Marks RX7 - lets break a rotary.

[Mark Davis]

Engine due back in the next fortnight which is nice.

I ordered a set of new front side lights and indicators from Japan, they are called Car Shop Glow and basically they open up OEM lights and change to some funky LEDs.

I was shocked and amused to see a remote control with the kit, I couldn’t work out why it’s needed but typical of the Japanese to design the lights so they can perform some form of snazzy light show.

 

[Mark Davis]

Still awaiting engine - fuck my life

 

[Mark Davis]

Oh I fitted the snazzy lights.

Apologies for the coolant buzzer noise.

 

[Mark Davis]

The engine is back this week, watch this space. A bit of a change in porting should result in a bit more high end power. (Before it breaks again of course)

 

[Mark Davis]

I know how much you all love staring at a picture of my 13B engine sat in my conservatory either pre or post rebuild, well here’s your chance to see another one. Will fit this weekend depending on weather.

 

[Adey]

good luck

 

[Norwich Nick]

You’ve heard of Schrödinger’s cat, here we have Marks engine, instead of a box it’s a conservatory but the principal remains the same

Good on you for carrying on, will be worth it when it’s done. I do enjoy your threads and glad to see you’re progressing with them both still

 

[andybond]

The void in my head made the brap sounds even though its in your conservatory.

 

[DaveL485]

Here we go again!

 

[Mark Davis]

Let’s be honest without my constant nightmares and exploding engines my threads wouldn’t be interesting at all so I’m glad I’m filling a gap for TR.

My general aim however is to actually spend 2022 driving my cars on a regular basis both on the road and at events - in particular 1/2 mile and mile events. Let’s see if I can actually provide driving content rather than garage, conservatory and driveway content.

We should start a book on it.

definitely tempted by a top speed event, that said the price is high and id want to get a decent amount of runs in and everyone ive seen looks busy as fook, keep me updated if you do one

There is one in March that Stav shared with me, ill dig it out.

 

[Mark Davis]

Big turbo strapped on, using some different less itchy wrap rated to 1200c.

 

[Big Steve - Raider]

Looks great @Mark Davis !

Is it too early to start the bets on how many weeks it will be before that engine’s back on your dining room floor?

It’s never too early to start a book! I’m going with March.

 

[Duncan Grier]

Im going with 24 months of abuse without issue and many many brap brap noises just for @andybond

One of us has to be positve

 

[Mark Davis]

Thanks Duncan ! I’d be happy with 12 months.

A friend of mine with an RX7 made 715hp yesterday, 608 at the wheels. This was with a BWS369SXE at 26psi. Spicy

 

[Deleted member 486]

That's a turbo with an engine attached! It's f*cking massive

 

[Mark Davis]

Woo hoo
