picked up martin (fikse) at his house around 2 in the afternoon after sitting in some emense traffic on the island



on the way outta jersey we had a little coupler mishap

switch cars touch hands at 80 (martin is the one in the white mr2)

got to seans shop around 6 or 7 very nice place

the guys at seans shop

the pipes took a good think tank but we eventually got it

break time (martin standing, neill top(mr2 guy) and the former frestyle(mike bogdan) in the bottom)

the swap.... little bit of a size difference

my car in the bay

martin taking the tubing like a pro

sean's (the camel's) turbo shell

theres rx7 stuff all over the shop its like rotary christmass for me and martin this shaft happens to be from martins motor he holds it with pride

we eventually get my car together at about 3am

finished product

just in time to catch sunrise on my way back to ny from dropping off martin

my new engine bay

id like to thank sean(the camel) for his help, you really did amazing work everything fit so perfect in the end its like it should have come outta the factory like this you put up with a lot of **** and stayed up to the wee hours of the morning to help me get on the road so i could get to work today. i would reccomend sean to anyone on this forum just ask my how great it was to wirk with him at his new shop



also thanks to martin (fikse) for puttin up with my farting and ADD and spending another rx7 allnighter with me



neill mike bogdan(fre) and all seans guys expecially mo who stayed with us the whole time.



in total this project took us about 6 hours (8 really but we stopped for food and changed projects at one point to disassembling and reassembling neills mr2's rear suspension) me and martin did simple stuff like taking off bumper rebar intercooler and pipes and installing the new pipes while sean handled placement or the radiator and brackets for various relocations



thanks all

nice little documentary mazda mike. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png It took that long to get to delaware? damn...

well we got a little lost me and martin wound up in maryland (we overshot a bit)

oh yeah nice license plate too!

You should have called me you bitches https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683431.gif



IC looks sweet https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

That's that good **** right there.

I had a fun time with the crew from NJ, it was nice to have a shop full of Rotary nuts. Mike, Martin and Mike(frestyle) June and his buddy with the black FD are all welcome to come down anytime... leave the MR2 and its driver at home https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png



The install turned out better than I had planned, and about the time that the pic above shows 7 of us trying to fit some space age puzzle that NASA engineers designed for the piping, Mike thought he was hitchhiking back home...



In the end it was a lot of fun, good freinds, and a smile on my buddies face like he was a 2 yr old locked in a Toys-R-Us after going on the test drive was priceless.



Thanks for your business Mike



Sean

That's awesome..

Damn, looks like fun..... wish i could've went and chilled

Yeah me too.. Stupid Canada..

sounds like a good time https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Funny thing is that Sean did that in Okinawa...staying up wee hours of the night listening to a bunch of car freaks talking **** around a shop. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png

yea when i first askeed him if hes installed greddy front mounts he told me on a bunch of silvias... i wanted to ring his neck in a blast of jealous rage

You went to Japan Mike?

damn, guess i missed a hell of a time....i knew that thug looked familiar in the first pic....

sean (the camel) was stationed in japan for a few years... its not fair just ask him what cars he owned/worked on there.... makes u cry

It really sucks that up here in Montreal there aren't many people I can hang out with and chill that own Rx-7's. Hopefully sometime soon I'll meet with the Rx-7 Club Of Quebec, but that's basically the only chance I'll get to be with other Rotary people https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif.

Nothing to cry about, I just had more oppertunity to own them than the average person. I lived there for 4 years :P

its so odd thinking of camaros and firebirds in japan

sean's installation was the shitznitz...... seriously this guy is so ******* thorough its rediculous. aside from the jigsaw puzzle mishap, he could have done a half assed job and got us goin home at 11pm.... but he did it the perfect way

nice write up mike https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

yea thats another thing everynow and then id get frustrated and suggest an easier route.... i just remember hearing "MIKE... dont worry.... we WILL do this the right way" did i mention he fired me a lot

you only got fired after you were done speaking, Frestyle would get fired halfway through a sentance, and Neill was fired as soon as he walked through the door :P

i wasnt fired https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
