Nice to see it coming along and that you got it running ok.

This is mine and Dave RX-7 83's old car which we were going to strip for parts but luckily Taner was after a project so another FB has been saved!

I think we have decided that we will breaking the FB. Casey I\'ll send you an email to see if you\'re still after any bits. Once the car is in the garage ready to break I\'ll put up a proper post

Maybe when we get it into the garage we\'ll have a change of heart. It\'s just too many projects I think!

Well a quick update on this one, after much consideration we have decided to break our FB. The MOT failure list was quite long and we don\'t seem to be getting on too fast with fixing it. I\'ll get a proper breaking post up soon, but if people have any parts requests please let me know

Thanks David, this one ok? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_222101_langId_-1_categoryId_255220

ok cheers mate

We\'ve recently replaced the diff on our \'83 FB.

What is the best oil to put in it? Cheers

ok i\'ll give it a go, thank you!

Right we\'ve started unbolting bits, haven\'t had any nightmare bolts so far! What is the procedure for removing the half shafts? Cheers

will do thanks

Yes it does, thank you for the help

oh i don\'t think the ones on there will need compressing, they\'re held in with jubilee clips! cheers

Thanks for the help. Does the axle need dropping to change the springs?

Well it all looked sort of one piece to me, i admit I haven\'t really studied, the car\'s too bloody low to look under. So i\'m up for advice on how to do it really. I have a whole rear axle with standard diff

Well it\'s been a while since my last post so i thought i\'d do a quick update.
The FB spectacularly failed its MOT test last year, needs a bit of welding, so we\'ll be trying to get all the work done over the next couple of months so we can enjoy a bit of the summer. If anybody met us at Rotorstock 2010, then you\'d have known there were 3 of us that owned the car together. Tragically Tom was killed in a motorcycle accident earlier this year, so we\'re going to get the car back on the road as a bit of a memorial. We\'ll keep you posted on the progress
