mmm, that open LIM is practically drooling, saying "feed me dropped bolts!"

Looking very good so far!

How did you know it says that?  It won't shut up! It craves 6mm nuts and bolts.

In all seriousness,  thanks again for the clarification on the MS. 

As for an update, I wired up the main electrical stuff last night, battery, starter, alternator and engine fuse box.  I relocated the battery to the passenger side bin area and relocated the engine fuses to the glove box area.
At the end of the night I was able to run a wire to the starter solenoid and manually crank the engine.
Hopefully I can finish the chassis wiring this coming weekend and crank it with the key!

Sounds like you got a hell of a lot more done yesterday than I did. All I managed to do was break the condenser on the slave cylinder, break some exhaust bolts, somehow lose my oil feed line bolt and start to strip one of the starter bolt holes.

You may want to take a page from AWFC3S's recent experience & plug or tape those open LIM runners ;)

Anyhow, good progress!

I didn't finish the chassis wiring modifications last weekend but did get pretty close.  Hopefully I will have the wiring back in the car soon, with the engine cranking with a key and the windows going up and down and all the light working ect...

I will post progress and some pics next week.

I think I was a little hopeful, I still haven't completed the wiring.  I did get the garage clean though.

It's been a while since I have posted  any updates on this. In the past few months I have finished the exhaust, done a ton of wiring and completed some final engine details.  Two weeks ago Andrew and I installed a new brake booster, brake master cylinder, calipers and brake pads. This last weekend I finished welding in the cage and we gave it a quick coat of paint.  Also Rich, Andrew and I started working on fitting my racing seats.  Andrew managed to burn the shit out of his finger while scraping that black crap off the floor after I heated it up.  I'll post some pics up soon of the progress.  In the meanwhile maybe Andrew can post a pic of the new anus he has on his thumb.

Ask, and you shall receive...

Here was the damage 2 days after... I'm sure you could imagine what it looked like when it happened.

Enjoy  ;)



That black tar was so hot that it had adhered right to my skin, and when I went to pull it off it pulled of a huge chunk of skin. It didn't bleed, but hurt like hell. I was in shock when i pulled it off and saw my skin going with it.

Well after a torch is used on it, i would assume that stuff was hot and not to touch.  You had to take it one step further and show what not to do!!  I hope it heals well.

Damn! Nice thumbhole!
I can't wait to hear that 3 rotor. Hit me up after Oct. 8th. I can lend a hand. Maybe I will have bought myself a winter rx7 by then.
