my 13bt, back together again after replacement of inlet/turbo gaskets, bearings and de emissioned etc

motor and gearbox

now i just got to hope the block isnt stuffed, has good compression and what not only real issue will be if water seals are perished or not. but if its stuffed its stuffed,and if so time for a rebuild, which i wont mind having a go at anyway :lol::rolleyes:

one step closer to rotreeness :lol:

ps motor on a lean because i have to make an extension for the gearbox crossmember, reason being rx7 gbox crossmember mount position to the tunnel is different between the auto and manual, if that makes sense, so yeah :rolleyes:

so yeah i ripped nolathane diff bush and broke diff mount by doing too much casual driving, so while i replaced that stuff i ended up doing other stuff;

rebuilt lsd and shimmed up nice and tight

solid front diff bush

reinforced diff mount

solid subframe bushes

solid rear diff mounts

toe eliminators

bc coilovers

rest of bushings nolathane

cusco strut brace

machined tie rods and rack spacers for hopefully a bit of extra steering lock

manual steering conversion for max powah response

still needed/wanted if engine/clutch/something random doesn't die first

WOF

burnouts in an effort to break more stuff

flash new swaybars

flash new swaybar links

rear strut brace

new brakes/upgrade etc

flimsy broken diff mount

fixed diff mount now 309% stronger and rubber mount now made out of a block of metal thanks to sentras fancy hands (shot g)

motor = apart

good; rotors are mint, enplates are goodish cond (might need a skim), um thats about it

bad; 1 housing is junk other is borderline and probably wont use it, oil pump is junk, all seals are borderline to fail so none will be used again, corner seal springs were all flat and/or jammed, a myriad of other minor things

so all in all i have success in conquering/destroying rotary engine

will decide what im going to do with motor later

cbf with pictures use your imagination cunts
