New Addition to the Family

New Addition to the Family









After months of looking for an RX-7, my Brother-in-law picked up this sweet series 5. We found it locally and couldn't beleive how well it was kept. Unfortunetly, the guy had a big turbo on the car, but no fuel mods. The car was laggy as all hell and had a couple vacuum leaks and minor problems. We switched it back to stock turbo and have been slowly fixing the small issues. The wire harness is in GREAT shape and the plates have a LARGE port job... maybe too large. But, over all nice find.

What?! It Just Needs a Little TLC...

I know it doesn't look pretty, but this aluminum radiator was ONLY $10. I picked it up from onefastrx7turbo on www.azrx7.com. He is building one MEAN looking 3 Rotor and has parts all over the place. I can tell there is a leak at the top of the radiator, but I think it can be cleaned up and fixed. My current stock radiator is perfectly fine, but for 10 duckets, I couldn't pass it up. It's probobly worth more than that as scrap!


The 'Michael Knight' Oil Slick Feature, No More
Also got a catch can so there won't be any oil on the road when I am out boosting.

Enter the Series 5 Turbo

Enter the Series 5 TurboI bought this from 87 t-66 on http://www.rx7club.com/ along with the Series 5 Manifold. Thanks for a well-kept turbo and a helluva deal. This is what it looked like when I got it. Not bad, but we've added some surprises to this seemingly stock turbo. All I can say at this point is, the waste gate has been ported, and the serial numbers above the waste gate door have been shaved off. The other surprise on this baby is coming soon.
