Excuses Excuses Excuses 
so, you know alot about rotary motors?
excuses are like assholes...Excuses Excuses Excuses
everyone has one, and i love em all...
imma head out to the garage here in a minute so get the f**k off me eh?
nope..
but only one way to learn for me, and thats to get dirty with them...
i mean i know the basics, but im not looking for huge power here, just a basic setup with a fmic and possible mild street port and rebuild...
i got a couple of pics before i got the memory card full message...
need to delete some s**t then ill get em hosted and posted up for ya'll

heres a cellphone pic since thats all i have right now and not much progress today cuz of the shitty weather, but heres the mounts installed..
i think they turned out pretty well, just need to get em painted a different color after i get this thing in and running!

Nice!
are you going to paint up the bay before you put the motor in? at least get it in primer.
no. imma get the engine in and running first...
after its running and the turbo is in the right place for clearance and i have exhaust and s**t i still have some welding to do and inner fenders and s**t to mock up and then ill still have to tuck wires, so the engine will be coming out again...
it sucks, but thats just how fabrication goes...
once its running imma go drag the s**t out of it then tear it all apart again...

thanks bro
well not really updates, but u guys wanted pictures, so here u go..
intercooler pulled off... what a joke for an intercooler, f**king top mounts... bleh
pretty clean engine imo. havent dabbled with it much, and i havent cleaned it yet either...
stock turbo, stock wastegate...
no shaft play or grinding noises, so imma run with it and see how she works!
money shot..
sorry for the blurriness...
another one of the mounts... damn, someone needs to clean this f**king garage...
gonna try and make this fit.. its about and inch narrower than the truck dash, but a little cutting and stretching and some fiberglass should do the trick..
just waiting on a cherry picker...
blitz BOV. spring seems to work fine.. guess we will see til i can afford a nice tial wastegate and bov...
well, hopefully the weather warms up so i can head out and get some s**t done today!

updates
look what i did!
dash fits.... might be making a new tranny tunnel, so might have to do some alterations...
removed the turbo and mani to get the engine mounted..
whatcha think bout dem apples? no cherry picker.. me and a buddy lifted it in..
hard to see, but here is the rx7 rack and pinion... i think i can make it work for my rhd yay
now i just gotta make this wiring work and get rid of half of it lol..
then comes making this brake setup work...
and i found a hell of a deal on a 110 welder, so i bought that today.. $100 works like a champ
now i just have to decide whether to raise my mounts up for a little more clearance and do a new tranny tunnel for turbo clearance and steering clearance then mock up my new mani and my inner fenders...
the fun begins!
