Finally got around to dropping in the engine and installing the full exhaust from header to mufflers.

So a little update. I got to start my car for a good heart-warming minute only to realized I had installed an automatic chassis harness.I had to run power from the battery to a plug that had nothing connected to it. Once the current touched the plug bam! starter got power and the FC started pumping some blood again. Now, I have to remove that harness and put the original harness back on (long story why I switched out the chassis harness.) I also realized that my radiator cracked so I have to install this Godspeed Radiator I just recently picked up. But overall I am happy I got to hear is run for one good minute. I love how the Cusco Strut Tower Brace and Racing Beat Silicone Radiator Hoses match.

I'll be posting a new picture with the new radiator and I'll try to post up a video of the engine running. I hope you guys enjoy the pictures of my build, if you have any questions feel free to ask. I will say one thing having your rotary engine start after such a long time of being out of commission is a very great feeling.

Love it!

Johnson: thanks

Let's see how this radiator holds up. It's better looking than an oem replacement but time will tell.
Godspeed Radiator

nice to see it up and running dude. Man i can't wait for that moment when mine starts up again

It's just one of those things you have to experience to appreciate. I literally fell in love with my car all over again

So it has been a while since I posted on my build. I recently got my car on the road and I am putting in break in miles as we speak. Installed the Godspeed Radiator after modification to the stock radiator brackets. Purged the system, fixed the idle, and aligned the mufflers (still missing the hanger O-rings "no biggie"). I also purchased a cusco rear strut tower brace. My dad and me cut a small square notch into the strut towers to run the bar through. I love how it turned out.

let me guess, the radiator cracked at the filler neck? my bro has that same rad, and the neckncracked because it would hit the hood

and i wish my father would get bored and work on my car for me lol

good work, looks really nice

Actually when we first installed the radiator we noticed that it would hit the filler neck. So we just lowered it even more to have good clearance between the hood and the filler cap. I love working on my rx7 with my pops, he loves that car almost as much as me.
