hi guys!
first up, i'm Ferdi aka Furb, age 24, from Holland. don't ask me why i haven't found this forum untill today, but i am the proud owner of a 91 FC3S TII for 2,5 years now and i'm totally in love with it! i will give u a quick look into my project from feb 2005 untill this day and will be doing regular updates! please sit back and ENJOY https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.gif Bought it in feb 2005 in an original and remarkable state Car was imported from Germany in 2002 and then had a full rebuild, the rest of the car was also brought up into shape When I bought the car, the engine had only 9200km on it This is what it looked like back then: http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...s/begin/01.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...s/begin/02.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...s/begin/03.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...s/begin/04.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...nterior/01.jpg Did some minor changes over time, but saved my money for a long time and then it all went by pretty fast in a short matter of time Jan 2006 the car was pretty much still stock, but the spec list has grown quite a bit since then! Some gadgets: http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f.../engine/03.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f.../engine/07.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f.../engine/08.jpg |
Then the suspension was in for some major changes.
Silkroad coilovers from Japan, custom made strut-braces, vented brake discs. And ofcourse a nice set of wheels, I wanted to go as wide as I could possibly go without rolling the fenders. After searching and researching for a long time, I got what I wanted! Only thing was: they didn’t come in black, so I had to get them painted right away… Front: 18 x 8,5J offset 25 with Falken FK451 225/40R18 Rear: 18 x 9,5J offset 25 with Falken FK451 255/35R18 http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/01.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/02.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/05.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/06.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/07.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/08.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/09.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/11.jpg |

http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f.../wheels/02.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f.../wheels/03.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f.../wheels/05.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f.../wheels/09.jpg I had just finished that, when i ordered my aerokit. Wasn’t too convinced wether to put on any aero stuff, but when I found this one and was offered for a good price, I just couldn’t resist! |
After a while the parts came in from Japan and the work could begin…

Off to the painter!

The result:

While is was at it, I also made a nice radiator panel http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/18.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/19.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/20.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...pension/21.jpg Then the car was finished on the outside and i could finally take it out for a spin, cause DAMN i missed that! |
then it was about 3/4 of a year later when i ordered some parts for this winter and i am pulling the engine to get the bay painted.

then it was time to start working!
made a last run with this setup and sound, i have to miss this for a couple of months, but it will be worth it! and ofcourse some new pics and a vid: http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...2007-08/01.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...2007-08/02.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...2007-08/03.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...2007-08/04.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...2007-08/05.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...2007-08/06.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...2007-08/07.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...2007-08/08.jpg Movie Final Run |
first i put ont the sway-bars and adjustable end-links
the rear DTSS system removed removed the entire airconditioning and powersteering. also removed some excess wiring and brackets and added the new plug cables. removed the windscreen washer reservoir and cause in the future it will have to go when the FMIC comes on... http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/25.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/26.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/27.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/28.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/29.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/30.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/31.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/32.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/33.jpg |
http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/34.jpg
http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/35.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/36.jpg then came the shitty part removed the entire exhaust system and turbo and came to an unexpected suprise :( the turbo is officially scrap metal! - i have about 1,5-2mm radial play on the shaft - the turbine has scraped on the inside of the housing - the wastegate hinge has worn a little, making it stick in its movement - numerous cracks in the turbine housing glad i found this before something bad happened! now to go over all the options and costs and see what's the best thing i can do at the moment. in the meantime i will be taking apart the engine bay as planned http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/37.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/38.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/39.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/40.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/41.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/42.jpg |

manifold is also junk, has 4 cracks in it...
http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/49.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/50.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/52.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/53.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/54.jpg |
went along with cleaning out the engine bay.
remover ABS, Battery, alternator, radiator, intercooler, oilcooler and more. the end is starting to show, then i can start to clean it all up and start building again. http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/55.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/56.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/57.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/58.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/59.jpg |
didnt take me long to find another turbo:

new window washer tank made out of an oil catch tank i had lying around
http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/67.jpg because i have decided to get the enginebay painted while im at it, more parts need to come out! http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/68.jpg easy working! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/69.jpg |
then it all progressed very quickly and today i pulled the entire engine and started the messy job of degreasing it all.
in 3 weeks the car will be going to the paintshop for an engine bay respray... http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/71.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/72.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/73.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/74.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/75.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/76.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/77.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/78.jpg http://partyaddict.xszone.net/furb/f...oject07/79.jpg Some movies FC3S GP-Sports Rotary heaven clubspecials part 1 clubspecials part 2 clubspecials part 3 clubspecials part 4 airfield fun Specifications: Car: Mazda RX-7 FC3S TurboII U9 Coupé ‘91 Engine: 13BT Rotary engine 200hp/265Nm Standard features: Airconditioning Power steering Power windows Power sunroof Cruise control ABS Modifications: Engine: Apexi air intake *Custom* radiator shroud Corksport steel braided clutch line Laser stainless steel exhaust mufflers Suspension: Silkroad RM/A8 coilover kit *Custom* front and rear Strut braces Brakes: Formel drilled brake rotors EBC green stuff brake pads Corksport steel braided brake lines Red caliper paint Wheels/Tires: Barracuda Velvet *custom black* 18” x 8,5J 35mm offset Falken FK451 225/40R18 Barracuda Velvet *custom black* 18” x 9,5J 25mm offset Falken FK451 255/35R18 Exterior: GP-Sports Aerokit Border Headlight intake cover Black side cornering lights from Skoda Clear headlamps R-Magic mirrors SL Llumar Windowfilm 35% Electrics: X-Line Boostgauge X-line Oil temp gauge Greddy Turbo Timer 300W 12/220V DC/AC converter ICE: Sony CD-F7750 headunit Pioneer 5100T 760W amplifier Polk audio 13cm speakers Polk audio 16cm speakers Polk audio 8” woofers Special Thanks: Gerry j-spec.nl Paint: Jerry hoewijk.nl Parts: JP japtuningshop.com Parts: Jeroen jeroentje.nl |
