We'll I'm buying that Vert! Can't freakin wait to get it, it should be pretty awsome having that in SC in the middle of the summer!

Nice.. Verts are cool..

you should put a supra motor in it

Hahahaha lol



Nice car though man congrats!

Nooooo, not again, one supra7 project us enough!



And if I cut up an S5 Vert, I'll have to smack myself! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif







And thanks on the compliments! It's killing me, I have no patients and I have to wait another 5 days!!!

Looks like it was overheated or something?



You know what would be gorgeous in that? A TII drivetrain conversion..

wow, that looks like my car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png cool, and wanta be boosted, I'll get those peices for the interior and the tails to you quick!

What makes you say that? The clamp on the water hose? May have been, he said it smokes on start up. I'm hoping it is either very little smoke, or just leaky injectors!



Either way I'll find out soon!!! I'm going to pick it up tomorow! I'm as happy as a fat kid in a candy store!!!!









Cool https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683651.gif



I've got to get that turbo shipped out on Monday! Heh, I'll take it to UPS in the Vert https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

If you ever catch wind of me doing something like that, come down and take it for a while https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



Unless it's a 13BT swap....

Mister Anderson, welcome back. We've missed you.

????





Is that like a Matrix thing? And I'm now going back to rotary's???



I'm lost..... (So what's new???) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Renesis 13B rotors are cheaper at mazdatrix than S4 N/A rotors.



Buy some.



That's what's new.

Wow...



Got the car! And I must say, it's a steal for the money ($1300). But damn, the bastard has been in a pretty bad wreck, and most of the front end parts (bumper, fenders, hood, headlights....) Don't line up very well. They acctually cut out the drivers side front corner and put a new on it....



I'll get my brother to help me do some serious hammering, and straightening!





And the last bad thing! I HATE FREAKING AUTO TRANNY'S!!!!!! You can't drive fast with the tranny, if you do, and you go WOT, then once it gets to the end of first... It won't shift to second fast enough, unless you let off, but if you let off, then it goes into 2nd, then you go WOT again. It jumps back to freaking first!!!! You have to like manual shift the auto tranny threw first/second.





But the two really really sweet things about it, are the wheels, those things have a nice big lip. And it has a set of lowering springs on it, and it feels like your riding on the dang ground in the car!





Anyways.... More pictures tommorow https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

you my friend, have the same addiction that I do now, the rx7 convertible.

Dude this project is perfect for you.. Cause I know you like fabrication..



So.. Bust out the torches and straighten the front end fascia mounts and ****.. Then fabricate tranny mounts for the TII tranny... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

stock turbo II tranny mounts will work, or should, there are both sets of holes already there!!

He has one project to finish before he starts another.I want to hear of this supra7 running before he rips a running car apart.

I'm not ripping it apart! The only thing that may happen is a manual tranny swap.





Other than that, and a possible exhaust, it's going to stay pretty stock!

I happen to have a NEW core assembly sitting here in the shop for the right price

Engine core assembly?





The engine in the car is doing nicly! It starts pretty fast (about 2 seconds of cranking or so...) But it smokes like a mo-fugger on start up after it sits for a day or so.... Smells like a raw fuel burning, so I'll send the injectors off to RC engineering sometime...



You got an S5 NA tranny, flywheel, driveshaft, ECU, and maybe a couple other parts for the tranny swap laying around https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I've got the clutch master cylinder, pedal cluster, and slave cylinder.





Hate that auto-magic.....

Huh.... I'm stumped on how I'm going to get a jack under this car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



It's about 4" off of the ground. And jesus, gave it a little push around a corner, and it handles wayyyyyy better than the last running 7 I had. The 88 GTU wouldn't pull that same corner in our neighborhood at 50 without understee, and the vert took it at 50 without knowing any better https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png WITH THE TOP DOWN!!!

Nice

SON OF A BITCH!!!!!







OK, I pulled the font of the car apart, and did a little tack welding, and hammered it straight the best I could (much better than it was!)



And I just got it all back together about an hour ago.... And guess what I forgot to put back in...





Done yet??? Well, anyways, THE FREAKIN FOG LIGHTS!!!!! ****, I'm so pissed, because the front bumper was a mo-fugger to get back on! It didn't line up for ****, and I was prying it on most of the way, and it took me a good hour to get the top 4-6 bolts in!





Guess I'm doing it again tommorow https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png



Might just leave the damn fog lights out......

did you have the foam the right way?

That **** isn't even in there! I don't think there is room for it.....





And now that you said that.... I FORGOT THAT **** TO!!!!!





Damn it.....





It wasn't in there when I pulled it apart is why I forgot that one... I have some extra of that crap laying around, but when I pulled it apart the fiberglass bumper part was all busted up, and the foam was missing, so I didn't think to much about the foam https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

Personally I would keep the foam in there, it seems like it would

help the bumper from deforming in the heat.



If its out of wack where the bumper cover bolts to the fenders

it can be a real bitch to get the bumper on straight.

A body shop should only charge a hour or 2 labor to straighten

it all out, otherwise you can use the backyard method

of a cum-along and a tree

It's fairly straight.... there are like 3 places one on each side were it meets the finder. Like the passengers side has a small gap, and the drivers side is very tight, and has pulled the bumper to close....



It's because the support in the middle is so screwed up. I can't do to much for it, without cutting that whole damn thing out, and welding a new on in. Which is not worth doing to a $1300 daily beater..... It'll get me there is good style with the top down, and your everyday joe, and maybe someone smarter will hardly notice, without studying it.



It's fine by me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Wow...





I just got ass raped on the fee's for get my car tagged/titled! It cost me $130 bucks for property tax on the car, and another $70 for tags, and to register the car!





My bank account got small..... That ruined my manual tranny swap https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

wanna know how much tags are here??



the new one for my truck cost 350 (i don't have the truck anymore)



the one on the rx7 cost 140



the one on my altima cost 150

Wow.... I can't bitch now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png





Jesus, I'm not moving to Mississippi....
