Oh and also one of my unit mates was kind enough to draw up this gauge panel in CAD, I got it laser cut and fitted. I have 2 spares if anyone is interested and I'm happy to share the CAD file if anyone wants it:

As usual, I haven't had as much time as I would like on the RX7 but I have managed to get a few bits done. Firstly I've managed to get the wheels and tyres on, they didn't have the Uniroyals so I ended up with some Nexens, hopefully they're OK. I've stuck on some modern centre caps for now but it wo...

I feel for you Hobba, finding this place was a nightmare. I was getting worried I'd have to sell the car and get rid of a load of stuff when I found out we had to clear out of our old place, but luckily we're sorted now. I think there might be some more units available soon if that's of any interest...

I'm planning to run 205/60/14 front and back, which looks like it should work: If you or anyone else have run this size I'd be very grateful to hear your experience with them.

Thanks spirit r, I did actually take the wings off before when I had the shell sandblasted and I don't think I found anything too worrying under there. At some point I'll probably paint the whole car, when I do I might take the wings back off then and use some sealant. Starting to get the engine bay...

I haven't had as much time as I'd have liked on this recently, but I managed to get the engine bay painted at the weekend. Following the rust treatment, I used Rust Anode over anywhere that had been treated. Once that had been rubbed down, I sprayed two coats of epoxy primer, 3 coats of base coat, m...

Engine bay cleaned, keyed and rust wire wheeled: Currently using a phosphoric acid solution to treat the rust, then I'll use Rust-Anode on top of that before carrying on with the paint:

One shiny engine, ready to go: PXL_20241122_141755308.jpg This is what had been reused the last time the engine was built. They make a nice ornament if nothing else: PXL_20241122_145003468.jpg PXL_20241122_145024958.jpg PXL_20241122_145138915.jpg And finally the engine bay almost fully stripped to s...

Right now I'm stripping the engine bay ready for paint and also sorting out brackets for the new radiator and intercooler I've got to go in. Some seriously high-tech fabrication here... What I need to do is make the cowling in front of the radiator a bit wider to accommodate the intercooler, I'll al...

Re-coned the speakers in the front as I found they were knackered when I removed them to run wiring for the Megasquirt: PXL_20241104_155343437.jpg Got the back end put back together, fitted the fuel tank and made up the pipework: PXL_20240826_154613323.jpg PXL_20240826_154558437.MP.jpg PXL_20240826_...
