The resurrection of a King (ReAmemiya Rx7 Fc3s)

[liamcrowley]

Soo most people probably have an idea who I am or more likely know my cars so I'm gona skip straight to the car!:cool:

Some of the older generation rotary heads will probably recognize this car and very possible know to last owner.
Plans for this car are very simple, put it back together!:thumbs:

I bought the engine out of this car last year to put into my rx8 and as some people know it is now in my rx8, but for the greater good it's being pulled out and returned to its rightful home in this fc.

It doesn't need much at all just a little bit of tlc and it will be as good as new!

Sooo on the the pictures...

very good, gonna follow this :)

[Kruizer]

Awesome fella, great FC, the only thing I never liked about it was the spoke wheels but they are gone so happy days :)

[LarZ]

I heard about this car. Great to see it getting TLC and fair play for putting the same engine back in :) Can't wait to see this out and about!

[subzero]

the engine that was in this was from the purple rx7 c-rex owned that did like 380hp at .6 boost iirc . some beast.

Ya that's the one, I have quiet a few bits off c-rex's car, the lad I bought this off bought his car after he crashed it!

[JohnC]

Yes! Another FC to watch! Getting bored of mine sitting in the garage for over 18 months

[jdmjimmy]

Alot of potential with this love the exhaust .. look forward to seeing it complete

[liamcrowley]

So I managed to get a bit of work done to this yoke recently, i do plan on having it finished in a few weeks!:cool:

Most importantly the engine and box is back in.:D


I also made a manifold to suit my setup, kinda interesting the way I mocked it up with an engine crane and builder twine!:p
