Thanks guys

Weeeeelllllll That didnt last long. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20160413_202138828.jpg I skipped stages 1-9 and went straight to "kill mode" http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20160414_194427784.jpg I have a fucking problem lol. But in other news, the car went from meh....to YEAH BUDDY just like that. I am truly in love with this thing now. Only down side is its so god damn quite its hard to get a race! I did put a bus length on a early 2000's M3, and had a good run with a 2010 ish S4 with a temp tag. I ricer flyby'd him-he came up hard to do the same but I matched speed, and drove away quietly putting car after car on him. I will be installing DIY airfitler(s), wheels and calling it good!

I'll be happy to have it drive there an pop the hood We will see what the dyno list looks like. Clutch bled and adjusted, brakes bled. It was warm a few nights last week so I decided to try the full murder look. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160415_221322268.jpg I think Gloss may be better, but I will leave it for now. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160416_222911261.jpg Dusty ol' girl! http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160416_142113450_HDR.jpg Paint still looks great after a quick bath- but she does need a buff http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160416_143753326.jpg And the current status of things.. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160416_141940717_HDR.jpg The cam, super aggressive clutch, and lack of tune makes things interesting for sure. Cam surge becomes pretty violent in the drive train with an on-off switch for a clutch! But the brakes work, the trans shifts (and sounds quieter than last season, so my reshim may have helped!!) and the fans work-so we are ready for IC pipes and possibly exhaust!

Misha Designs Kit. Saw it at SEMA

Leave it stock. Mod the V.

Nice! What turbo?

DAT AUDI DOH. http://sociologiayredessociales.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/megusta.jpeg

I will be there! Not sure if I will be ready for full Jam passes though. I considered T'ing off the Line lock, but from a volume of fluid flow and proportioning standpoint, I didn't want to F with it with 4 piston fronts. Also, I bought 2 for the 4GX7 back in 2007 LOL. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/RX7launch.jpg I actually bought them form summit- there where no china options available at the time.

I have been working on the finishing touches to get it back on the ground for a test drive. Everything goes well I will then work on IC plumbing and the exhaust. Slid the CHRA in, and made my feed and drain lines. The drain needed some massaging since the hole is so damn big. I made a flange to make it work. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160402_174013774.jpg Filter is temporary. I will be building something with a nice bell to get maximum airflow to the compressor. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160413_090143179.jpg First issue-BRAKES. My master cylinder was bad last year (was going to the floor on hard braking-fluid on the firewall) so I figured may as well install line lock while she is all apart. I have had a set since 2005 I got in trade-they were both locked up. With some PB blaster and a jump box I was able to get them working again. The Rx7 has 2 separate front lines out of the master, so 2 solenoids are required. Now I don’t know what idiot made these things-but they are NOT faired to accept a brake line. I learned the hard way!!! Nothing like doing the job twice. You have to get 1/8 NPT to brake flare adapters. I used some JB weld for good measure. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160413_090201662.jpg Brakes feel better than ever now! Once that was done I tackled bleeding the clutch. I fought with it for a good 20 minutes-it just refused to have any kind of pedal. Also noted it would not pull fluid with a vacuum on the bleeder. Odd. I ended up removing the master and bench testing it. It seemed to work as it should. I put vacuum to just the line, and POP-out comes the fluid. Must have been a clog somewhere! put it all back together and an hour+ later I have a great pedal and the clutch fully disengages as it should. As a note, I am and have been using the stock Camaro Unit. Nothing like free.95! http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160413_090214468.jpg Should be on the ground for a quick test drive by next week.

Vette wheels are 5x120? Same as BMW?

Tune is THICK fucker looked like it was rolling coal lol. Keep that cylinder cool! Love it.

Thanks guys The Hate! Your not too far off. Issue is, everyone on C list either sold cheap and they are GONE, or thinks they need $1500 because they were dumb enough to buy real M wheels for $4500 form a dealer. There is no real middle ground, and I'm impatient! Also I have a set of 245/40/18s that were given in a trade that are taking up space. Thats influencing the decision as well.

Thanks! For $500 shipped these may be a winner

These http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/QgsAAOSwJQdW9FL6/s-l1600.jpg On this. http://images.gtcarlot.com/pictures/61465892.jpg Wheels pictures are 18's so they will be the same size. Thanks photoshogurus.

Tilley and Linn?

Cost- $3.50.

Those billet motors sound strange as shit.

She has NO citations and had to pay court cost? That makes no sense,

Seriosuly.

So the "Linn" shot Viper all stock hangs with 160 traps cars, but the fastest one in the world has a blower the size of texas and a vagina, err I mean autotragic goes mid 9s at 143? Dafuq am I missing here?

I fucking love waffles.

Updates are slow and progress has come in short bursts with the limited time I have for the car, but I made some big steps today after the fam left from Easter brunch. In the last few weeks I have Installed/filled trans (redline MTL with a quart of shockproof) Installed rear subframe/diff/filled diff with half havy shockproof half Redline 75-90 Mocked up/improved/finalized hot side. Wrapped all pipes-installed. 2.25 with a flex on the pass side. The spare alternator bolt point was perfect for a brace! http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160310_140950451.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20160327_212038102.jpg And most important-first fire! Video This is a SBE 5.3 with an unknown (see-garbage picked) Cam. All I know is it was described as "had some pop" from the previous owner. Certainly sounds better than stock!

I have GTO headers-that would for the bill also. http://ls1tech.com/forums/attachments/conversions-hybrids/38413d1123122027-stock-exhaust-manifolds-gtomanifolds.jpg

Turbo car? Auto? Ever change the trans fluid? I had a caution light for a day, but it went away when I aired up my tires.

Crazy it took them 4+ years to beat Jamie's old jalopy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp4F8qLHj2M I guess the big news is the upgraded (stock vs stock) trans in the hurricans?
