So I finally Switch from regular oil to Royal Purple.. Im at about 1400 miles on rebuild and running super good and starting up all the time like a champ. I guess it was worth the time I spend on it lol.

Do you have the Sohn adapter with an external reservoir for premixing?

If not, I always thought using synthetic was not the most cost effective alternative, considering the engine would burn it.

Na just stock , and if it burns is ok I feel like it will protect my engine like it did all my rx7 engines. The previous engine on my rx3 was taking apart and it looked good after so many passes and engine sitting for so long too. I'm a synthetic guy, all my Lexus car get it and my Rotary cars.

Been driving my car and loving it now I need some lowering springs and rear struts don't have money to spend in expensive springs or struts I'm confuse ,, hopefully I get it done before I paint my bumper and ding door.

Just read start to finish. Looks great, must be a great feeling to know you built it up right yourself.

Would love to see some videos of it running though...

^ never thought of doing a video .. sounds like a plan . Well once I get car put together buffer out after some paint work . I will for sure make a video . Thanks .

And here is my car getting my front bumper and door fix. Getting almost whole side painted to match it up good. Silver colors are hard to blend.

In this picture you can see how bad it was chipped from rocks . I bought car like this and it always drove me crazy . Once done it will look like new . Getting new water paint and water paint looks so good when done .
