Kerrigan's '93 Touring

[Kerrigan]

A brief introduction: I bought the car in March of 08 with 81,444 miles on the dash. A few dents were on the car and some of the interior was cracked but other than that it was in pretty good condition. I've got all of the paper work on the car since the first owner (I'm currently third) kept the records for everything. Its on its second engine, with about 20k deep so far. Right before I deployed in July of last year the throwout bearing/wedge collar gave out so its been sitting since then! Just pulled it out and took a look, had to send it to a shop since the wedge collar and throwout bearing apparently "melded together" as the shop said. So anyway, I bought some parts tore up my hands and have sworn a lot on this thing in the very few months I've driven it, but I love it to death.

Parts List:

-ACT HD MM Clutch Kit
-Trust PE II Cat Back

What the hell is JASMA?

[Mr_13B]

Clean car!!!

JASMA means its street legal in Japan...

[WE3RX7]

Looks like a nice find!

Good luck, and get ready to swear at least 1mil more times :)

[Phoenix7]

clean car, can't wait to see it when it's done.

[dregg100]

you gonna make it to DGRR? and you copied my wheels!!! lol

[rotorhead87]

Damn! thats a super clean FD. Those pics look great BTW, what camera are you using?

[Teenwolf1393]

this car has been a struggle to work on. my back hurts from this car and i wanna kick it then kiss it and tell it im sorry.

[REVIT93RX7]

The car looks very clean. Yeah these cars get under your skin. But she's going to be beautiful when done!

[Kerrigan]

you gonna make it to DGRR? and you copied my wheels!!! lol

You better believe I'll be at DGRR. Yeah i stole your wheels...I almost bought some SSR Type F RS's but then i realized how much I still had to spend on maintenance... So I opted for something a little cheaper. I've spent so much this week on parts its driving me insane. It's all worth it in the end though, I know :P

Camera is Sony Alpha 100 that I've had for a few years. Great bang for the buck now.

[prrex4ever]

Very clean car and a lot of nice parts. Good luck with her.

[Kerrigan]

Everything was fixed, and then the AST went kaput. Engine overheated in the span of about a minute, in between my glances at the gauges... I'm ordering the Pettit AST as i type this hoping the damage was minimal. God hates me :( and this RX7

[dregg100]

just eliminate the AST and save youself $150

[Kerrigan]

Kinda scared about that and I've already spent the 150. Going to check the car for any damage, I'm hoping its minimal since i stopped running it as soon as i noticed the overheating.

I'll pray to the apex gods for your coolant seals.

Nice parts pile there :) I'm especially interested in the Stance coilovers. Please post your review after they're installed.

Hopefully your motor is okay after that incident.

And dregg100, you copied MY wheels. Lol jk

[Kerrigan]

AST installed but unfortunately the coilovers are still at my house. Car runs fine, just a few small air leaks from old and crusty stock intake hoses. Going to look around for a few new ones. I hate the burping noise i get when i let off throttle...very annoying. Anyway we'll see how she lasts. *knocks on wood*

Edit: Ooh I get to take pictures today too! Cant wait to show off the monster truck stance.

[Teenwolf1393]

your a whore

hurry up and get back so we can get the suspension in before DGRR

but our cars will probably never be in the same location at the same time. kerrigan's and mine will! lol!!

[Kerrigan]

That'l take ten minutes. Im more worried about finding a room for it. Im not trying to sleep in the seven...

[Kerrigan]

Finally got some pics on a computer with internet. This is right after i washed it for the first time in ten months...no wax in the pictures. I'll get some better ones when i've got more time and the suspension is set up.

[Kerrigan]

Radiator cracked! Can't believe this thing right now...It's a slow leak, hardly anything comes out at all but i can smell it and see the wet spot on the rad. Just ordered a Koyo N-Flow from RX7 Store a few minutes ago. Sigh...this thing is KILLING my bank account right now. I was going to go home and get my suspension this weekend too :'(

Soon enough everything will be right...

[RIZZXX7]

damn, what luck!!! but you need to change that POS stock radiator anyways

[Kerrigan]

Yeah I mean at least im getting it out of the way. Next paycheck is going to urethane coolant hoses and im replacing all of the turbo vacuum lines as well.

Your car Ti Grey Metallic or is that a custom color?

[RIZZXX7]

its custom
