Popular Post D1RTY6 Posted July 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thought i better start a project thread for my latest toy... Its a 1980 Series 1 RX7 SA22C Brought it off one of my mates who has owned for 6+ years, he had lost interest in the car scene Has barely seen the road in the 6 years that he has owned it..so i plan to changed that Brought the car on Saturday with a non working clutch, luckily we live right next door to each other so just pushed it over.. Washed of the thick layer of dust and gave it a vacuum to see what i was working, over all its in pretty good condition, few little pieces missing but the important parts are there... Found a little bit of rust in the doors and some surface rust in other places but nothing to major... Ended up fixing the clutch on the Sunday, charged the battery and went for a spin last night..reminds me of a hopped up 2 stroke dirt bike (Cars running a 12a J-port) Need to do a few things for a WOF Bleed Brakes Fix some rust Buy some bulbs Hope for the best Discussion //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/44345-d1rty6s-1980-rx7-rice-rocket/ 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1RTY6 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Busy weekend... Gave the engine fresh fluids, burnt the shit out of my hand on the exhaust, fixed the window wipers and fixed all the rust i could find..(sorry no pictures ) Decided i wanted to flush the old brake fluid for some new stuff but ran out of time, will do one night this week and re-book for WOF anyway here is a picture of the engine bay as someone said they would be interest.... Have tidied it up quite a bit since photo... but you get the general idea The lads at Pine engineering have some 13x7 0 offset SSR MK3s i'm looking at, but i am unsure on how they will look on the car.....couldn't find any pictures of a Series 1s with Mk3s or similar fitted...any body have pictures? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1RTY6 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 So after taking it for a big spin last night i found it definitely has some big flat spots in the tyres from sitting so long.... Serious question, Will a nice little skid even them out or am i better to buy new ones? Bear in mind it had been siting for around 3 years on these tyres and they were dead flat when i went to look at it.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
