First Drive - '87 RX7 Turbo II Project

[ixelerate]

no THAT'S a long ass driveway lol nice car

[Snaple00]

Did you have the engine street ported or is this stock ports? do you have a write up/ posting of everything you did to this car?

[BigRiggerJ]

true it didnt seem like he knew what he was doing a couple times... but the first time I drove my stang I wasnt sure which gear I was in :) maybe hes learning how to drive stick..

[NJGreenbudd]

your right on, this was the first time the car was driving since I owned it, had a new Stg 2 clutch and heavy duty pressure plate, new short shift kit felt weird and I was just learning how to drive stick to boot. lol This was first time out of the driveway and yup I stalled it....

[BigRiggerJ]

Well, im glad to hear you were learning how-to because there are alot of stubborn people who won't dare go near it. I personally have much more fun driving my stang than my sisters stang for the main reason that she has an auto. I would like to see some new vids man, i would definately watch em if they were in-cars like this one..

[kriegdouch]

holy cow, whats the whirring noise, transmission?

[BigRiggerJ]

Yea definately seems like it...

[NJGreenbudd]

That's the old ring and pinion in the rear differential. It has since been replaced with new LSD, the trans was also replaced with new unit. i need some new vids.

[cxbra]

I love that air/fuel mix digital guage!

[buhrrito]

@cxbra arent those expensive? my friend was trying to sell me one.

[mercom74]

still has to climb mount st helens to get to the re

ad

[IGP06LOCKDOWN]

That car is badass. :D

How much was this?

[rotarycorvette1]

he neeeds a rear end the pinion is striped..,,lol/

[razan8v92]

First car i learned to drive a manual in, my brother had an 87 non turbo when i was little. quick car, tryin to get my hands on one

[kractmajin]

good choice if you don't wanna go turbo, just got a clutch put back in mine and they are quick for na's

[Pyroguy410]

does anyone know if you can get a turbo kit for a 1983 rx7?

[rotarycorvette1]

what i did i bought it for a v8 they sell alot of cheap kits for carburator use and make your own exhaust manifold or buy one.make sure you get the right carb!!

[MrBoffom]

bleh, i hate geting used to new clutch

[youtoob123456]

sounds like your having a good time getting used to that new clutch

[NJGreenbudd]

lol, this was a shot diff and worn trans, both have been replaced with rebuilt units. Sounds much nicer now.

[colinshark]

New diff time!

[myersprostatus]

the whining is the diff, mine does it too. prob due for a rebuild

[Snaple00]

did you keep it stock, if not what turbo set up are you running?

[warzecha0563]

idk what the whining sound is, but my RX7 used to do that too. same exact year and model,

[Fubar865]

hear that little whine? thats a bad rear gear bro. might need to get that fixed

[pimpdaddy7835]

Ahh so you're NJGreenbudd... I've seen your car on the 7 club before and read a few of your threads and I finally know what you look like =D

[NJGreenbudd]

Yup same guy, most of these vids are in my threads on the club, but the car has really come a long way and I need a current video.

I still laugh at my stall, this was just the beginning.....it's all good though, funny but good.

[autocrossaholic]

HAHAHAHAHA hilarious stall. i don't blame you but it's funny.

[spc420]

nice man keep at it. im next to hoboken, nj acquiring an 89 t2

[NJGreenbudd]

Hehe...it sounds crazy with the shot rear end, so much better now. plus the lens cover for the camera was whacking the tripod the whole time and sounds like the car is falling apart.

I've it tuned to 8 psi for now, 10-12psi comes next spring.

[RHzk]

Sounds like kompressor...

[Rx7even]

Why does it look like he's stealing this car, rather then test driving it??

[rx7ricer]

nime arent stock two stage 2's

[laostaboi69]

no its not the tranny its his differentials

[NJGreenbudd]

Yeah the ring and pinion was shot, I have since replaced that rear end with a nice low mileage unit with rebuilt LSD. The trans is actually a low mileage unit with new stage 2 clutch and heavy duty pressure plate.

[elqueesnebuloso]

dude that trans is in bad shape??

[rx7ricer]

Love it bro i also got a 87 turbo II but i just got mine twin turbod she fucking halls ass now what all do you have done to yours?

[SpideyFan6010]

Twin Turbo's on a FC is more of a downgrade.You get more power but you also get the extra hassle of all the vacuum lines and such. You can make more power with less frustration with a single turbo. That is why a lot of FD owners upgrade to a single Turbo instead of the stock twins.

[ridox000supra]

nice fc, wish i had enough money to just vacuum and get a wash. dairy queen just barely allows me to get gas lol. and i giggled a little at the "oops part" i do it everytime i drive a different car lol (in fact that happened last night in my buddys new rx8 lol)

[Bo0stLee]

How are you liking the BNR stage 1?

[NJGreenbudd]

It's great, just what I wanted for this car right now.

[NJGreenbudd]

Thanks for the comments guys, it getting closer everyday. As for the shocks, they are set midway, the front at 2 and the rear at 4.

[scott85500]

Nice car but learn how to drive stick!!!!

[geraldo787b]

nice rx7 bro! keep up and stay with rotary! take care

[legendNdamaking]

Just getting familiar with that stage 2 clutch?

Nice 7 bro. Keep us posted on progress.

p.s. how much did you spend on the motor?

Is it a swap?

[speedinquest]

dam man, soften up the shocks, just cuz the dial goes to 10 doesnt mean it makes it handle better. looks like its riding like ass, nice car though

[xxjerrisxx]

nice job on ur rx it sound dam good i just went and bought me an 88 gxl tue. and i wouldnt about the stall we all do it every once and a while
