63c_b.jpgIMG_8373 by iojinxoi https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2918/...8b942198_b.jpg#fd3s by iojinxoi |
Then I broke open a can of old school 2002 and did a tie wrap job on the rats nest. I had a spare from my old car which made this go really fast when I had a reference. Cleaned off all the grime on the solenoids and the rack. Resprayed the rack too.
