  1. So I did some searching and I found that a lot of people are using a 2nd gen rx7 (fc) oil cooler. I am in the position of picking up a newer rx7 (fd) cooler for free.

    Does anyone know if it is a decent cooler? Has anyone used one? I know what I need to get it to fit and work, I just would like to get some input on the FD cooler.

     

    This is the one I will be getting:

    Thanks!

  2. I am in Columbia right now. I spend some time in Mt. Pleasant and Beaufort also. I think I remeber seeing that you lived in South Carolina but I might be mistaken.

     

    Really! Yeah, I am spending some time in SC. I live, work and go to school in Beaufort. If you swing by Beaufort before December 20 we should meet up! Grab a bite or some coffee.

  3. I LOVE the turbo! I've driven a buddies NA zx and there is no comparing the two! Turbo all the way! Lots of potential from the L28. Yes I am using the factory BW T-5 tranny with the tri-ax. Big difference in shift speed and quality.

  4. Yes those tail lights fit on an 83!

     

    The bushings are really straight forward. I just did mine about a month ago and I love them! I used only hand tools also. You will have trouble with the control arm bushings because the new ones are bigger than the old. There is a metal sleeve inside that you either A.) need to cut out with a hacksaw, hammer and flathead(how I did it) or B.) get use of a press and punch out those sleeves. Other than that little hiccup I had no issues.

     

    Car looks real nice Smokescreen! I did all the smoking of my lights too. I just left the brake lights red.

  5. If you end up replacing it make sure you soak the bolts overnight with PB Blaster. Even then, at least one bolt is almost guaranteed to snap off when you try to remove it. You might want to invest in a set of easy-outs our you are at it.

     

    x2!!

    Had one snap out when I was helping a friend replace his water outlet..thing.. I think he picked up a replacement from a junkyard for $20. Very big PITA for a very simple part when that bolt snaps!
