Waking up the FD, the rebuild of car and life

[oyvindjs]

Then, we had some issues, summed up in a post:

***********************\'
Well, time to revive this thread from the dead.... That engine i was  being told was crated...?  Seller = Legion = scammer!  He yanked me  around for a few months, and then vanished.. Then, with the help of this  good forum, i got a hold of his name, adress, phone number etc... so i  got a hold of him. He pulled the old " oh, its shipped, dunno what to  say, blabla.. i will reimburse you", and i got half... then he  disappeared again, for good this time, so i filed a scam charge through  my bank. They reimbursed me, and took the case against the US bank and  legal system..   That retard barked up the wrong god damn tree this  time. He ruined his life for 1000 dollars, and that sentence will stay  on his record for life.
So, i dug up another engine though the awesome Allrotor93. Cost me abit more, but well worth it!
2000 mile Banzai racing built large streetport 13B-rew, with TII lowcomp  rotors, RA black superseals etc.. Banzai even has the buildthread on  the engine, on their homepage, and it made over 500 hp no sweat.
Allrotor93 is one truely awesome person to deal with. He agreed to be my  parts storehouse over there while i searched for parts, and got em  shipped to him, so i could stuff it all in a crate and get it shipped  over here
So, in that crate being shipped soon now, is

Banzai racing engine
LS coils
AEM waterinjection
Kaaz diff in the pumkin, bought from a forum member. Allrotor93 knew the guy and dropped by him to pick it up for me
greddy elbow, tapped for AI
new 6puck clutchkit
blockoffkit from banzai
dash pod
400lph walboro pump
pfc  datalogit
pfc commander

and some more stuff i cant remember off the top of my head.

So, just about to pay shipping, and hopefully 3 weeks later, we have all the goodies here in the garage Man, i cant wait! Season is comming soon!!

Also have spent my last months in the cold winter, refurbishing the  house, so that is 90% done too, but damn its expencive to own a house..

Aaaahhh, what a fine day it was indeed, and the perks of being single and living alone is the fact that you can take your work with you indoors if you want to. Started out abit chilly, but once the sun came out, it was superb!
Started to rewire my fueltank for the walboro 400 pump. 4mm wire(good for 30 amp), 30 amp relay, 30 amp fuse. 12V direct from battery, to a relay now powered by the cars original pump power wire. Alcatraz on the computer, and just chillin while i do the wiring work.





















Got this nice prepped relay socket to make relaychange easy business.

The dog is curious about what "dad" is up to



I love heatsrink socks, makes everything look so nice and clean




Prepped wiring loom



Took the fuel pump bracket out, and spotted something i really didnt like





Stock RX7 pump too that did this..!



Imagining this thing catching fire IN tank..!



Finally, the sun came out and temps went up alot!!

Drilled out two new holes for the power supply:


Grabbed some speaker wire with rubber that withstands chemicals, and added an extra wire sock on it for insulation

[oyvindjs]

Drilled the holes extra large and added an extra sock for more  insulation and making the whole thing stick really tight so it wont move  around



Added some fuel and chemical resistant silicone to seal it properly




Also, cut open my front bottom cover earlier to make a cold air intake  to my radiator. It scoops air from below the front lip, and straight to  the radiator sitting in stock location, and from there, out through a  vented seibon hood. Should be enough imo. I will also add some alu  sheets to further guide the air.

I don\'t think Mazda went to that much trouble and effort when the car was new.  Top effort!

Without getting all deep and meaningful.... simply well done for getting your life turned around and the FD progress underway - it\'s all looking awesome

The engine and all the goodies has finally arrived.
first of all, hats off to Allrotor93(Jonathan) for being an excellent seller! He let me use him as a parts-base, so i could get all my stuff shipped to him, and ship everything from him to me in one single shipment! I bought the engine off of him, a beautifully built banzai racing engine, large smooth streetport, T-II 8,5 rotors for high boost capabilities.

Man, i love single life, dont you?



Started to bolt all the shelfed stuff onto the engine:








pressed the polybushes:

and fitted the kaaz diff and housing to the car:



more bolt-on work:









took my steering rack appart and "manualized" it, as it was leaking anyways, so i tought, lets try manual rack!


found this thing hid away behind a ton of parts, thought about using it on an old project once, but i ditched the project.. Could this be a nice thing to run on the rear diff? Does the rear diff get hot when used hard?







started to get tired, as i was on a hard drinking night out yesterday, so i packed in and called it aday. Startup is not far away now. Man, i cant wait, the car has been sitting for 4 years now...!
