[McPie]

I thought it was a..., well both will have mazda 929 rotaty powered

[McPie]

It\'s me again
sorry for long silent
God news that project not dead yet

Have a question
 
13B REW engine connect with FC NA manaul gear box
I\'ve checked that it should work, but what to with gearbox indicators....
Will FD ecu run without connected fc gear box indicators or can someone provide me how to to make fd engine run with fd harness and fc na transmistion?

I believe the Na box won\'t clear the Fd\'s flywheel (bigger diameter) you may also need an fd starter.

Best thing is to get hold of a Turbo 2/Fd box or an Rx8 6 speed as they will both bolt up fine.

Off the top of my head i can\'t think of much electrical stuff that goes on the box? (reverse lights being the main one) so in theory it would\'nt take allot to swap the box.

[McPie]

so you offer take TII or RX-8 box or place an FD gera box, wich I also can get with drive shaft and ect. But then I\'ll have to veld more because FC and FD gear connections to body are different. Same as engines 13b rew and 13b NA
 
Reverse light is not a problem can make other wireing for it, bet what about ecu? Ilso woud be intrested to have 6 gears in this project, but as I heard those gears are short so there is no big diference between 5 and 6 gears....
 
oh one more thing I have missing few parts and seeking for
 
Front grill and bumper like in photo

 
from same model rear bumper.
2x of these

 
seeking for chrome parts arround all windows for coupe

 
door handle from both sides
 

 
 
wiper blades with whole mechanics and paner to cover it...

 
this one part

 
oh door panel, both of them. rear left/right side panels,
and headlights
 
I also don\'t have door windows with all mechanics and I need rear smaller windoes with all mechanics. And rubber arround all doors.

[McPie]

can someone provide how diferent mounts are from FC FD and RX-8 gear boxes...
 
can I use na flyywheel on 13b rew engine and TII clutch kit on it?
 
This is not the way to save some cash it\'s because I have lost of unsed parts and propably I\'ll have to trash if those won\'t be used in my project...

[Nerijus]

I would offer to stick up with a standalone and forget all problems.

Hello McPie Nice blue pictures. Beautifull woman and baby siting in the car. I think I know them

Please hold on and stop for some time. As I told you i might have some parts. Unfortunately I don\'t have much time.
i know that i ordered door handles from Australia, also i think i have one or more Air vents (those round things on rear pilars) they are not the best condition but quite good.
Then i start my project i start to collect parts didn\'t paying atention to quality of parts so i have some parts 2x.

From memory what i have -
door handles (without lock\'s)
Air Vent (s)
Door trims (need to retrim them)
From USA ordered door window lift mechanism (need to look 1 or 2)
So i can sell those parts to you.
As i finished my car know (95%) will sell some parts on ebay or else.
Front grile I told that i will give you as it belongs to that body you bought.

First you need to make your car running. those bling bling things are not necesary now.

[McPie]

Ok, it will take time to find parts for you and me.
 
I want to collect all parts in one place...
to keep it runung I have few ideas and local help rregarding this. For the moment
I want to seed this car in one peace running in second place... it\'s just ecu, wiring lots of time question

Its been a while since i swaped a Na engine for a T2 one but from memory i think the mounts where the same, i can\'t tell you if the fd/rx8 mounts are different as i\'ve never fitted one to a t2.

I think you can fit the Na flywheel but if you did that you would have to use a NA clutch and starter (flywheel is smaller dia on the na and uses a smaller dia clutch) of cause you could go this way and use an uprated na clutch but i don\'t know allot about the gear box ratios or how strong they are?

[apex_lt]

Just a question for you McPie.
Why NA flywheel is smaller than turbo?
Don\'t you think about problems that are waiting for you by fiting "honda civic 1,4 flywheel and clutch on chevy big block crankshaft" ?

My advice don\'t play too much, concentrate on those problems that you have. Don\'t mix parts (my car now has Mazda, nissan, BMW, ford parts, and that\'s not good thing in future repairs). So try to find turbo gearbox that will wit engine without any problems.
If turbo gbox twice NA, still these money are nothing compare to all project price.
I\'ve done lot of mistakes trying to make something cheaper.

Best way - think about everything (making, exploring, repairing, searching for parts in future).

Mounting of gearbox is not a problem anyway. You can make custom mounts. as i did to my engine, gearbox, propeler shaft. usaly it takes few hours to thing "how" and few hours to make if you have materials.
So concentrate on other things.

[McPie]

yes sir
buy front clip of fd and all problems should be solved

[McPie]

a few month ago I thought like J. Clarcson...

if I want to build an RX4? well I can do it, seriously how hard can it be?

unfortanetly I was wrong..

so there no time to loose for chit chat

all my plans to avoid rx7 base cut off and make it longer by 8.75cm died, when some people putted rx4 shell on the rx7 base...
in this case I need one more fc shell for spare metal parts or at least part of fc base.

here some pics what is done for ELEONORA project...

[Brett]

This gets more interesting every time
Glad to see its coming along

[Erdin]

Great work keep it up
