got some love from UPS today!!

The Kirk Racing Roll Bar, and the last of the fittings i needed to finish up the fuel system arrived today

this weekend will be loads of fun!!!

 

the lift queen is almost done!!! should be firing her up this week!!! 2 more fittings, just 2 more fittings!!! the anticipation is killing me!!!!!

 

one stunning FD!

 

Amazing progress dude!!! I think the body to week fitment is perfect! Awesome stuff man!

 

Now thats an FD!

 

Well duty calls and i wont be able to finish the car this weekend

I have to help out some of friends at Simply Clean 4 out in Orlando, FL

But shes just about ready to start
got everything for the fuel system, so i'll be putting that all together on sunday
and also modifying the oil drain line from the top turbo which i found was touching the manifold

then my engine builder will be coming to the house sometime next week to plug up the wiring harness and starting her up

hopefully i'll get to tune her on friday of next week!!

got to take some motivational pics today that i thought i'd share with you guys lol

 

finally have some updates for you guys!!

well good and bad updates sadly

the good is that the motor is all put back together...

i ran into a massive oil leak because of the rear oil return flange on the block, turns out there was an edge there i couldnt see and the flange ending up resting on the flange and didnt seal against the block, so i had to grind down an excessive edge on the flange and put it back together...everything is perfect with that now

I also made my first attempts at starting which didnt work LOL!! didnt really expect more than that though lol

it sounds like the motor is flooded so i'm going to pull the EGI fuse and turn it over a couple times to get rid of the excess fuel, clean up the plugs and give it another shot tomorrow

PICS AND VIDEO!!
the last pic of just the exhaust smoking which was pretty cool lol

 

well....i think i found the reason why she didnt want to start... LMAO!!

 

Well i swapped out the plugs and BOOM she fired right up!!

 

Got my Shine Carbon Fiber Aero Undertray

theres nothing like opening boxes of carbon fiber to take your mind off of finals LOL!!

 

got the headlight finally...the only lamp i found that i really like and still gives me enough room on the inside of the headlight bucket to run my ducting to the turbos she looks so mean!!

 

well what can go wrong did go wrong...

Lost the compression on the rear rotor, dropped all the way down to 40 psi

its so weird, the motor was running really strong and well everytime i started it up and let it idle at my house...then the first time we start it up at the tuners shop, no compression on the rear rotor...

nothing changed at all from when we had it at my house, to when we got there...so strange

heres some pics of the drive up there and a video of what she sounded like when we were there

 

Epic build buddy. I had a Turbo II till few years ago. Saving to get a TT now but they are expensive here... sub

 

Nice i love rx7

 

Read this build from the start. Lovely build but I am sad to hear about the rear rotor losing compression. I hope its not too expensive to remedy
