Re: My 1974 REPU Project

That's why you need to save up in the times you're not doing any upgrades so you're ready to buy the REPU parts when they become available. Or something nice for the wife (only in case she's reading this) lol. I like the ignition switch relocation. That's pretty cool! Thanks dude, thought it turned...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

As frustrating as it is trying to find parts like that, it kinda makes it even better when you do find them lol. Like you're 20 times happier because it was such a challenge. And it's wild what super rare parts you'll find sometimes. I saw someone with practically brand new RX-2 tails not long ago,...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Congrats on the new kid! aka extra set of hands in the shop. lol That's awesome the truck is getting close to driveable (with the fuel tank). Now we can go on fun drives again. I'm really surprised they still have parts for the REPU, especially with as rare as it is. But that's awesome that they do...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

I was going to upload some photos of the finished fuel tank but photobucket it down right now. Anyways, I finished the fuel tank a couple days ago. I got more POR15 fuel tank sealant and coated the ENTIRE interior of the tank nicely with new sealant. I snapped a few pics and I think it came out pret...

Re: Build thread

Stupid question but have you considered just deleting the OMP altogether and going straight premix in the gas? I know you're using the Sohn adapter but I've always been a fan of simplifying things and it's harder to get much simpler than premix. You know it won't fail and you're in complete control ...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Like you guessed, there are no mass produced exhaust systems for the REPU that I've found, it's just too small of a market. So I have to go custom. There are a few 13B headers/manifolds that bolt up, but after, everything needs to be fabricated. For this reason, I'm planning a short system that will...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Have you tried running seafoam through the motor? Just pour some down the carb while holding the throttle up so it doesn't stall. My opinion is still out on Seafoam is still out. I used it on my RX8 when the compression was low on one face (stuck side seal) and after using it compression dropped ac...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

SWEET!!! Great to hear that it's running. I will say, I'm already seeing too much care and thoughtful planning going into this project for it to be a rat rod. LOL I like the direct and clean fuel line routing from the FPR to the carb. Now if you could just get that fuel tank cleaned out you'd be in...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

I'd recommend just having the tank dipped at this point. Have you tried cleaning up the inner fenders and firewall? I bet you can get those looked really good. Yeah, I agree. I'm goimg to try to find somewhere to hot tank it Monday. Last night I drilled and tapped the IDA manifold for vacuum refere...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Well, I'm beginning to think nothing I can do at home will get this fuel tank clean. I've tried every trick and just more and more rust comes out. At this point it would be more cost effective to get someone to hot tank it. I emptied another gallon of Super Clean in it and added about 2 gallons of w...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Let me know what you think of the POR15 kit, I've heard mixed reviews. Will do. I'd say I've heard mostly good things. I imagine people who've had issues didn't do good enough prep work removing loose rust scale and varnish, so the sealer WILL peel up, just like paint would, if it's attached to loo...

Re: My New Toy

Just caught up your build, Chris, doing a great job! Crazy how much the 1st gen market has increased in price recently, a good SA or FB is worth some coin now. I've always wanted one.
