My サバンナFC3S
 
Well my FC has been my first car, and like every RX7 owner you have a love hate relationship with your car. I blew my engine during spring break of my freshman year of college.

After much patience I finally sent my engine to Lucky7Racing in El Monte California to get rebuilt.

Here are a couple of pictures of my series 5 N/A engine as it gets turbo sleeves installed and a medium street ported.

Since we have to wait for a couple of parts to come in for the actual rebuild. Fris at Lucky7 painted the engine and mocked it up

A couple of pictures of my brakes before my engine took a dump.
I upgraded from the 1 pot GTU calipers to the 4 piston calipers from a series 5 vert model. Had them rebuilt, same with the rear.

Also came up on an actual GTUs LSD unit for really cheap.
(The LSD unit is on the right)

So my dad has been rebuilding brake boosters and brake master cylinders for a very long time. He finally taught me how to do it. Here is a picture of the new rebuilt booster. I also changed out the clutch master cylinder while I was at it.

Lookin good.

diabolical1 01-28-2011 02:29 AM

the ports look good. i also like what you did with the brakes. how involved is it to rebuild a brake booster?

good job overall.

Gabriel82 01-28-2011 03:28 AM

Hmmmm well my dad has a lot of inventory so he had the replacements for the diaphragms inside. Basically you open up the booster take out the diaphragms, change them out, check out the seals, re-grease the seals and the hub. Paint the shells. It's a little tricky, but luckily my dad has decades of experience so he guided me through the process.

As for the port job thanks, Fris at Lucky7Racing is doing a great job.

So the engine should be arriving this week. I'll post some more pictures of it once I get a chance. I'll also put some before and after pictures of the transmission after I gave it a good cleaning. + a couple of before and after pictures of the power steering after it had it rebuilt. Too bad I won't be able to install the engine until I finish up this term =/ at least I'll get to install my engine with the whole RB Street Exhaust system after I get more money.

Very nice job. Have to ask, what do the japanese letters in your title mean?

Gabriel82 01-31-2011 12:01 AM

サバンナ means Savanna
so essentially my thread says:

My Savanna FC3S RX7

I just converted Savanna from english to Japanese using a translator.

lh6601 01-31-2011 08:14 AM

Ah makes sense. :icon_tup:

Gabriel82 02-01-2011 05:54 PM

Engine is almost done just needs the intake manifold, block off plates, etc.
