I would love to say yes, but I am still working out what we are doing with the engine. I have a lot to still do, but I am chipping away at it every week, so we will see. I really should have a calendar set up with what I have to do next, and what I have left to do, but I am slack and I am not really thinking more than a couple of weeks ahead.... itsujack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 21October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 21October, 2016 C'mon we all need a deadline to work to!Haha. Trust me I am building it as fast as I can But all joking aside, I just don't know how long some things will take. I have never really used a sewing machine (which I have to get off my ass and go and buy) so I don't know how long it will take to do the interior. I have also never built an engine for that matter, so any timeframes would all be complete guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshstix Posted 21October, 2016 Report Share Posted 21October, 2016 Thanks mate. I kept getting requests for more Mrs Jeff involvement, but she is not exactly one to get on the tools. I hope it adds a bit more fun to the boring build videos Pretty sure a lot of the people calling for more Mrs Jeff are "on the tools" Keep up the great work though.

MFX Posted 28October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 28October, 2016 Well since my car was looking all nice and painted, I decided it was time to cut it up again. This week I get stuck into mounting up the front mounted oil cooler. itsujack, Rob, Peter M and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timm Posted 29October, 2016 Report Share Posted 29October, 2016 Nice work Jeff, the rx7 cooler fits quite well.

OZ930 Posted 3November, 2016 Report Share Posted 3November, 2016 So if the spare wheel is part of the impact protection, then the cross bracing that you have fitted would effectively negate that impact zone….and how are going to get the spare in and out of there ??

I made it so it is reasonably easy to remove. The bigger issue, is if I get a flat on one of the rears, is where am I going to put the flat??? With the roll cage, it can't go in the back, I just hope it fits under the bonnet..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 3November, 2016 Report Share Posted 3November, 2016 Re the flat, get a small compressor that either plugs into the cigi lighter or connects to the battery. Get some tyre goo, put them in a bag in the frunk and you're sorted. That way you do not need to remove a wheel if you get a flat unless the tyre destroys it's self. I've got this set up in the SC. Or buy a kit. I bought one for my wife's Kia as the spare is located under the middle of the car and there is no way she is laying on the ground on the side of a wet road with 3 screaming kids in the car to change a tyre. Whack in the goo and keep moving until you're at a workshop.Easy. MFX, SimonN and Timm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
