Hi guys, Over the weekend I was pulling the rx7 gearbox out of my 323 wagon and had an issue removing the driveshaft from the gearbox tailhousing. Thought it maybe me doing something stupid so removed the driveshaft with the gearbox but I still cant get the driveshaft to come out. I've tried pursauding it with a hammer and wood with no luck. Car was running fine with this setup. Any thoughts on next step? Photo for reference

for fabricating on a car, id go for mig defnitly gas/gasless and as for someone saying arc welders are crap all depends on what you are going to use it for, they all have theyre place and the tig would be no good for panel steel (unless your real good) as they use alot of heat and youl just warp it or blow holes all over was down at mitre 10 mega couple weeks ago, they had a new range of welders in that looked all good for the price (under $1000) for a gas/gasless mig, but in the end you get what you pay for

this thing looks mint gone all out by the looks of it! top job

na not as straigt forward as i first thought, takes bit of playing round to get it fitting up like it should,

its titanium grey, colour of the rx8, got afew lil extra bits in it tho and dont own the mods anymore, those are borrowed wheels as it is

heres some pics of the build up... getting stripped fabricating engine mounts, gbox mounts, rad mounts etc etc etc paint shop and yesterday when i got to take it for a drive

cheers for the comments takn a while to get there, but i have a feeling itl be an ongoing project... i have some plans for the winter if i keep it will throw up some build up pics soon

thought id put up some pics of my car had it since 04 i think, and pulled it of the road to start work on it bought it standard as...first thing i did was lower on some 15's then on modgies and after about a year of the road 13b brigeport, s4 gearbox, panel and paint etc etc etc, just got few finishing touches (been lazy) and itl be out

just weneva i see rotary metioned someone has to jump in and have their say. always loved the coupe's and sedans and love rotary engine's so y not i say.

I no probly not the best place to ask as some users arnt to fond of the rotary engine, i was just wondering if anyone has a website or link or any info on the conversion. would it make a diff on what style e.g couple sedan. cheers

in my 626 ive got custom springs made by 'snells springs' for $400 they make them up to your wanted height and to how hard/soft you want them. that way you get to keep your standard springs aswell i also had my new shocks shortened to keep the springs captive. it may not be cheap all up, but getting warrents isnt a hassle, handles awsome theres practicly no body roll, and its all legal so no hassles from mr plod get it done right the first time
