My project RX7

[FD3UK]

If the drivers side bolster is un damaged I would be interested in the front seats.

[Jono FD3]

What sort of price would you bve looking for the leathers & have you got the rest of the red interior to go with it?

Oh yea.... any chance of some deasent shots of the seats?

Sorry, missed the new comments, ok well I will be selling everything that\'s red in the car, even the seat belts etc, I honestly can\'t stand it! everything works fine on the seats and I\'d rather sell as a complete set, what I\'ll do is strip all the other bits from it tommorow and I\'ll get some decent pics up:)!

whats the rear bumper addon in the black car pic with the hude wing? also would the rear diffuser still fit with that on?

cheers..

[Roy]

good luck with your project

Ok extra pics of the leather, there\'s a couple of tears in the rears but defiantely repairable, fronts have no splits and passenger side is in very good condition, drivers side has worn and could do with retrimming.

if anyone is intersted then give me an email @ tomdrap7athotmail.com

Like I say I\'m planning on getting rid of every bit of red trim, so if someone wants the whole thing then let me know,

cheers Roy!

The red car looks awesome

Good luck with your project, im hoping to have my own project sorted by about the same time as yours next year

Ok another update,

Well removing the flywheel was nice and easy and only a 2 sec job thanks to air tools that were available then I started removing turbo\'s etc, this took a good hour which was pretty good, the turbo\'s have a little shaft play in them but I think I\'ll ditch them for a single.

From here I started to remove boost pipes from hell but then could see that just undoing a few nuts pulled the whole section out :rolleyes: anyway here\'s a pic of the engine ready to be stripped apart



and to work with the tension bolts, I really wasnt prepared for the amount of coolant still in there once undone! doh! you\'ll need a lot of paper towels!!!



Ok from here I could prise the housing apart and look at what went bang, from looking at the rotor it\'s seems that one of the apex seals had broken apart and caused the nasty scrapes on the rotor and housing, I think I\'ve seen much worse pictures on the web of this though.





I had to finish up for the day there but I\'m hoping the front rotor/housing is ok so i\'ll get some pics of that up this week!

I\'ve searched a little for prices on rebuild kits but havent really found any guide prices,that and a new rotor and housing, hopefully it wont be too expensive!

Ok, well I havent been able to get to the other rotor yet as I can\'t seem to be able to remove the eccentric shaft nut!!! this is even with airtools, so it looks like I\'ll need to be applying some heat to remove this! problem I came across though is that it looks like I\'ll be needing new housings,rotors, well the lot really and this from a bit of searching is way over my budget for the moment,so not sure what to do! I may even stop where I am and have to break the thing!:confused:

[Travis]

Ahh i remember ya off the mkivsupra board mate:D sold my supe and went rex as well lol;) i was mr keef on there...

Yeah I love the 99 look, I love near stock and sublte styling, to prove, this was my old supra





there\'s just something about the vertex kit, as said it\'s not normally my taste but it seems like it\'s only the RX7 that can pull off the big wing and styling imo.

[Tdraper]

Yep hi Travis, sadly breaking this rex though, wouldnt have been very cost effective in the end which is a shame, i\'ll be buying another though, on a side note I\'ve still been unable to get the eccentric shaft nut off to get to the other rotor! lol, it just won\'t budge!

[R1Dude]

36" stiltons on the pully wheel and a scaffold pole on the breaker bar, I thought it would be easier to take off than the other nut but my air gun wouldn`t budge it either!! it damage the pully though.
