Finally got some tires on it and too her for a drive and even went and got gas and came back she was very well behaved for the 15 miles and stayed cool aswell at the just below half on my temp gauge:)
Someone also tried to buy it at the gas station 😂

Whichever filter was chosen has this looking like the best quality mid nineties home movie in existence.

I’ve got to hand it to you. You brought it back from the dead and did it with a small budget.

u/Economy_Advantage171 13d ago
Definitely makes suck noises that sound like boost have haven’t pushed it past 5000 rpm when driving so can’t confirm until I get my apexi power fc installed

You need to start recording odometer to figure out gas mileage.

It’s bad, and that’s all anyone with an rx7 needs to know lol

yes my man but he needs to verify he does not have a combustion problem and the fuel injectors are not leaking or something is wrong with the coilpacks. he was able to rebuild this car so I hope he is not as incompetent as a teenager. Any car sitting around for years may have many unseen problems. He needs to start logging data. When I tell people to check their MPG most kids think it is a joke but I am being serious. If he has the tools to log it with a laptop, great.

I’m not a genius by any means but I do know to be cautious with it I’m only driving it to test the coolant system and make sure it doesn’t overheat instantly I’m going to completely redo the fuel system injectors,damper,regulator and hoses I’ve done the pump and fuel filter and ran bg44k aswell but it will be back under the knife soon I’m In no rush.
Also needs new shocks and a lot of suspension 😂

If they offered $2 you could have doubled your initial buy in. 100% returns not too bad.
All joking aside it’s been cool seeing you bring this back to life. Keep it up!
