so in 2 weeks im ordering my jdm front clip... oh god i cant wait to get it in.

the headlight conversion looks so good. now all i have to do is find my driveshaft and rear end/ axles and ill be set. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Sweet deal, you better post some pics. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Pics DAMMIT!!!

im going to do a whole series of pics as im doing the swap and the final product. hopefully i cant get it painted white and get either some work bronze mesh looking wheels or something cool along those lines. but yeah so far so good

i wanna see pics!!!!

next weekend hopefully i start the tear down, and im gonna part out the engine and paint the bay while its out. if anyone needs some parts (not the apex seals haha) off of a s5 n/a motor let me know. ANY of the parts i mean housings, rotors all cleaned and checked to be in good condition and super cheap

crassfc3s



where are you? I'm interested in the engine when you get it out.



you say you are pulling the seals out? why? you are going to use used seals in a rebuild?

no it has blown seals no damage to the housing as far as i know ill have to check when i pull them but the apex seals werent that bad, they were in good enough condition to actually start the car just not enough compression to keep it idle or drive with full power but if youre interested im in san antonio texas and the engine so far is going nowhere so if you want to buy it slowly in pieces thats cool, youll pay shipping of course i might be able to help a bit though with buying the crates ect

how many miles are on it? I have another engine in the garage that is down one rotor, and has a bad housing, and figured if I could get your engine for pretty cheap, Id just sell off the rest of the one that I have.



how much do you want for the whole engine? pm me...



I'm in mississippi so shipping won't be horrendous.

i've chatted with you before, i'm in san antonio also.



if you need an extra pair of hands, i'll be here in town until i start working in houston, so i should be here for another week or so. my life currently consists of sitting at home watching people's court, judge mathis, divorce court, and judge judy waiting to start work in houston.



give me a call at 210-535-3288 or PM me.

damn, why do I have to be the only rx7 guy around here. no one to give ma a hand.



damn. Some one in south mississippi needs to buy an rx7 and learn to work on it so they can help me.

lol.....

haha yeah i already have 1 rotary enthusiast promising to help and maybe aggie, that would be cool haha

I need to move to texas. there are a ton of rx7's over there. specially the dalas/ fort worth area.

**** just around the corner is a rhd sa22. a guy at my work has a 10th aniversary turbo2 and im going to have a jdm turbo2 haha... san antonio is where its at garland isnt far and that is where a very well known rotary shop is based out of and alamo rotary is here. speaking of which i need to see if they have the drivetrain **** i need haha

tito at alamo rotary charges big $$$ to do stuff.



he does good engine rebuilds that are reliable, but they are expensive. i paid $5500 for my rebuild, but it's lasted 2 years and i've started pushing the boost up higher. it still pulls strong, but blows hella smoke when i first start it up. after a minute, i give it a good revv, and the smoke goes away. i still dont know what the problem is.



only do to tito if you cant do something yourself. he charged my mom $100 to unflood her old rx-7!!! after that, i haven't gone back to him. i tought myself to change out my shocks and springs, brake pads and lines and master cylinder, clutch line and slave cylinder, and exhaust. i saved lots of money doing it myself.



you'll save lots of money if you can order off the internet. i bought my exhaust off of him because he is a racing beat dealer, but that's the only reason i went to him.



not that i'm bashing tito, i'm just saying he charges too much. and he's not very socialble -- he seems angry all the time. scares me.



small hands, smells like cabbage...

hahaha yeah he does seem mad unless youre interested in making a large purchase, i called him yesterday and found out he has a s5 turbo2 hes parting hes giving me the diff, half axles and hubs for 450. letting me put 200 as a deposit and holding it for me as long as i want! woooo

LMFAO https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

there is a guy in town, some lawyer or something, original owner of a 90 S5 TII, white. it has 83000 miles. he wants to sell it, and i keep seeing him in his volvo here in town and he drives up next to me going 50 mph, and yells at me "i have an rx-7 just like that for sell. know anyone who wants to buy it?"



he left his card and phone number on my windshield, if your interested or know anyone else who wants an s5 tii. i'm not sure how much money he's asking, i haven't called him.

its gonna be crazy expensive... i know its super clean haha my tii will be super hot when its done
