AZRR CYM FD Build Coming Together

[WE3RX7]

I thought everybody in PHX has an A/C garage, lol.

I plan to move to Queen Creek, AZ in 2010 for work I'm really looking forward to the rotary scene out there and seeing that CYM in person!

I know... you bought Chris' car, correct? Sorry for the run of bad luck with the stock motor. She always kept that car pristine. I think Glen will take good care of you. Nice list of mods you've got coming as well. 400 RW is the goal, but I know it will be capable of more. I just need to resist the temptation to go higher once I reach my stated goal. Long term reliability and driveability is MOST important to me (at least right now!) . You're right, Glen is EXTREMELY busy right now, but he's having fun playing with their new ultrasonic parts cleaner. It does an incredible job getting old grease and grime off of engine parts.

Running a Koyo radiator. The bottom side outlet will be cut off and sealed up. I'm modding the engine side end tank to add a divided end tank and outlet on the drivers side of the rad. I'll post up some of my cardboard mockup pics tonight. 450 RX-8 primaries came highly recommended by Paul Yaw of Yawpower here in Phoenix. He has a longstanding reputation of building some of the best Mazda spec racecars in the country. He feels they are the best stock primary injector that he's ever seen. Incredible atomization. In fact Aaron who works for Paul is running them as stock primary injectors on a Gen 2 bridge port and it idles perfectly. As far as sizing goes I feel the dual 450s will be more than adequate for primaries.

Can't wait to see it all finished Tim! Keep working!

Hmmm.... I thought you knew about this car Andy. I had it at Sevenstock's IV through IX, but haven't had it there the past 2 years, so maybe that's why you haven't made the connection. Can't wait to drive her next year

Don't I wish my garage had AC. Quite honestly, I think I was just burned out on the car for a few months. It took me some time to get re-energized. Stay in touch if you happen to make it to Queen Creek. We have a great group of people who love to get out and drive!!

Oh yea... here's a quick mockup shot of the hood after receiving it back from the paint shop a few months back. Bear in mind that nothing is bolted together in this pic....

This car is the reason my wife and I fell in love with FDs (and why we have one ourselves now) and she will be so glad to see you painted that hood. Definitely less ricey and more classy than the raw CF weave.

Ground X intake manifold? Is this another name for the Xcessive Manufacturing LIM or is it something else?

YAA!!! Does this mean we will soon see the big yellow banana on the road? As Jesse said, I love the new hood and I am so glad you painted it. It looks great. Make sure you let us know when you do the engine install. I am sure Jesse would love to help you with it.
Merry Christmas and see you New Years Day up on South Mountain (in your Honda Fit )!

yes its chris's car and she did keep it in nice condition. Glen has been nothing but positive experience to deal with. I am shooting for around 450-475 but i want it to be tuned 350-400 for everyday driving. reliability is very key in my build as well. nice car and hope it says on the road longer than the other AZRR car. The white car out of tucson. I will have to come see the car when i get back from korea. cant wait to see all the rx-7 people in the az area.

I will definitely let you and Jesse know when I'm starting the install. Yes, Fit will be my likely driver on New Year's day. I should be close on the FD, but more than likely mid to late January on getting her back on the road.

Andy, I really weighed the 99 spec front end, but in the end, I decided to keep the stock front end. I really feel that once you move to the 99 spec front end it moves the look of the car too far away from it's original design intent. I may change my mind in the future, but for now, this is how I feel about the "look" of the car.
