ha, by any chance is that a hiace? the old mans van had the identical outcome after the local garage did the cambelt and didnt clip the hose back into its hook thing.

It looks good going down the road

oh Hi!. na nothings changed been busy with other stuff the last few months, will get back to it over summer hopefully. You should put up a build thread with some pics of yours

So do the likes of HPC dip them?

these coatings/wraps. where does the heat go? doesnt the stuff just keep the heat in the material/exhaust which cant be good?

they are. theyre bailing on drag racing all together.

is it balanced/dowelled? also did you say you had it pieced together by mark haynes? (I think you mentioned that ages ago to me but I cant remember) ugh, that sounds like 4 days of lag. smaller turbo for me itl be.

what are the deets on your block? and what turbo are you running? (going back through your stuff you mention like 3 or 4 different models) also what rpm you seeing full boost?

wtf. how did I miss Sainsbury? like how? would have been watching had I have realised it was on.

I waited about 5-6 weeks for some of my weatherstrips to arrive from mazda japan, I guess they couldnt find them on the shelf or something haha. what the phils ones cost you?

I saw a build thread somewhere, I forget where, about a dude with an rx4. He picked up a set of 16x8 simmons f90s for $140 from a local op shop/second hand store.

do any of you follow build-threads.com? Here's a Ferrari F40 warning:its very picture heavy http://www.build-threads.com/build-threads/ferrari-f40-lm-restoration/

I dont know if this would be of any interest to you, I saw this ad a week or 2 ago http://www.racingjunk.com/Street/181895187/1971-mazda-rotary-engine.html

flash dash! was that vacuum moulded/covered (or whatever it is) by dashboard restorations? doesnt look like it was just normally re-wrapped? either way it looks really good!

THIS IS EXCITING. whats it going to be running on? (besides small children)

theres a bunch of sweet numbers I was after. cheers for that.

hey man. I was doing a google search and came across some thing you posted on some other forum about you tearing apart your old engine. Do you know what the engine internal dimensions on these (Im assuming 30D and 30R are the same) are like compared to ej20 stuff? like the big end sizes, rod lengths etc?? wikipedia says the ej has a larger bore then ez but theres stuff all info anywhere else and Im curious

I vote you should should just leave it as it is. it looks awesome ps keep the sunroof

shit you're useful sometimes spenno. This sounds easier than I thought it was going to be.

Oh really, So compressors are all pretty interchangeable then. Based on what I was reading here I thought it was all going to blow up on me or something haha. good news. Will work the rest of it out later whats H-12a?

As per spam fred. SHGWAG I wana know if your FD air con stuff is R12 or R134a cos all the stuff I have (JC cosmo compressor, and series 1 rx7 everything else) runs R12. Im running on the assumption/hope that FD compressor will use the same mounting bracket as the cosmo unit (Ive seen a pic, its looks the same) and runs R134a to save me some pissing around setting all this stuff up later.

the next one on the 31st? (the week after Auckland)

If the car cant get to Hamilton and depending on timing etc I could probably give you a ride from Hamilton to Te Awamutu as I drive back and forth a million times a week.

where do you live? I should be there, I think.
