I think there are a few threads explaining how to do it on rx7club.com although the respeed setup looks a nicer option.

They can do it with a custom rack at about $750 or you source your own based on the rack its built on.

Chatted to them a while ago about it !

I will be selling my exhaust system off my TII fb at some point.As  I am going for a 4"/3.5" piping. All depends on if I can get a 4" over the axle or not. Intrested???

IT RUNS (again)!!! Just been for the first drive (on my private road, naturally), and there are a few things to resolve...

1 - it gets hot. Quickly. Really quickly. Just driving less than a couple of miles, and it was up and over temp. What\'s that about...?? I am going to check the thermostat, but it does seem that the turbo is generating a LOT of heat...

2 - the brakes are still binding. I thought I\'d sorted this one, but clearly not... I may get a second set and rebuild them (bigred?), but by the time I got to the equivalent distance of Brians house, they were smoking...

and it is noisy. And the turbo has briefly (and accidently!) kicked in - christ on a bike it\'s going to be a quick car...!!

bit gritty to start, and it will definitely benefit from a tune (and maybe someone else having a look too...?? Any volunteers??) but it felt WONDERFUL!!!! Still giggling like an insane child on orange smarties in my own head...:cheers:Thumbsup!:Talking1:eek::Viking :guinness:burnout:burnout:burnout:burnout:burnout

OK - looks like I\'ve got to the bottom of the cooling issue - the thermostat is screwed...!!  So is it better to replace it with a stock Mazda part (for an TII RX7), or is there some magical aftermarket thing that I could use instead...??  ((do I need one at all??))

I\'d use a stock Mazda one - it should work well enough.
 
Nice to hear you got it going :cheers

thanks chaps.  Having taken it for a spin to see what else I need to do, it\'s quite clear I\'m still a way from the MOT...  It\'s also clear I may need to put a silencer in it.  My wife heard me start it from about 1/2 mile away...

Thanks chaps - a few pics of some of the work this weekend...

Battery relocation behind the passenger seat.  Need to trim a bit off the bracket - I keep shorting to the frame and +ve terminal and scaring the .... out of myself...

Door skin is a bit baggy and needs to be properly stuck on, but will look the nuts when it\'s done.




The sunroof is trimmed in the same cream as the gearknob gaiter and the door card.  I\'m liking it a lot.  (btw, it\'s one of those jobs where it looks better from a distance or in a dodgy photo... *grin*)

I\'ve rebuilt the brakes (could do with some new rubbers, but otherwise OK), but need a new thermostat.  Will be calling Gary tomorrow methinks...

Shaun - it will be a little bit scary I think...  it\'s on lowest of low boost settings (I was too scared to see what it did boost to)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD weekend!!
