Webiste for jdmbuyer isn't working. Something happen or old address link?
Your theory of it not getting wet but drying out while crossing the Pacific is false. I used to import merchandise by the container load from China. All containers, with a few exceptions, are vented. As they cross the Pacific, the humidity is super high, and the container bakes in the sun super heating the air, making it able to hold even more moisture. So the water that was in your car is very possibly condensed Pacific ocean water.
Also, switches are not sensors arsehole
My god you are an obnoxious shite. Electrical are never an issue, they can be found very quick. You make this build sound difficult, ticking easy dude, you make yourself look like an ass.
It's on a island. Salt water will wreck a car quick!
Can't you afford a decent multimeter?
Where do u buy your parts
But did it get peed on by Godzilla?
that fire could have been so much worse!
Get a new carpet
Jist take all the carpet out an leave it metal! Weight reduction bro!
Yes!! #BisforBrap
Hey the UK Top Gear team have been to Japan and bought an RX7 and a skyline. drove them about. Upto the exclusion area at Fukishima
That dust causes damage to elec components.
Well done
Get a 3 rotor engine
You should consider investing in a power probe.
Great channel here … wondering if Velocity is barking up your tree yet
Pull the carpet and throw it over a fence. Then break out the pressure washer! 🙂
Hey Chris I work with mold and all that good stuff I will suggest to remove the carpet and clean it outside
The brake pedal has a switch and when it goes bad or there's no contact to it the light stay on for the brakes might want to check that switch
you should get a radiation meter
Wiring scares me 😂 this video was half amazing (as usual) half anxiety
Chris, you should contact tommyfyeah he has lots of rx7 part and knowledge i think he'd be a valuable resource for you!
The powder in most fire extinguishers is very corrosive so I’d keep an eye out for that
Pull the interior and do it rite man
Chris!!!! Buy a new carpet. Not to mention you have to clean the floor. Check for corrosion, don't want to find a hole later on….
id like to see A NICE ANDROID sterio
Using a radiant type heater (halogen or infrared) will dry the car faster with less energy. Rather than heating the air, which then has to heat the surface a radiant heater will heat the surface directly, like sunlight. Using both would be the ideal as you'd have a supply of warm dry air moving across a warm surface. Perfect for evaporation.
tail lights on cause of parker switch ? normally on top of steering Colum
Remember, fire-extinguisher dust = deadly for wiringharness!! It will eat it's way thru the isolation and that results in shortage, causing all kind of weird things happening in your FD.
Using a powder extinguisher > clean / hose down wires asap, if not… replace/repair harness is the only option sadly tho 🙁
Rx7 Time-Attack build please 🙄🙄🙄
Tommyfyeah is selling a heap of fd parts if you get stuck for parts
Hire a carpet cleaner guy which will use hot water.
You Forgot.. Did Godzilla chew my car??
Talk with tommyfyeah, might be able to help source some stuff for the car
short shift it!!
Those damn plastic connections on BMW coolanthoses are a mayor pita. The plastic used for the whole coolantsystem on newer bmw (newer meaning e46 and up) tend to get quite brittle and leaky after 5-6 years due to all the heatcycles this stuff goes through, which usually means replacing all of them (usually including the whole radiator and overflowtank). It's one of the things I really hate about them, I recently replaced the whole coolingsystem on an e46 of a close friend due to the car starting to leak coolant all over the place and getting to the hoses and parts on the rear of the engine is really not fun at all.
Typical JDM car with tons of useless crap wired in at random: turbo-timers, toll pay responders, pointless gauges, and lights… my 97 STI was rats nest
ls swap itt
you Need a power probe
It could be a remote start instead of a car alarm
You should really do some reupholstering and interior improvements with this build. Might not have time in your two week goal, but def come back and make it look sharp
The radiation detectors at the docks would have been sent off and the car would have been imponded and probably destroyed.
contact @tommyfyeah for fd parts!!!!!!!!!
Strip the carpet for a good clean, and might as well clean the underneath
parking brake……brake lights………..
