Hi,

thanks for the response, I'll have a re-think


Cheers

Just looked at the VIN at the paint code is PZ

Got my car up in a number places but got no comments on it

Anyone got a feeling on if this is over priced for what I thought was very reasonable considering.

I've taken it to it a body shop to get quote for sorting the front end out.

If I get chance, I could fit the rad and get the pillow balls done or should I just sell the "stuff" separate and lower the price of the car.

Getting silly quotes for insuring the car with 500 mile limit, just so I can finish it off. Shame there isn't a hybrid laid up policy where I can drive it up the road.

Any comments appreciated

Thanks

Time to say bye to the RX7, growing family requires an estate of sorts. The WIP was leading towards high flow twins or single turbo, for track use or maybe hill climbing. Neither ever been seen.

It's currently running at 322BHP (mapped by WGT in Oct '14) at the flywheel on a good working set of standard twins.

The car is used daily to trundle to the train station and the occasional blip on a weekend. I love driving it and it never fails to please. If I had more time I’d finish it off first but life is passing me by.

It’s had a spell in dry storage when I last moved house for a couple of years and then it was brought out of retirement last October.

Happy to take any question and update the post if I’ve missed key information that other would find helpful.

I’d rather sell everything below in one go, mainly to save me the hassle but also because it would finish off the car.

1992, Manual, Type X (twin oil coolers) Electric Sunroof, Cruise Control & all Standard Type R features. I am the 3rd registered owner since the car was imported by the fist in in 2004. Always maintained and serviced regularly. MOT until October 2015. Registered as 1308cc.
1400 miles since last service and tune and WGT, masses of receipts.

Exhaust
WGT Twin Pipe Stainless steel exhaust de-cat
AutoExe Down pipe, looks like a work of art

Wheels

Body
Veilside side skirts
99 Spec rear spoiler

Bonus Stuff
Fully rebuilt engine with 3mm tips. Currently covered estimated 25,000, this was done by the first owner who ran up 19,000 miles, the second owner used it to travel to work locally. I didn’t cover many miles (maybe 1k) before swapping it out the street ported engine.
Apexi Power FC ECU, Mapped by Re:Works for the engine above. No commander and the port was not responding when last used, believed to be correctable, FDUKers have offered in the past to assist, I just didn't get round to it.
Mazda Speed A-Spec Bumper. Removed as it had crack mid-lower and parking at work was impossible, requires attention.
Stainless Steel exhaust, unknown brand sounds awesome, removed due to early morning starts and unappreciative family and neighbours (4am not good)
Brand new and unopened full set of uprated pillow bushings and dust caps
Brand new unopened Koyo N-Flow Rad + cap (£340)
Brand new unopened Apexi Replacement Filter x2 (£110)
Brand new unopened HKS Turbo Timer and Harness (£115)
Brand new unopened pack of 4 BUR9EQ
Battery holder for boot
Standard rear spoiler
Standard miscellaneous parts surplus to requirement

It has jobs to be done which are, replace 1 pillow bushing (full set bought, might as well do the lot).
Tidy up slam panel rust and light surround or replace with a DM Motor sport slam panel was my intention (see pictures) It’s where the water runs down the bonnet, very annoying, the rest of the car is spot on for a car over 2 decades old.
Tidy up wiper arms
fix loose cruise control button.

Looking for £8,000 ono for the lot

For those struggling with boost issues this is a really good guide
http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-7/TurboTroubleshooting.htm

Ladies and gentleman we have boost!

And in my defence it was the professionals who last last touched that side of the engine and it was pitch black by the light of my phone when I was investigating earlier on.

It appears the intercooler out had popped off the throttle body elbow.

Please file under doh!

Cheers will have a poke around this evening.

Hello all,

It's been a while and was getting back on with the FD after getting it back on the road. Finished off a load of jobs (ok so maybe WGT did), aeromotive fpr, BNR32 fuel pump, bigger injectors. The mapping session blew an engine seal which was replaced and following that the turbo seals but it should be fine to use NOT!

I was expecting Matthew Kelly to tap on the window when sat in traffic and seeing as I was likely to get pigged, away the FD went again.

Second hand twins bought from minotaur racing and fitted a couple of weekends ago, which is a pig of job but all good. Not really given it the beans but it appeard to be behaving. Idle issues but seeing as its been stood for ages i wasnt surprised and it settled after a few runs. Happy chappy.

This morning i was pootling along in no hurry, came off a large round about in 3rd put my foot down and nothing, dropped it to 2nd and nothing. Im sure I could here the turbo spooling ever sp slightly but less than zero boost.

Checked the vac pipes by phone light and couldnt see any popped off. There isnt that many to remove when swapping the twins out, maybe 8 or so and they all look good.

Other than double checking these tonight (would a leaky vac pipe really cause zip all boost?) any other suggestions?

Will i cause any damage a couple of miles a day while i get this sorted?

Cheers

Other folks have spotted that these turbos actually belong to a Cosmo!

nice

But I\'m now looking for a turbo pack again

Morning all,

does anyone know if there are differences in the stud patterns between early and later versions of the FD twin turbo pack?

I ordered a used set off fleabay and what has arrived doesn\'t resemble the picture for starters but it\'s very similar at first glance. There appears to be only 3 studs on the exhaust side instead of my 4 and there are 9 stud holes on the engine side compared to my 8. Any ideas?

Cheers

epic FAIL, it\'s a no go on the 54mm socket.

Common phrases used where along the lines of "wtf do you need that for" and "Are you working on a rigid chassis class dumper truck"

You could try the garage round the back of spar, the lads have swapped an alternator pulley for me and didn\'t want payment, also refused my offering of a bacon buttie.

I\'ve also been advised that you need a 3/4" drive as a 1/2" based socket won\'t be up to the job. You might know better or someone else could advise you on here.

Sorry I couldn\'t be of help.

What socket size are you after, I might be able to borrow one tomorrow evening.

Simple way to check the figure you need to hit is by using the directgov site for vehicle enquires

I have a \'92 import and the report back states my CO2 emissions are zero so no testing for me.

I also checked a random \'06 911 turbo to make sure this tied up and it states 302g/km

Hi all,

as per the title has anyone got a Blitz FMIC (for starters) with a standard radiator?

The FMIC is second hand and came only with the mounts for the FMIC itself, everything else I will need to make up.

The standard radiator when bunched up to the FMIC is extremely low which is worrying. I can\'t tilt is back due to the twin oil cooler pipes and the fan assembly.

I will need to make up two hangers for the top of the radiator and a plate to extend the current the bottom hanger to sit the radiator on\\in.

Has anyone got any pics or advice on this?

Cheers
