2024 Challenge PLB candidate - for your consideration

I will help as much as I can Friday when I get to the hotel.  I would love to see that thing running again.

Thanks guys! We'll take all the help we can get!

As soon as i get home from work ill go through the shed and see if i have them. 

This would be awesome! The current truck manifolds aren't too happy with the frame rails or steering column! (plus no y-pipe or O2 bungs )

Well looky what i found. Complete with some of my least finest welds. 

You should be able to move the vband to the y pipe and use the rest of the exhaust. 

Hot damn!! I'll text you and coordinate a pickup! 😀

Yes!

Yasss!

PCM shipped out to RacetruckRon yesterday. We're making progress!

PCM received, should have it Florida bound by Monday.

Fantastic! Thanks again for your tuning help!!

So do we officially have a parking lot build?

I'm down to help too!

If it helps, I finally registered yesterday! 

Exhaust manifolds are in and the transmission cross member is bolted up.

We need to add a second O2 sensor. Current thinking is to weld a bung in somewhere in or near the blue circle (driver side). The passenger side has one already (red arrow). Any suggestions on a cheap weld in bung?

I have a bunch of them that I can bring.

I'll check my stash tonight.  

I can't wait to wrench on this shi....  rx7.

A critical part showed up today.

I live in High Springs (Gilchrist County actually) and I can mount your tires if you want to bring them out. Stampie knows the way... :)

I will take you up on that! I need to get the tires ordered ASAP.

In reply to dyintorace :

Great!

Happy to help....

In reply to dyintorace :

You can have them sent here if you like. If the wheels are here I can do it all when the tires are delivered.

We made a lot of progress this weekend. We figured out a solution for separating the fuel cell from the passenger compartment (it came to us with the fuel cell mounted in the hatch area!), continued putting the engine back together, braced the radiator, started on door panels, fabricated sway bar brackets and more.

Driveshaft done. First time doing inside clips. I learned that the caps aren't supposed to be flush. Centered them sitting proud .5 mm and clips popped right in.
