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......
