My FD to be more exact. Today, my father-in-law and I knocked out the cleaning for all of the accessories for the engine. Tomorrow, I'm gonna head up to the track, drop off the parts, and clean the engine bay of the car, and start to reassemble the engine.
I'm going to have to go slow, and take it step by step...work myself through each section of the engine, 'cuz to be honest...this is the first time I've ever put it together.
I'm going to take photos, etc...so this thread will be about the rebuild of the car itself, from the beginning to the end! So watch this thread!
:D

Aw, that creates a vacuum.:undertheweather:
On the good side:shine: , this will delay things until I can go over there :mopedscoot: and lend a hand. Thurs afternoon at the earliest, so keep us posted.
I know yours is a RX-7, but I have a project book for Miata's that spells out how to re-install an engine. I'll be sure to bring it along.

AAX:
While I'm out there assisting you (or laughing, whichever is appropriate), is there someplace I can use to rattle can some motorcycle sheetmetal? My condo neighbors get upset when I do stuff like that on my lanai.

No update yet...but I've gotta start on it soon...it's just been hell finding time to do it. I've gotta put up two new messageboards, and fix one computer, as well. Grrr...

When you say get rid of it, you mean junking it or selling it? I have an FC that needs parts if you're going to junk yours.

Mike, I'll be willing to dedicate one day to help you put the thing together. I got my rear toe links in, so you can have yours back (thanks for the loan). That's right...I have your AST too. Gotta get on the net find one for myself. Thanks again for letting me use parts from your car while it was down.
