Youre not worried about something hitting that oil cooler and putting a hole in it?
|
I'm in Portland (or real close). The A/F Gauge I got is from Summit. It's not from AutoMeter. I think I have a quality o2 sensor (3 wire) so I hope it will work well. I've added gauges where the cig tray was and added idiot lights for low coolant, oil.
The Oil Cooler isn't protected, but should be okay. On the RX-7 about the only thing is was protected from was a 2x4. As I recall the grill work covering it wasn't much protection. The Oil Cooler mounts are welded to the frame on the front crossmember, so it's not going anywhere... It's not going to be a daily driver, but a summer rig- 1/4 mile toy. Thus the 5.12 rear end with a locker (lock-rite). |

This Friday! I left my laptop at work this weekend. But I did want to recheck all my wires before I start it. I did crank it over a few times this weekend. So it's close.
I just need to connect my factory tach up, which I will do after I start it. Everything else, including the backup lights, speedo are all hooked up. I filled the coolant and found I had a bad cap. I've taken care of that and it looks good now. I hope setting up the Haltech is smooth. I've got a map from RX7.com. I added a mixture trim knob and have a A/F Meter in the dash so I think I should be able to fine tune it. This has been a 18 month project (from the time I pulled the motor out of the Doner car). But many other things have gone on in my life that have slowed the project (moving and not having a garage being one of them). |

5.12 works out to 3018 RPM @ 60 MPH
With a top speed of 139 MPH @ 7000 RPM which is faster then I'd care to drive in this thing... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |

Ya there no way I will get this AeroTurd to go that fast, but it is light (less than 2200 lbs) so it should easily grab a 12 sec 1/4.
At least it looks that way on paper. Slap on some slicks and I might be able to get into the high 11's. The running gear is all Mazda, Except the rear end is the Sidekick rear, I have been told the rear will handle the power, It looks pretty strong, but I haven't looked at the splines or gears. I went through my wiring last night and everything looks in order. So this weekend it should be running. :p |

I have heard of Sidekicks with V8s, but your truck is better.
|
Though id put something in a little different than a 2nd gen. Its my Rx3 Coupe on the attached file.
|
finally got my pic up! here is my love.... lol
|
and the back.....
|
there is not much of the old rotor stuff on here
|
That RX-3 looks real sweet, how long you had it?
|
No school like 'ol school. I like the Rx3...I just wouldn't know how to restore one, lol. You've got a nice set of rotaries there...and welcome to the board. I know we don't have many 'ol school rotary guys in here...not to many of them around anymore. Give it time...I'm sure they'll be some.
|
I Have had the Rx3 for 3 years now.
Its has a 13B JPort Fuel Injected |
actually i have had it 4 four years, time goes fast.
Once you start restoring it, its just one thing after another. Dont think i could part with the car now. I havent tuned the car on teh Dyno yet since i put the 55mm Haltech fuel injection on, i expect about 140kw @ the RW |
AHHH, love the reflection off that RX-3 as well.
|
1revvin7 you need something to fill up the wheel wells of that rex!
|
I just spent big dollars at the auto trimmer, re-doing the roof lining and door trims. They look really cool.
|
These would help!
|
Think those wheels are a bit modern for the car. Im saving up for some chrome 17" Simmons OM's. Not sure if you have simmons wheels over there. They are wild wheels.
|
I have consider those before i was really into tuning my car and now i want these, but they only have 7.5 width wtf???
|
AHHHH 7.5 is fine.
|
on a 2nd gen i reckon 7.5 by 17" or 18" is ideal
|
lol, i want 265s in the back! man Spinz ur car is really NICE i like those rx3's do u have any under the hood pics? what have u done to it?
|

so what would be ideal for 265s'. what will fit without having to roll the fenders? to the max ofcourse, ideally 17's with same stock diameter of tire/rim ratio? and what rim width? 7.5?
