Why are you selling it?

Complicated I guess...
Legal bills, normal bills, family pressure...
If it doesn't sell, then I'll put it in the car.

Engine is getting stacked today!
It's going in the car on Saturday!
GAWD DAMNED FINALLY...

I'll post some updates on everything this afternoon, and throughout the day on Saturday.

Awesome, glad to see you're keeping it. Let us know the results, I'm eager to see how it does.

good to see it's not getting shelved indefinitely. i guess it's just a matter of waiting until Saturday.

:lurk5: Can't wait!

well.. as my recent luck would have it, we were missing a set screw in the stationary gear... *rips out hair*

Called the local Mazda dealer, and they wanted $15 + $5 shipping, and Friday delivery.. I laughed at the guy and hung up. Called Racingbeat and they told me that the dealer list price is $7... gota love the stealorship. Racing beat didnt have any, so they directed me to Mazdatrix. The were able to ship one priority mail for cheaper than mazda, so we should still be on track for Saturday... FML.. lol

Yeah, the dealer markup on prices is ridiculous. Just like the ignition coils they want $65 a piece for, when I can get them at oreilys for $33 with a lifetime warranty, and its the same damn part. I dont get why they want to run off their customers by giving them the shaft every time you need something...

So if all goes well will we be seeing this car at DGRR?

Of course.. it will be there regardless. It was there last year, but there was nothing really special about it. I have something else I'm hoping to surprise people with by deals gap, but it all depends on how much time i have to get it done...

yes, gotta love it. it vexes me to no end since i can't express my full contempt for these dealers, and to an extent even MNAO. :36:

You can assemble a motor with out the stationary gears. What set screw are you talking about anyways

The Renesis engines come with set screws in the stat gears for the bearing.

So much hate for Mazda dealers :) You should have called me. I can get parts from our local friendly dealership for right at cost. You have to be nice, and get to know people :)

Seriously. I just ordered a bunch of OEM shit for the 84 GS for much, much less than I could get anywhere, even used. And we are talking interior bits and door seals and shit.

YAY for more setbacks...
Apparently Atkins left out a side seal, and sent RX7 FD apex seals... They're sending me the correct seals, so it will be 3~6 more weeks before I have another opportunity to try and put the motor in. I'm not very confident that it will be ready for deals gap, but we'll see...
