93 ONIGIRI build
immigrating from okinawa and working in the rotary biz since 1995, i eventually purchased a 1993 base model FD3S (auto)... yeah. don't ask me why i ended up getting an auto FD, but my future posts will provide useful information.
09/11/04: 75k (9k on rebuild) full stock, except for the after market stereo system. Last edited by 93ONIGIRI; 07-04-2008 at 12:39 PM.. Reason: i had to set up a new photobucket account. |

That's an awful big box for a single 10" sub (?) But then again I'm just jealous.

08/22/2005: 78K (TRANNY SWAP)
After this experience, I highly recommend that if you plan to purchase an FD, definitely pick up a Manual Transmission. The cost for doing the tranny swap varies, which the following indicates my route: USED PARTS: MANUAL DIFFERENTIAL MANUAL DRIVESHAFT MANUAL TRANSMISSION MANUAL STARTER CLUTCH PEDAL MANUAL ECU TOTAL USED PARTS: $1,283.04 NEW PARTS: CLUTCH PIPE (FD01-41-360A) $8.19 CLUCH PIPE (FD01-45-510D) $8.19 HOLDER (FD03-41-370) $6.63 HOLDER (FD00-41-370) $5.94 CLIP (0136-43-635) $0.94 (need 2) PAD (FB01-64-495) $1.50 INSULATOR (FD01-64-495) $39.94 CLUTCH MASTER (FD01-41-990B) $88.88 CLUTCH SLAVE (FD01-41-920) $76.25 CLUTCH RELEASE FORK (N315-16-520B) $77.38 EXTENSION HOUSING SEAL (R501-17-335A) $13.94 OIL SEAL (H501-17-103) $3.13 SPINDLE (R503-17-550) $40.69 SHIFTER BUSHING (0398-17-462A) $3.75 MANUAL WIRE HARNESS (N3A1-18-05ZG) $700.00 TRANNY/STARTER BOLTS $35.55 CLUTCH RELASE BEARING (N315-16-510) $66.88 TOTAL OEM PARTS: $1178.72 EXEDY TWIN PLATE CLUTCH $1355.00 B&M SHORT SHIFTER $129.02 MOMO SHIFT KNOB $84.00 STAINLESS STEEL CLUTCH LINE $38.00 TOTAL AFTERMARKET PARTS: $1606.02 GRAND TOTAL: $4067.78 Last edited by 93ONIGIRI; 07-04-2008 at 01:53 PM..

08/22/2005: 78K (FUEL FILTER, DIFFERENTIAL MOUNTS)
As I was doing the tranny swap, it was a good time to replace the fuel filter, which needed replacement after hard morning start ups. RP Fuel Filter This is probably one of the worst locations for replacing the fuel filter, which I also decided to replace the differential mounts.

After installing a new fuel filter, it was a good time to install a new fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. Circus Walbro Fuel Pump Rx7 Hyperrev Magazine coverage featuring my supervisor...Kazushi Shinjou Nismo RB26 Fuel Pressure Regulator Last edited by 93ONIGIRI; 07-04-2008 at 01:57 PM.. |

After 12 years of use on the original suspension, it was time to swap out and replace them with new suspension reinforcements. PCR Mazikayo spec Dampers ($5k) Cusco Front Strut Bar 99spec Rear Sway Bar |

07/02/2006: 78K (Cooling)
At this time, all necessary cooling upgrades were add, which modifying a poorly designed intercooler was a must. The original design blocks off the air flow for the radiator, which in Japan a common mod would be to cut a core out (this does not affect the performance of the FMIC).

This is probably one of the worst mods that I have done. Definitely drains if you don't start up within a week, yet convenient fit within its original space. Odyssey Mini Battery and Bracket Nology Hot Wires Sun Auto Hot Earth Mazdaspeed NGK 10.5 |
