nice... looks like it's practically complete... can i have your center dash panel

 

How is the steering?

 

noice

 

Chris, I want those wheels. They are so close to what I have on the 2nd gen it's not even funny. Before you cut up the widebody you found, maybe you should see if someone will by it as a shell.

 

few things need to be fixed like the headlight wireing
can i use a 1st gen speedo cable??

but scott i wont those flare's on my car !!!!!!

 

fixed the headlights well kinda i now have indicators in the front and back but the side lights arnt going
i now have headlights but only highbeams need to read throught the fsm for this one


any one have ideas on the speedo cable?

 

i bought a new speedo cable on ebay years ago. can't remember if it was for a b1600 or not. rx7........honestly never compared it. a good junkyard trip.

 

Don't you have a 1st gen cable laying around, maybe from the parts lot with the last 7 you bought

 

nah the cable was brittle and broken bit of a bummer
just waitin on the p.o to send me the socket for the lug nut then i can fix me breaks yay

 

my boss has a blue 1. if i knew how to put the pics on here i could show ya

 

damn that repu is in very good over-all good condition..seems like everyone is finding repu's..good luck with the project!

wow kool...........i got a yellow one....

 

help im trying to change my slaves on my drum brakes

which way am i supposed to turn the adjusters to losin the brakes i have turned them anti clockwise alot on both and the damn drum still wont come off... any pointers..

also on one i cant get a set screw out "can i just drill the screw out?? and not worry bout replacing it?

 

the drums need to be pressed out with those screws, or if you can get a drum pulled from the local parts store it will have a slide hammer to get them off.

 

Congrats on your repu. I have a 75 repu which I am working on. It gets more looks than my brothers rx7. I think it great.

 

this would explain why i cant knock the bastards off might have to take me truck to a mechanic for this one

Good find!
