nice, post some pics

First major problem today. Going down the road and lost brakes
Brought it home, some idgit had spliced in a new section of brake line; no big deal if done correctly. However, this was spliced in with an Aluminum Fuel union fitting. Damn thing split in 2! |
Bitch List:
1. Hood Support Ribs/Structur is loose. Waiting on a tube of DURAMIX NVH to be delivered to correctly fix problem 2. Brake Line: Temp Repair Saturday/ 90/10 CU-Ni Brake Line on order 3. Rear Brakes, they are toast. Waiting on RESPEED Brackets to convert to Disc Rears |

Rear Brakes, they are toast. Waiting on RESPEED Brackets to convert to Disc Rears fix the hood! the rx2 is notorious for having the outer hood skin pop off while you're driving anyways. you should be adding a couple of spot welds to the front. finding a new hood is hard! |
oh and just to follow up, crazy ralph says you put the rx7 struts in for the better brakes too.
you need 74 rx4 steering arms, they use the rx2/3 balljoint but the rx7 strut bolt pattern. and then you need the rx4 tie rods, cause they are straight, and not at an angle like the rx2/3. the rx2/3 tie rods bind up. or hell you could put nissan z struts in there too, 5 lug.... |
Not going to weld the hood. There is a system : DURAMIX NVH
It is designed for repairs to hood supports and door skins |

oOoo sexah! it beats my nads!
|
ARG!!!! I have water in my trunk!!!! :(
Its either the rear window or the trunk seal, must investigate |
make sure its got a way to get out, lest it rust the boot!
|
Fixed the hood yesterday, well at least for the time being. Used a 3M 2 Component foam to adhese the frame back to the sheetmetal. No more straps across the hood and no more fluttering hood! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

Thank you. I am clearing up the little problems with the car. I already rebuilt one front windscreen defroster vent, the other will be fixed soon. My big concern is the front suspension and the window sill/channel rot |
Awesome car!
My stock seats are gone to hell! I need some new seats.. any recommendation on seats and how hard is it to swap?? Also, I'm looking for a gas door.. |

If I am not mistaken I know a little history of that car and owner back in 1999 or 2000???Maybe earlier. It was here in my area, from Newports News, VA. The prior owner was stationed at Ft Eustis, VA. The car I believe blew the engine up and he sold it for $1700 at that time and I don't know what happened after...... |
