:smirk:

I'm new, thought i would introduce myself.

I am 17, I live in Perth, Australia. I own a '79 RX7, which is fitted with a 13b that was re-built 40,000klm ago. I picked the car up for a relativly cheap price with some minor rust that needed fixing. The rust is now almost all fixed, and a majority of the repaired patches are in prima, the only rust remaining is behind the rear wheels, this will shortly be getting cut out and new metal put in. Hopefully in the future i will be adding a turbo of some sort, but untill then my 13b powers along more than enough for my first car. I haven't one friend that can out beat it, mind you, most of my friends are commodore buffs. Pity them. I don't think i will ever own a piston powered car, well, i know i don't ever want to own a piston powered car, but all good things come to an end.. sometimes https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Well there it is, bored yet? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

You figure the rust and driveline will be done in 3 months?What are you using for wheels.I know austrailia has a shitload amount of wheels for the FB there.

I suppose that is fairly optimistic of me. :redface:

Umm, I'm not sure what type of wheels I'm gonna get yet, I haven't got any particular type in mind. All I know is that I want them in chrome black finish. I'll probably get some 17" ROH mags, but I'm not sure which.



The plan for exterior colour scheme is black chrome mags and windscreen trim, dark metallic green body, with black bonnet for the drift spec look. :smirk:

Maybe aluminium drift wing or something, depends on whats available.

I'd like a front air dam too, like viper's one.

Cool,Is that with a 12a or 13b or 13bt?Yeah Mazdatrix sells it or www.erebuni.net sells it too.I like those selectmaz cyclone kits you guys have there tho.The sideskirts kickass.

drifter 02-17-2003 12:50 AM

Yeah I need to check out some places in Aus for bodykits. It would cost way to much to get one from the US, what with the dollar difference and then shipping.

The 12a is out and I'm saving my dollaridoos for the 13BT. I'm doing the bodywork while I'm saving cash for the engine.

Racer X 02-17-2003 01:02 AM

Cool.Getting a T2 setup like mine then?With everything needed?I still need to get the wiring for S2 to S4 figured out.But that can wait till I get another chassis to start on.Then I'll get the bodywork and prep started.When I'm not working to get this beast started.

Racer X 02-17-2003 01:04 AM

I'll have everything here except for the inline pump.I all ready have the SE mount parts from my original engine and all I need is a custom driveshaft and the spacer.Then the paint in the engine bay for sure before I drop it in there and do the wiring to it.

Thats none of your business now is it? :smirk:

Nah, j/k

I got some license plate frames and keychains and stickers.

Phinsup: I'll pm you when it arrives.

Hooray, I'm the first.



I'm pretty much doing the same setup you are. We can have a transcontinental dual project thingy happeneing. I'm just waiting on money. I could get a small loan or something, but I'm using the waiting time for the bodywork.

Thats cool.That nopistons stuff is good.I love it.Your waiting on driveline and bodywork money.I'm waiting on payin the driveline out then finishing the 83.Then I'll get another chassis to start on.I might be able to get another first gen by june to drop it in.Will yours be running the Stock ECU?if its a series 4 setup like mine then we could help each other out.I could do a loan deal for my next project too but I like to pay cash.After I pay VISA out I want a Nopistons plate holder.Those are pimp. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bling.gif

drifter 02-17-2003 02:41 AM

Theres a lot of stuff that I haven't decided on yet, like finer details of the driveline, including gearbox and diff. I would prefer to just get a complete s4 setup and then move from there, but i might end up buying an engine already set up. Theres a s4 13BT with microtech ecu, supra gearbox, surge tank and pumps going in the paper at the mo for $3500. But that probably won't be around by the time i get $$. Some people reckon you can get a s4 halfcut for ~$2000, which would be good, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes yet. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif



I'm sure it will all come together.
