93 Buildup - A new day is dawning

REVIT93RX7 · 02-08-2009, 09:10 AM

OK the day has finally arrived! My 93 has finally been sent off to be painted. So I guess that is where it starts. I plan on the following changes:

Some new clear lights for the bumper side etc.
JKL Engineering front CF lip
Completely updated suspension, including polishing the control arms etc.
New 13B, not rebiult all new
Interior changes to deal with the paint peeling on the 93s' plastics
Complete performance computer with 7" TFT displa(more on that in future updates)

More changes as I get closer to completion

Great project. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

REVIT93RX7 · 02-08-2009, 02:43 PM

Thanks. I'm really excited about getting this project under way. The car should be back in about 1 month. Then the fun really begins. These cars are just too good to just let go. I've owned the car since Sept 1992. It will be better than new. Will have some new technology to show I hope when this one is done.

Awesome your probably an hours drive from where I am. Looks like your definitely starting off on the right foot. I'll defintely gonna keep an eye on this project in the future.

REVIT93RX7 · 02-08-2009, 07:55 PM

Hey thanks. Once I get this thing going will have to have a get together with as many RXs' we can find.

Where are you getting the new engine, I think Ray is all sold out last I heard and I didnt know they planned on any more new ones anytime soon?

I'm assembling the engine from new parts. I get a deep discount from my local MAZDA dealer. I will then have numerous coatings applied to the rotors etc. The irons will be sprayed the car color(RED) and the housings will be polished. Should be wonderful when completed. Thanks for asking.

David Jerome · 02-11-2009, 12:49 PM

Gotcha, Mazda ran some great deals on new engines recently and I was wondering if you were getting one of those as I was wondering if they planned on releasing any new ones.

REVIT93RX7 · 02-12-2009, 12:07 PM

I know Rotor Sports Racing had 6 new engines mid-summer last year. Don't know if they still have any. You may want to send them an email.

Thanks

Jim

Unfortunately no new pics at this time. The body shop has been kinda slow. But they called and want my approval on the paint. I chose to go with the original vibrant red. But the clear coat will have better UV protectant than the original. This should help with the fading. Also, no orange peel will be tolerated so we will see how they do.

Same thing I'm planning when I get around to painting mine.

Hey that sounds good. The body shop should have some color on some of the body sometime this week. It's starting to get exciting again!

REVIT93RX7 · 03-29-2009, 01:00 PM

What do you guys think of my new engine bay?

Max777 · 03-29-2009, 01:20 PM

dope boi fresh!

haha!

too bad that most of that bay will be hidden under all the wiring, tubing, and other engine acessories.

REVIT93RX7 · 03-29-2009, 02:50 PM

Yeah that's true but at least I will know what was done. Thanks
