UPDATE!!!!
engine is looking a bit bigger now! been painting up the waterpump housing and lower inlet mani etc!
all the mani etc is only loosely bolted on, just seeing what it looks like, need to get the gaskets etc for the water pump before i can bolt it up, also gonna replace all the nuts...
tbh the market of 200's is getting cheap, i have seen really nice high end modded cars sell cheap... and stock ones even cheaper... rx7's looked to be going that way but now seems like the market is picking up :) always found with 200's the more you mod them they dont really make more money...
i ran them for a bit and was happy with them... but then had it solid bushed... and had a s13 diff housing with nismo pro gt 2 way fitted and that was solid mounted too made so much noise lol!
rear subframe is easy, buy some subframe collars they go over the top cost about 30 quid and you leave old bushes in.
lower arm is easy too, blow lamp the rubber out, cut the metal ring out, bit of threadded bar to pull new bush through...
rear anti rollbar is so easy my mum could do it, and...
mate you want a walbro to be number 1 on your list for things you need, it wont add any power to the car but trust me i have seen sooooo many sr20's go pop because they havent been running the walbro, dont and i mean DONT boot it hard in 4th or 5th, anything over 80-90 will be leaning out to...
chris, is it a kaaz 2 way? if so that will explain why your not enjoying it so much, they lock very very hard! 2 ways take alot of getting used to, you have to change your driving style completely, tbh if its your first rwd car its the last thing you want to be driving with, while they are...
he crashed due to the track! there was something majorly wrong just past the line, there was something like 5 cars crash that day! i have seen the odd car tank slap and smack the wall, but never seen that many crash or hear of that many crash! pod didnt seem to give a f**k either from what i...
guy i know james wilday, some of you may know him he was pretty big in the renault 5 gtt scene a couple years back, he sold his gtt and got a rx7...
begining of the year he set the fastest road legal 1/4 mile record!
9.98 seconds, bearing in mind most of the work was done by himself...
nick, i love the ohlins, they feel like stock shocks but slightly firmer and the ride the give is amazing, 2 way fully adjustables they just work so well!
tom, no mate, havent been those ways in a while... and the car been off the road for 4 or 5 weeks now.
the tein springs are the old settup i was using i now have ohlins coilovers now, the tein springs are going to a mates rx7 as the shocks are shagged and he wants to lower his car... but he is being long coming to collect them lol!
if your ever in the area again give me a knock and if im in you...
yeh upper rissington... ha nick that was prob my mum! thanks :D
once you find all the hidden hoses and stupid clips to disconnect, undo the bell housing, undo the 2 nuts that are on the engine mounts it swang out in 10 mins lol! rest of the day was spent stripping the old engine to take parts...
engine is out :D
got pretty much everything (except turbo the volcano has fucked up that getting here) so just gotta clean parts and paint some stuff, i will post up pics tomorrow of the other parts going on :)
hang on read your last post saying it wouldnt go above 3k? you paid for a car that had a problem? hope you got it cheap... if it wont go over 3k and then ends up soundling like a machine gun loosing all power, you have a boost leak, the maf is going nuts and putting it in limp mode... or fuel...
no one knows, but he says he is pushing the porting further than anyone else has... bearing in mind the biggest ports done in the uk was in his drag car and thats stupid power, i think he will be well over 700 bhp.... the engine is dropped like 8" lower than stock.... and a foot back! he is...
lol he is nuts! if you have seen him in his drag car you would know that lol...
this is a pic of the new drift car he is building.... this is the first pic he showed...
he followed it up with this....
pink rx7 in the workshop...
the man himself... no idea why no one hasnt photoshopped...
the guy driving the black rx7 is ross he owns dragon motorsport... the guy is nuts i called him once and he had the entire convo with me in a high pitched voice... thats his f**k about car that he drives to drift as he says he doesnt have the tallent to drive their new main car.
bungs are actually pretty bad for the engine too, creates a load of backpressure you dont want or need, and puts loads of heat in to the exhaust and engine...
dont get a bung it will be like driving a clio again, it kills the performance its terrible!
look at either getting a centre section with a bigger silencer in it, or get an apexi exhaust valve...
and if you go to a stock diff your a pussy lol.
he is slightly unhinged... he is building another propper drift car (which he wont be driving thank f**k lol) and whilst taking build pics instead of showing people what they wanted to see, he took pictures of bits of wood, or set the car on fire and took a pic lol! or got his mate to get his...
