i think it already looks one of a kind.. but keep us posted
looking forward to see how it comes along.. best of luck with it

Will do.....just waiting to get it back from Yowdy! Cant wait - first time fabricating extra lock hubs for an rx7 i think so prob a bit more work than normal

[skinnynphats200]

Small update of a little work I done, full service, oils, filter, coolant, power steering fluid, spark plugs, bushes, drop links, front mount, alloy rad etc...

Pics are from phone so are pretty shit...

So got in here bout 2 weeks ago.....



Then I picked these up...front mount from Mano off here brand new in the box Sound dude! and the rad from Jap Performance



Some Parts from Mazda....



Got this welded on to the rad for the fill pipe from coolant bottle



Front end and old bits out... incl. the last of the air con



Relocated the battery to the boot aswell



New bits fitted and back together



The wand from Just Jap



Got extra lock hubs made up and fitted aswellbut I still need to get new modified lower arms fabricated and put in rack spacers because the calipers are hitting of the lower arm and acting as a bump stop so full lock cant be obtained yet! Will post up the pics when I get that sorted

Next to go on is Walbro pump, de cat, downpipe, going TDP for map end of the month, then suspension setup and start sliding!

Been a while and haven't done much on this due to moneys being low and getting broken into.

Fitted a new throttle body.
Collecting and fitting new downpipe and decat tomorrow from Jap Performance.
Compression tested the other night as there no point in mapping a fooked rotary, it turns out the 13b is in good condition so I booked it in to be mapped on the 19th at TDP.
A few little niggly bits to sort out after that but hopefully should be out for mondello next month with some good power

Looking forward to seeing the results of the mapping and seeing how it goes around Mondello.

[skinnynphats200]

Yeah I dont really know what power to expect from it or what it should achieve???
But more than anything I want it to run smooth and be reliable
