Robbie's K20 RZ

[Robbie98]

Thought I would start documenting my build, so here it goes

Picked up a 1992 RZ 11/08/23 Not the best deal on my end but you live and you learn.

Looks identical to my own, look forward to seeing updates

 

[Robbie98]

Already fully stripped the boot interior + engine bay ready for some fab work very soon. Had to take care of some surface rust lol, still need to finish off.

Not the best deal as you didn't realise it had no motor?

V6 twin turbo come on

V6 twin turbo come on

Always wanted to do a V6 swap on an RX7 as its a different path to the V8 which everyone's does. Just haven't got the budget LOL plus I want to keep the 7 jap theme so K20 is the way forward

 

[Robbie98]

Weight Reduction LOL only joking!!!!!!

 

[Rob82]

Isn't a 92 RZ a pretty rare car?

 

[Robbie98]

Yh I believe so, I've read that there are around 300 units but I could be wrong and might be reading about the Spirit R

Plenty of choices with v6 bud! but completely get it!

Yeah 300 in the first instalment

 

[Rob82]

Only 300, I'd be putting a rotor back in it lol

Is it a 92 rz or 93? the strut bar and wheels are not from a '92, could have been changed though. Can run a VIN check for you if you like. The 93 is a lot more desirable than the 92, gets the decent brakes etc (Although judging by the amount of brick paranoia going on I'd assume the brakes a gone ).

Ahah was thinking about it but cba, I want to carry on the build I set out to do

That's a 93 model year RZ, but was made on 09/09/1992, so one of the first batch in the 93 spec so would have had the larger brakes, 17" wheels it has now, bins, recaros, 4.3 diff and .762 5th gear. So it's better than a '92 RZ, it's a '93 RZ .

In other words you are winning

 

[Robbie98]

Picked up a S2K transmission Friday needed a good clean. Looks good

 

[Robbie98]

Also a set of MeisterR ZetaCRD coilovers as a lot of you guys highly recommended (Thanks).

Only used on a roller, look pretty much brand new after a good clean up. Win win

Are you going to convert the release mechanism?

 

[Robbie98]

Are you going to convert the release mechanism?

Nope, Why? is there a better way.

I still need to order a OEM S2K clutch slave cylinder
