I was gonna get the wheels on my red FC powder coated black, go for it!

Matter of fact I painted to GXL wheels black, and 2 bronze to see which I (and anyone who cared to comment) liked better. On the red car is was black all the way. But on a black car, bronze hands down.

 

bronze for the win. wow that exhaust was hacked together lmao! did you have any luck finding a lock cylander?

 

No luck as of yet, Ive been away for a while and havnt been able to locate one for a decent price. And yes the exhaust was a hack job. And bronze is a no go for the wheels as it will be rattle can paint until I find rims I like for the back.

Also, forgot to mention. I got my order from eBay in, a new set of injector connectors, As I was told that could be one of the issues with the motor. So thats one step closer as soon as I get them wired in and plugged in.

 

Ahhh, the sweet smell of progress......followed by the sweet smell of a bridgeport running off the stock ecu

 

Ahh yes... Very sweet indeed. But it will soon be a BP-T .. After that I will be investing in some aftermarket engine management.

 

...BP-T huh..... sounds like someone has gotten bit by the rotary bug

On a serious note though...I hope that SAFC and WB are on the way, cuz it's hard enough running a BP on the stock ECU. A BP-T will blow your motor for certain unless :
A) you stay out of boost
B) you don't drive it

Keep us updated, and "may the force be with you"

 

The BP-T will not even be attempted to run on the stock ECU... As for the WB and SAFC, not yet. Im trying to get the little bugs fixed and then I will head that direction. My uncle has a '91 vert with a 40k original mile motor, that he is parting out(maybe selling) and I might pick up that motor and start my own ported project, that way I know its done right.

EDIT** picked up the ignition today, so my car officially has keys!!!

 

New ignition tumbler with lock cylinder was installed. I attempted to install the S2000 push starter by the write up done on RX-7 Owners Club - Powered by vBulletin. Well it blew the circuit so, I now have a $62 paper weight. I am going to buy a cheap little $13 momentary from the auto parts store to make sure everything is wired correctly then I will proceed to purchase another button. No pics as of yet, because my digi cam is in my truck which is parked on the side of the road because the alternator failed. So pics will be soon.

Electronics just aren't your friends!

Hope you get everything sorted out soon.
