Hey guys, been a while since I posted but have done some much needed TLC to the sev after a couple of years of neglect.

Will let the pictures do the talking:

Sorry about the quality but will get some better ones once its back on the ground.

So from the back to the front, items are:

New 4.3 S2 Rx7 LSD Diff head (was 3.9)

New Upper & Lower Nolythene Control arm bushings

New UJ's on the D Shaft

6Lb Fly wheel dowel (bolt) jointed and clutch/pressure plate machined/resurfaced

Gearbox painted/seals/oil

Motor out and painted

Oil squirters deleted

Bit of detailing on motor

IDA filter replaced, carb cleaned, manifold painted, new springs, bits and pieces (will go in for a tune so may replace jets etc as runs a bit rich)

New Radiator lines & Cap

Exhaust wrapped and realigned

New Pulleys and belts! (Ah Yee yah)

New nolythene bushings on all front arms and steering joints + painting etc (already full adjustable height, camber and castor with brake upgrade etc etc)

Other bits painted like steering master and clutch slave etc

Misc items that I can't remember....so much stuff that eats it all up

All to go is to reassemble the interior and get a new steering wheel!!

Last but not least, a massive thanks to my mate Gian (Bridge it baby ( did a 300whp REW13B swap into a FB couple years back)) for all the work and help etc. Can't speak highly enough.

Anyway, enjoy these pics and there should be more to follow!!

A carbon hood would really look at home on your car.
