Going back through my old photos it looks like the next thing that was done was the brake master cylinder setup. Again, something very simple that I had to make complicated. From the get go I had planned to delete abs. Main reason is just room in the engine bay, while I’m not shaving this bay or...

So I’m back again, haven’t forgotten about this thread, not giving up on the car lol. Things are taking a little longer then I would like it to, but I guess that’s the nature of the beast. I’m pretty busy and don’t get a ton of time to work on the car, but I have been making some good progress...

Lol I wish I had more time to work and less time to think! Thinking always gets me in trouble and leads me down the path of most resistance.

Been a while since I’ve been on here, got more progress done, just been too lazy to make a post. Trying to decide how much detail I want to put into this stuff. I took lots of photos of this step so I’m going to try a slightly more in depth post about building something, and see how it goes...

It’s clutch master time! I was planning on posting this along with my brake pedal setup and throttle pedal, but the throttle pedal is proving to be a massive pain, and I haven’t gotten it sorted yet. Going to just focus on the clutch pedal stuff for this post. I’ve been reading stuff with...

Well I’ve been slacking on the updates yet again, just seems I get too busy with other things to remember to post my progress. I’m going to try and prioritize posting a little more often, but no promises haha. I’ve been picking away in my free time and starting to get the car back together. Also...

Just found your thread now, and I don’t think I’ve seen a Canadian speed6 this nice. Looks like a super clean car and will be following along to see your progress!

I definitely could make a post about diy powdercoating and how I learned, it’s a great way to get stuff done in a fraction of the time that it would take sending it out. Oven wise I haven’t quite figured out, just last night my control board just exploded so once I get a new controller in there...

I guess it’s time for a small update on progress. Unfortunately nothing too exciting has happened, but I am getting some of the smaller and less fun parts back together. I left the car to sit for about 3 weeks as it’s cold here and I wanted to make sure the paint wasn’t too soft when I started...

Thank you! I worry all the time when I’m looking at the mountain of parts in my basement that need to be installed lol. I took a ton of pictures and videos of every step so that I can hopefully get it back together. I have a set of wheel dollies that my rx7 sits on most of the time that I stole...

Well I have been picking away at the car, haven’t updated this in too long, life’s been a bit hectic lol. I will be making a proper post soon with a real update, but it’s mostly been smaller stuff, and working on other things that’s been needing to get done for too long. My new powdercoat oven...

Thanks! I’m pretty happy with it, definitely need to see some more parts on it to get the whole picture haha. That’s good to know, I did not know that. It is just a topcoat, the epoxy paint under it is the majority of the protection, but I will look into painting maybe some sort of tremclad or...

Now that the car is fully stripped down I had to make a decision on what I wanted to do with the underside. It’s not near as rusty as I thought it was going to be after being driven in Ontario winters since it was new, and having never been oil sprayed or undercoated in any way. There were just...

I will for sure be installing all new poly bushings, I have a few already and have to buy some more for the rear end also. The colour is actually a Toyota colour that I chose, but not blue haha. People are going to be pretty split on it I think.

I don’t have any very good pictures of the subframe stuff, it’s all stripped down now so not much of a help. The sway bar brackets bolt on using the same long bolts as the lower control arm rear mounting point, so if you pull those bolts out your sway bar will be free as well. I have a picture...

It’s going a very different colour than factory. My next update will reveal the colour I think.

Right now I live right near Windsor, but I used to live just to the west of London. We for sure don’t see the kind of snow you see in Sudbury, but man do they like to salt our roads like we do haha.

Canadian winters are no joke lol. Seriously though I don’t know what over comes me. Simple builds snowball so fast to where I just want to mess with everything.

I guess the next job was to get the car in the air and start pulling stuff off of it. At this time in the build I did not have big plans, just a basic motor refresh, maybe swap out to a different turbo on stock block and paint the engine bay since it was starting to look a little crusty. Things...

Will do for for sure, I made sure I’m a bit ahead on work before starting to hopefully keep up somewhat regular updates. Just need to find the time tomorrow to sit down and type up another update. That’s kinda my life right there haha, I just jump straight in and hope for the best. Sometimes it...
