Ended project prematurely
So I decided to give up on the fb project. I traded it for a Corrado VR6 that also has upgrades to its brakes and suspension. I was too impressed after driving it to say no. But by no means am I giving up rotaries themselves. If I coulda kept both I would. I'll still be attending rotary meets and he...

Re: Nars GSL-SE the 'White Comet'
I've started dabbling in LSD diffs, yes. It's not quite as simple as comparing FB vs FC. There were 2 FB LSDs. Both clutch type. The FB LSDs came in either race type or street type, which meant the ramp rate was a bit different between the two. The FC had 3 different LSDs. The NA cars had a 7 inch ...

Re: Nars GSL-SE the 'White Comet'
I've got a S4 NA box behind an early style 13B BP and it's more than capable of the power. This isn't an issue but I intend to upgrade it to a S5 turbo box when I put the S5 NA motor in. The ratios are definitely better than FB boxes. I couldn't justify modifying boxes any more than that. I reckon ...

12A engine swap (cont.)
So my planning for this engine swap should include a transmission upgrade. RX7 transmissions have awfully tall ratio's in low-gears, along with a big spread between 2nd and 3rd. Non-turbo transmissions are known to be weak in terms of power handling and durability but the turbo's are quite a bit hea...

12A engine swap
So I've decided to abandon the GSL-SE 13B engine and swap to this... http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/18/69/15/69/ax5hpb10.jpg I found this 12A engine in a pull yard a few month's ago in an earlier-model FB that was apparently junked because its differential exploded. This 12A has obviously been rebuilt...

Re: Nars GSL-SE the 'White Comet'
Yeah that's true you definately get what you pay for... best foglights I ever had were some FET's I had on my Z back in the day (The Z's headlights were even worse then the FB's) that I shelled out $300 for. I plan on adding some high power auxiliary driving lights soon, I need em since I do so many...

Rear Wheel Bearings
So like i said a few days ago, I needed to replace a wheel bearing today. It's actually a rather arduous process on an FB. Funny how the rear axle kinda looks like a rotor if you look at it like this... http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3766/11201586996_5f0bb93200_c.jpg After you remove the axle-shafts ...
