My project car.
Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2008 10:53 pm
I haven't been spending nearly as much time around here as I used to since I acquired a project car. Figured some of you guys may be interested in it, so I thought I would post up.
The car is a 1983 Mazda RX-7 GSL. Is originally had the 1.1 liter 12A carbeurated rotary, but the previous owner said it had a massive oil leak. I intend to rebuild the motor (assuming none of the housing pieces are cracked) and use it in something else (Locost maybe...?). In its place is going to be a 1.3 liter twin-turbo 13B-REW motor from a JDM 3rd gen RX-7.
Needless to say, traction will be an issue. We intend to set it up for road racing.
We have only stripped most of the body down thus far. It need a good bit of body work, so it'll be a while before we get around to putting everything back together. Also, we are having a bit of a communications problem with the person we were going to be getting the motor from.
I'll post pics later if I remember.
