My rx7 daily

[Tjp8]

Rear Wiper arm/ motor deleted now just need to get rid of the washer jet at the top which i forgot about , also drove her for 20 miles before the mot which it passed no advisories . Well happy with this car, cant wait to get it ran in and mapped

Well today started off well, picked up a new upgraded starter motor from @rotors7 (nice to meet you)

While i was there the car spewed out some coolant and oil which isnt good and on the way home the car overheated and dropped oil and coolant too which really isnt good seeing as ive not had the car back long and has only done 250 miles since its been built and fitted.

Hopefully tim will sort this out under warrantee as its not been 100% since its return.

Such a shame cos it drove so well but its not supposed to be leaking fluids after a fresh rebuild and mostly new engine !

Cars back in salisbury now, hopefully he wont rush it and he get it back to me sorted.

Hopefully just some loose fittings mate? Have a check over when you can and go from there!

Looks like its the sump leaking , and the coolant coming out the rear of the engine where the pipes connect to the heater matrix again.

Hopefully this engine isnt cooked .

Bad times, just hope hes guna resolve it as these issues weren't there before the build and i paid for it to be built and fitted as i didnt wanna go through these problems doing it myself.

Such a pain in the butt this car is .

I found a number of the issues with my car which had a rebuild done by its previous owner by Tim, one being loose sump bolts causing an oil leak.

I just hope the engine is ok , only done 250 miles odd and hes the only one whos worked on the car.

So annoyed as i hate spending money at the best of times and this just seems like a waste now

 

[Efini_Dave]

Hopefully no matter what the issue is Tim does everything he should to give you what you paid for and in good time!

After sorting out the issues I've found i won't be handing him my car. He was also highly unhelpful when I called him asking for some basic information about my car and rebuild done by the previous owner to me ( I've only been an FD owner for a few months)

Fingers crossed for you buddy.

Had the car back a few weeks now and done 600+miles so took it back to rx motors and had the oil changed and a couple of little bits looked at.

Tim and ian sorted the few issues i had out before and now all seems well with the car.

Going to drive the car a few more miles then book it in for a remap.

I also need some new airfilter to tidy the engine bay up as the ones on there are no good really and just put on there temporarily.

Thanks for looking

Not much to report except been daily driving and just enjoying the car, heres a pic of her parked up down cheddar when taking my neighbour out for the day.

Got a new fuel pump to fit and a few other things then il be ready for mapping in the newyear.

Done just under 2k miles on the rebuilt engine and so far no issues since ive had it back.

Radiator fan motors seizes ovwr x mas so imported some rx8 r3 motors and also bought an rx8 fan pack , fitted it all up in the rx7 housing, cut and extented the wiring too. Works perfect and a seems quieter.

Also fitted some hks rs intakes , looks soooo much better
