Well, moisture/mildew seems gone. Thank god.

CEL comes and goes, still not sure what it is, but hasnt affected anything to my knowledge.

Import Alliance is this sunday, i plan to be there with people if anyone is going and is in the MD area, the convoy leaves at 8:30am.

Been awhile since ive had any updates, nothing new has come up. Haha, ill have to get some pictures done up when my new phone comes in this week though.

Ive been doing some research recently into having the car repainted/recleared over the winter time.

I can get the Paint/Base/Clear for $350 give or take on top of Labor costs from a shop.

On top of that, ive had my eyes set on a set of Oldschool Rx7 BBS wheels to top off the new paint.

For those who dont know what they look like, Ive attached a picture.

Meanwhile. I finally got all the parts together to redo my oil return line. Seeing how the current one i had was leaking, nor has it been flowing right for the bigger turbo.

Soon as i get someone to weld the new -10 AN fitting on the new oil pan, i can commence the job and oil change.

Vibrant fittings woot.

 

[TurboRex90]

Finally got another oil pan tapped and ready for install. Cleaned the shit out of it, and painted it rustoleum matte black.

Also degrease the engine bay so it looks a bit cleaner.

 

[TurboRex90]

New oil pan and return line are installed, no leaks except a pin hole in the actual return line itself. Major improvement over a qt a week due to the AN fitting being broken before.

ill throw up pics in the morning

Nothing special, but it looks alot better.

FML. Everytime it rains, i get massie water build up under my carpet that soaks through. Its been raining for two straight days and this is how bad its gotten. i dont have a car cover or garage to park in, and dont have a clue where its coming from.

But thats water soaking through my carpet, padding, rubber, and floor mats. like WTF.

 

[TurboRex90]

Well i pulled off both fenders and fished the Sunroof front drain hoses through the fender walls. Turns out they werent properly routed outside and thats why i was getting so much water in the car.

Pulled the carpet up and vacuumed everything out and im picking up some Mildew remover later to help clear everything out.

Crossing my fingers, lets hope it works.

 

[TurboRex90]

Car sat through alittle drizzle with some Mildew/moisture pads. After work, there was no more condensation on the windows abd everything was alot more dry.

Ordering a new Downpipe and dumptube come payday ( this monday), also picking up some minty Si floor mats for 50$ (all 4).

Next payday will be a new o2 sensor, and having my other exhaust put back on and attempting to pass emissions yet again. (im on my 3rd extension.. car keeps failing for HIGHHHH hydrocarbon levels).

 

[TurboRex90]

Just ordered a new 3" downpipe from our friends at Go-AutoWorks.

3" downpipe, Flexpipe, 2 o2 bungs ( o2 and wideband).

Should be seeing it sometime next week, and will have pics up when it arrives.

 

[TurboRex90]

New toys while im waiting for that downpipe.

2 push lock fittings
vacuum manifold
hoses for the manifold and fittings
Adapter

Im running the adapter on my boost gauge so it can accept a 1/4" push lock fitting, as well as getting the manifold set up to run other vacuum lines in the future. Ill post up pics later of it finished.

 

[TurboRex90]

They didnt have black line in stock like usually, so i couldnt make it look stealthy, but its done and works.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

This is coming along to be a really nice build.

 

[TurboRex90]

Thanks! Much Appreciated.

 

[TurboRex90]

T__________T


downpipe delays until they recieve a new shipment of o2 bungs. should "ship" early next week.

Time to call MVA and make up an excuse to get i think my 4th VEIP extension. haha. it was due the 28th. Oh well, thr car can be registered as "historic" in a few weeks.
Not sure if i will do that or not.
