Has a red very for sale, mint condition

Great find for the sunroof!!!

Was planning of get a fibreglass one from for my FC. But the mx3 option is a lot cheaper!

Hi,

seem to have lost the bolts that hold the rear callipers onto the hubs...

Just wondering if anyone has any spare or knows the sizes/thread etc of these bolts

Cheers,

i would get a double alternator pulley.
my belt was squeeling, then the day i tightened it was the day it snapped.

i think its a good plan to change the thermostat and temp sensor. did you have a feel of the rad hoses? were they cold also? if cold most likely blocked thermo.

if a new thermo doesnt solve the issue i would flush the rad and see if its blocked.

if the problem continues i would look at the water pump to see if it is actualy pumping anything. although i think even if it was broken, the rad would still get hot by conduction.

kinda seems like the issue is with the thermo not opening, therefore no coolant to rad therefore cold

nice! you get them from driftworks?
Dual tech, or mono?

need a set of coils myself but saving the monies is the hard bit, keep spending it on other we bits an bobs lol

hand brake should work with out needing to bleed brakes.
i have all the brake lines off my FC currently and is just being held by hand brake

have a look at the manual and adjust the handbrake

page 49 onwards

is the engine dead? thought i read on your build it had 100psi compression?

the probe actually just slots between the rad fins. have not fully tested it out yet to see where is best to mount.
but i think i read online that just needs to be top corner, where the upper rad hose is, somewhere around there should be the hottest point- not sure if this is correct.

you could slide the probe into the rad itselft, under the rad hose. but i didnt like that idea, as thought it wouldnt get a good seal, and i didnt want to risk the probe breaking and flying around the coolant system

i bought this for my set up.

just wired it up with a maxi fuse and relay

used this as a guide for wiring - http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/efaninstall.htm
i chose to use the 1st wiring diagram, so the fan will stay on after the car is switched off, to help cooling

Tested it out today, it is a themo switch.

But it turns on at such low temps. So is pretty much on all the time.
So will need to replace it with a thermo switch with a higher temp setting, or a variable one.

Also noticed a small oil leak from the omp block off plate, seems on of the screws isn\'t catching any thread so is loose.

i have a series 4 rad in my car and i think it might have a thermo stat switch??

is that one? or is that something else?

breaker yard wanted stupid money for the c180 fan. wanted £180 lol.

so just ordered a 16inch ebay fan - states supplys >200CFM and was only 26 quid including postage.

on another note - i read that MK1 MR2 fans are a decent fit

thanks grinder! i remeber reading this now also since you mention it. found it in the interchangeable items thread.
will try get hold of a c180 fan and see how it goes

thanks
