Okay new update everyone!

After getting the wheels and tires on I got to drive on them for two or three months. After those few months my RX-7 would only stay on for a couple minutes before it stopped running. It came out to be the alternator taking a dump on me. Well I decided screw buying a new/reman alternator and save up for a Cosmo 13B-RE. Well this was a hard time for me because she had to sit not running for a couple of months I felt like the alcoholic on a withdraw trapped in mental asylum. Well I got the motor from Canada it was completely blown in both the front and rear housings. So being completely screwed with a worthless motor it left me no choice to rebuild the motor. Instead of paying full price for genuine Mazda parts, I used my friend's Mazda Motorsports account to buy all the gaskets, seals, housings, etc. for the rebuild. As parts arrived to my home I wanted to polish some of the parts like the turbo compressor housing, rotor housings, manifolds, etc.

Here's some pictures of the parts:

FD3S Rotor Housings because they have the bigger exhaust ports, and also I had the exhaust ports opened up a bit. Sorry no detailed pictures of the ports


Brand new S5 waterpump and housing.


Various parts from the Cosmo:


Polished parts that took me a couple of weeks to do:






Please leave a message and feel free to ask any questions. I hope everyone enjoys!
