so im putting together an rx7 and the plan is to throw a 6L in it. Any help along the way would be good because I am new to the whole thing. Building it on a budget all go no show. Here is where i am at right now:

engine bay rust proof
Top shell and floors rust proofed from the top only
Fabricating flares for the back

 

alright wrong picture haha, here it is

 

have you been over to norotors.com yet?
lots of good info over there and a guy name pez has a very clean motor mount kits for these cars
im in process of my fc 5.3 swap, hoping that my tax refund will come soon so i can finish this thing up

 

look like you started with a tII model which will save you some time and money
i just pulled of 5lug setup from the the pick a part yesterday since my car was a n/a 4 lug

 

it was actually a gsl to my knowledge. i havent heard of those mounts i was going to go through with grannys.. better quality or price? what are you doing for a rearend?

 

Norotors.com has a lot of info! Mines up and running just tying up some loose ends, if you have questions just ask

 

they use c5 stands and the og rotory mount location for a very clean/easy install
imo 10x better then any other mount kit for these cars and the price is competitive
hit up norotors and there is a pez sponsor section with install thread with lots of info

 

as for mine im modding a c4 dana 36 diff
i got it for about 150$ and going to cost probably another 150 to make it work

 

also if you want a direct swap in i have heard that the tII rears are pretty stout

 

thanks guys already worth my time here! im going to check out those mounts for sure.. almost time to paint the engine bay and interior and then tthe fun can start!
i understand the engine itself.. what id like to know is my options for driveshaft and rearend?
From what ive read and interpreted my best bet would be a c5 shaft?

 

do you know by chance if the gsl's had a t2 rear end?

 

nope just a posi version of the weaker one!

 

ive tried to find info on this and came up empty hadnt! i assume now it wouldnt take the abuse of a lq4?

 

thats what norotors.com is for. we got candy

 

my account on that forum cannot become legit for some reason!allthough candy sweetens the deal ahaha

 

cant put an ad on for the wtb section either..
as suggested though, im looking for c5éc6 pedestals so i can snag a pez mount kit!
anyone know what this is about

anyways though, Im just about to paint the interior and engine bay low gloss black! got it primed today and im stripping my fenders! fenders are made of different materials.. front being flexy and back being stiff as hell! is this aftermarket on one end or can you guys relate to this?

ill post some crappy phone pics tomorrow!

and finally!, anybody know of fc coilovers that are a decent price as oppose to the ones i can find for about 1600ish?

 

megan racing sells pretty good street coilover setups

im in the process of finishing my fc 5.3 build up too

here are my pics http://s345.photobucket.com/albums/p...s1%20fc%20rx7/

 

looks like a pretty decent set.. im being forced to speed up my build and found a set of tein HA's for about 500 dollars..

Looks like your alot further along then me! haha youll be done in no time.. How did you prep your bumper?

 

fyi i have one extra pedestal(i belive the left side)
hit me up if you want it

 

C4 rears are very easy to adapt to anything. I used a dana 44 as the building block to my custom hotrod frame. Then used a f body t56 and aluminum driveshaft. Had to use a conversion u join for the rear tho.
