Ok here it is, the Project has started...... :bandit
I see your problem, someones fitted your center plate the wrong way around?? (Third pic) LOL ;)
I tell you what, you\'ve done a nice job on the detailing, i remember seeing your car at Pips (before you bought it) and it was the Built for speed look. Nice Motor M8.
Mate, dunno how to tell you this, but some ****er has had your seals away :( Its never gonna run like that.
What are the plates like in terms of scoring?
you will never get water o rings wide enough to fit those gaps, are you sure you dont want a hand putting it back together
oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :D
How long is it gonna be b4 shes back on the road Dom?
Brett I want her back on the road ASAP naturally. But I have so many things I need/want to do to her for it to be \'how I want it\', that it will take time to do and I also want to enjoy doing it, not rushin it!
I\'ll save the \'rushing\' it for the strip.... :D
I\'ll try updating the thread as I go along with photos etc..
But to answer your question, I have done \'THIS\' (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18405)!
Thought I\'d get a little run about to keep me relaxed in the meantime....
Shame you had to take a step down though mate ;)
Theres always one!!!
you got me all confused there for a moment :xconfused :xconfused i read the thread about your new fd (nice example by the way) then i read the thread about you starting this project, first pic i saw was the red engine bay and i thought NO WAY, he has never done all that since having it has he??, then i noticed the different shock towers and fd uim on your fc :rollin :flamed
You need to raise your \'eye level\' mate... :rollin
Yeah this is the project.. \'FC\'.. the first shot was the engine bay being a bit messy, so I took it all out to clean it all.. :D
Sorry double post, I blame \'Stella\'....... :D
yeah my eye level is only at girls ass level when im in the rex :rolleyes:
why have you got the plastic vernier next to the engine bits ?? were you messuring some lego bricks for the kids.
To measure the \'HYLOMAR\'... :)
oh good. you cant be too carfull with that stuff. do you know different colours are for different applications ;)
Look what came in the post...... \'this lot prolly cost more than Grinders whole car\' :p
i think what goes on in your bedroom should be kept between you and mel. use plenty of vasaline or it might go rusty
And also insert it slowly and correctly... :D
dont fduk have a place for this sort of fd smut. go on, go
Party is about to start....
Wow a full kit?? That must mave cost you.
So has the ie grinder come out to play yet?
Yes not cheap at all, especially with 3 mm seals etc... (could of bought a couple EGI\'s easily)
And yes the grinder/dremel has been working overtime....
Made quite a bit of progress, more than I expected/would like.
Mainly due to some helper monkeys, sorry I meant, some keen friends that kept hanging around begging to help.... which naturally I didn\'t mind as at least I had peeps to make the tea and cakes while I did all the work!
(trex runs and hides as they post on here)
Hows the back!!! LOL When i did my T2\'s porting i had a bad back for a week after :)
>wince< I know how much a seal/gasket set is, let alone the tips etc. (I paid more than I sold my EGI for in rebuild parts..)
Are you replacing the side and corner seals too?
What are the end plates like for wear?
Did you open up the slots in your rotors yourself?
Are the ceaseless questions annoying yet?
etc....
:D
Replacing everything.. all seals
Once replacing new Apex seals you should deffo replace all corner seals etc.
End plates are all great, no wear at all and no corrosion at water areas. Front housing was replaced as had some marks, could of been re-used.
This is a glance of whats to come... (just a dress rehearsal)
oohh looks good
and yeah your parts are prob worth more than both my rx7\'s !
Well no turning back now...
Main engine now put together.
Just the sump and the \'engine breaking-in\' excedy clutch in the pic.. to throw on and hopefully she can be slung in...
WOW - im impressed matey
so did you do this all by yourself - or did you have helpers ?
matey ripped it apart and rebuilt it in NO time! that engine looks nice with the red detail...
Ahhhhhhh, getting closer to it\'s home now.............
Almost there....
TRex is this the first rebuild you\'ve done?
Looks like a mighty fine job their, well done! ;)
Scott
Aahhh You\'ve done my trick. I put oil lines up my drive too. I think its the sign of the RX7!!!
