Never mind.......... lol

 

have you ever tried to drive a car on a track without power steering for hours?

You need realy strong arms to be able to do that, i know you get better feeling with the road by driving without, but its worth to have a little less felling with the road by making it a little more comfortable to drive. this car will also be used on the road so good to have some comfort in it

 

Your completly right about that!! I never thought about having to drive it for hours on end at max speed. Sorry bout that......

 

got the parts for the brakes today, and also got the intercooler in to the car, made some mounts for it.

 

getting closer now!!!

brakes are in, the oil-lines and oil cooler is in the car, finished of the exhaust manifold today!!

Fuel line within a few days, then the radiator and startup!!

 

sexy mani very sexy .

 

Got some pictures from the weekend now.

The oilpump, hoses and oil-cooler is now in its place and hooked together.



Then I have the brakes done, all working fine, a little picture of the brake master-pumps.



The exhaust manifold is all done so its just to put it on to the car, but have no time right now since I have to go to work, here you have a picture of the wastegate:



And the just a few other pictures that my girlfriend took of my car this weekend:

 

Be careful with hose clamps on the oil lines, Roar. I speak from experience

 

By using to tight clamps then?

 

think i got what you meant now, (slangeklemme:P ) all the pressure hoses is pressed at hydroscand, just the low-pressurelines that have clamps

 

Hrummph hmm
Pics of girlfriend please

 

After seeing this thread for the first time . . . . . . .


You are my new hero for the next 3 hours.





Tell me more about the brakes. I hate the stock brake set up, yours looks much cleaner.

 

The brakes are as following:
I have two master pumps, one for rear brakes, and one for front. theese two pumps are connected with a threaded axle between the pumps and so a normal rod from this axle in to the pedal, the reason with a threaded axle here is beacause then i can adjust the pressure between the front and rear brakes by turning this one or the other side.

comming with a picture later.


Then I also have a hydraulic e-brake that is also connected to the same line as the pump for the rear brakes.

 

huh? why?

 

Nice work on those brakes. How heavy is the pedal? They do not look like a heavily boosted power set up.


RX-7 club man law.

If you mention a girlfriend, lady friend, female friend or wife, or sister or any woman in general, you are supposed to provide a picture for the leg humpers here.
They have all seen my GF, so they leave me alone.

 

Haha, I see, lets see what I can get done tomorrow

 

Holy, you have time to build this monster 7 AND a girlfriend!?!?!?!?! lol

 

thats no problem when you have a girlfriend that helps you in the garage you know

 

AWESOME!!!!!!! She "HELPS" you in the garage huh........... lol

 

i need one of those.....better yet maybe two !!!

 

Things are in progress.

Made a cover over the power steering pump of CF just to hide it and also to protect myself in case of leaks.
First i maked a mold out of an alu sheet, the maked a CF part out of this one.

So, here you have a pic of it.





Also started on fitting in the headlights now, first I made a alu piece that fitted in the hole for the headlights, then i cut a hole in this alu piece so the FD headlight fitted in it, then I attached theese two parts together by using sikaflex, and then i have to use bondo and a lot of time to make everything look good before i make a mold out of it a makes it in CF

first the alu piece attached to the headlight


then some bondo

think you misunderstand now, sex is a totaly different thing :P thats something you dont have to much of when your'e building a car like this one

 

Wicked, I love those style headlights on first gens

 

or it's what you're going to do to that car when it's done..
