Alrighty. Got an alignment done yesterday. Today I tracked down a horrible driveline vibration to a bad rear u-joint. So that's next on the list.
|
don't let it break. It could cause more damage.
|
Sweet.. Dont lose that Wing man it is the 'Pièce de résistance'
|
Driveshaft back on with new u-joints. I can finally get up to highway speeds SWEET!

This is one of the best threads I have seen in a long while.. you found a diamond in the rough and are fixing it up right.
MAJOR props to you. I am soo happy to see it getting fixed up. KEEP the wing. Its the correct look for the body, ugly or not. Some cheezy rice wing may look better in a drift competition.. but that is true to the car. Putting FD tailights wouldt look proper on the car.. nor would a different wing. (Other than the IMSA wing... but the whaletail is SOOOO rare!) Nice work.. love the car.. will try to keep an eye on the thread as you progress! |
Thanks Scott!
I really did save this car. The guy I got it from was just going to part it out and junk it. So I have no reservation on modding the shit out of it. Going all out with no regret. |
any updates?
|
Yeah actually. A local guy is parting out his turboII. I've got dibs on the engine, tranny, hybrid turbo, and microtech. yeah bitches!
I was going to do a carbed half-bridge 13B, but I hate to pass up a good opportunity so the plan has changed. The turbo engine will make more power and have better gas mileage. |

man.. that thing is gunna be freaking sweet. Just wish i was still in NC to see it in person. :)
|
You wish you were still here in J-ville? haha, yeah right.
Once I get this new engine in and running, she'll be the fastest '7 in town. Since there's only like 5 of us anyway, and none of the FD's run. I still can't believe I sold my TII last year! |
OH MAN!! you sold it?? that thing was a beauty... yeah, i do wish i was out there. there are ZERO real tracks on Okinawa.. A couple hours from J-vill you got VIR, Road Atlanta, Lowes, man.. i want some real track time.
car looks great man. |
Well I don't have the TII engine in yet.
I took the car on her maiden voyage anyway. I had to replace the water pump, but after that I drove all the way to Raleigh for an NC Rotaries meet. I made it round trip 290 miles on one tank of gas!! That's with the 600cfm Edelbrock on the 12A. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...8f38b0cc_b.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...55947830_b.jpg |
That makes me want to get a FB/SA.... STOP DISTRACTING ME!
