My Build Thread LS1/FD Its Fast!

Nothing new on the FD but my M5 is pertty damn low. :slight_smile: Thanks to Swerve again as always for helping me out with a tire issue and doing my brakes!!! Yesterday I showed up at swerve to have Paul fix a tire and pick up parts…Well since they are such swell fellas over there they did my rear brakes for me while I went to lunch. That is how sick of working on cars I am haha. Anyhow for some reason im sitting here with Craig(half-breed) and we decide to install my coilovers. So yesterday the M5 got coilovers, new rear rotors+pads, summer wheels back on and I replaced a radio part I believe was acting up(FSU). Thanks Ian and Jay as always as well. Sorry for the lack there of pics. :frowning:

LOL that fggty BMW was a PITA.

LETS FINISH THE RX7!!!

“So I’m thinking about heaters, cause it’s what I do… and I’m looking at this pile of fireworks…and it hits me. I NEED pics of me doing a GNARLY HEATER with fireworks going off in the background!!!” - Drew

LOLLLLLLLLL Oh we need to hahahaha

Any more updates?

get the burnouts installed?

I didn’t take any more pics but I have the rear suspension now 100% back together after I changed the pillowballs(thanks pat <3) and decided to go with new rotors and pads. Then I filled the diff as well and now the rear has wheels on it!!!

I was about to get started putting the interior back in but instead I removed sound deading for 3 hours haha. This shit is endless but it is close to finished. Craig(half-breed) is coming over and I think we will have the exhaust and intake finished today.

This Friday I plan to work on the car for 12hrs minimally and want to have the new oil pan in, new poly motor mounts in, exhaust installed 100%, Subframe and front suspension back in, new rotors and pads in front and then drop the car so I can tq the crank bolt. I hope to have all of this done by Sunday

If anyone at all is willing to help on the interior while I do all of said mechanical stuff you would be of great help as 1. I hate interior shit and 2. I want to get this thing wrapped up so I can pass my classes hahaha.

Ok so here are some pics.

Last week I was not too in the mood to work on the rx7 so I worked on the M5. I installed a set of coilovers and put my summer wheels back on. I am waiting for a new rear control arm and swaybar bushings then the car is going about 1/2" lower minimally.
