Yeah finally enjoy driving it , i jet wash the car/under it and the arches after i drive it these last few weeks to get rid of as much grit as possible.

To be fair it doesnt go far probably 30 miles a week.

Just hit 31,800 miles on the clock  .

Car was stalling out at idle when warm, bought a multimeter and checked the tps and when i check it was out, so i set that up again now she doesnt stall out at warm idle anymore and neither when i come to a stop . Very pleased with that .

Cant believe this car performs so well and on its original engine without a build specially after it sat unused for 8 years.

Headlight covers look loads better red, good work

Car was hunting at idle ect so ive redone the rats nest with good quality sillicone hoses also replaced a few solenoids i broke.

Fitted a dm motorsports idler pully and deleted the airpump, fitted all blockoff plates, removed aircon pump and pipes as it didnt work anyway. Also found a small water leak behind where the airpump was which was a loose hose.

Now idle is much better no hunting or stalling so far when coming to a stop.

Also have a feed downpipe ready to go on and need to plumb my boost controller back in.

Next jobs are fit my koyo n flo radiator and front mount intercooler, downpipe and boost controller then take it to be mapped somewhere .

Its been back and forth to rx motor in sailisbury for 6 months, ive done less then 1k miles since owning the car haha i do want it 100% working oneday though.

May take it to rotary motion next as its a fair bit closer to me.

Yeah man for sure, thats if mines still working by then, its doing some funky idling at the moment too.

I think this apexi is worse then when it was on the standard ecu haha

I live in paulton, near radstock/midsomer norton, often see a black rx7 driving around and also a white time attack looking one driving about.


I dont mind having the engine built as its within my budget but i dont feel the water seals are gone as none of the common signs are there .

Been driving the car to work and noticed the water dropping, recon ive got a water leak somewhere as theres no white smoke on startup , no bubbling of the coolant and no smoke while im driving either

The passenger footwell is wet though . Could the heater core be dripping as its been sat 8 years maybe degraded ?

Ive checked all other pipework ect cant see anything unusual .


What do you guys think?

Around 10 minutes driving id say it was before it cut out While i was edging forward in traffic.

Such an awesome car though im guna live with the issues for a bit so i can just drive it 

Oo yes she sounded so nice and felt so fast. Still got a couple of issues with it though.

Cut out on me twice now when im just idling at a stand still, also the heat exhaust light will light up for a couple of seconds then go off.

Am i right in thinking this is the apexis way to say theres a fault  somewhere ?

Thanks

Got the car back and took her for a drive down to cheddar, dam this thing feels fast now, its just on the apexi base map at the moment as i do less then 30 miles a week init anyway so should be ok untill next year
When i have the engine rebuilt and then mapped .

Just been through the same thing with my fd, previous owner took it off the road and it sat for 8 years, mines finally on the road now just working out a few small issues.

Hope everything goes well .

Apexi ecu bought this morning and will be on route to tim asap

Cars been dropped off at rx motors to have fuel filter, gearbox oil change and some faults looking at, also if i manage to find an apexi fit that and set it up for me.
