Not as impressive, but clean at least :)

Here is the engine in my 626. Stock but it has pretty blue NGK wires. ;) Anyway, I used the degreaser at the local coin-op, rinsed it down and then let the engine run about 20 minutes while I wiped down all the painted surfaces, valve covers, etc.

This is the engine in my old Accord. I used Orange Blast Degreaser to clean it, rinsed then wiped down. I had painted the valve cover about 4-5 years before I took this picture. Used several coats of paint, then baked it for an hour at 250 degrees. I waited a week then sanded down the paint over the lettering to make them stand out.

usanepyro - wow, that looks like its fresh off the showroom floor.

Thank you for the positive feedback :D



prez217: It was a full restoration project, since I took the entire car apart I used coatings on the engine, engine accessories, basically everything that`s in the engine bay that would make it easy to detail.



I used a combination of powder paint and ceramic coat on everything in the bay, so a simple degreaser solution, an engine bay mitt, and a toothbrush will pretty much handle all the cleaning needs, then some Mothers polish and a little dressing finish it off nicely.



GSRstilez:

Naturally Aspirated 13B rotary engine

Streetported with every conceiveable oil, cooling, and performance mod available

HKS intake w/ custom tube fabbed from an aftermarket `97 Integra intake (nobody makes one for a second generation RX-7)

Ceramic coated; intake manifold, rotor housings, pulley`s, alternator case, brake calipers, dust shields

Full Racing Beat dual exhaust; header, presilencer, etc.



I could literally fill an entire page so i`ll cut it short but I didn`t cut any corners at all on this project, it was a genuine labor of love. By no means is it a race car, just something to put the top down on and cruise out to the coast.



Here`s a shot of the car outside my home

I really like those model RX-7`s. the car is in very nice shape, i could see you maintain it. there are only a few afforable cars that i really like, i currently own a 94 integra, but i like RX-7`s, nice body shape, nice color, very comforable, fast, (in your case)very fast. i heard that some had electrical problems, is this true?
