    Hey Steve! That sounds awesome! If you know where Panacea/Ochlockonnee Bay is, that's where I live. So I'm always buzzing around Wakulla for the most part in my little N/A FC, but I agree. It'd be great to meet up with more rotor heads around here. 850-728-1753

    I am. Sorry I haven't had much time to take a look at my things on here. I have been really busy with my car. Always looking for parts, more rotorheads in this desolate area.

    Most idle settings begin with 1/2 turn back from fully closed. Adjust from there.

    Hi Steve,

    for the air bleed adjustment, go all the way closed (clockwise) then back it off (open it) half a turn. You made need to go a little more, each car is a bit different.

    With a properly working ISC valve you should be good to go, if setting the idle manually you'll need to adjust it from the front of the TB with an 8mm wrench and a flatblade screwdriver, then check your TPS voltages to make sure you're in spec after doing all this. PM me for more info

    You know I was stationed about 30 minutes from Arlington but i couldnt ever get myself up there to visit the cemetary. Something I want to do, but I dont know. Just couldnt go up there. You graduated from leon in 90? God dang..... lol I graduated from Thomas County central High, in thomasville ga in 2006 so that makes you.... 16 years older lol.... So you got a 93? I just bough my first rx7 last november. A friend of mine in the navy (also from Fl, Ft lauderdale but spent time in tally at FSU) he got me into the rx7 his is a beast.... But yah man hit me up Its always good to meet people from back home with 7's. Its funny because growing up i dont remember ever seeing one, even now i go months without seeing one other than mine....

    Holy crap. I've been here since '87...graduated from Leon High in '90. Have a degree in aerospace engineering from Embry Riddle, although I left that field in '05 when I worked for Piper Aircraft. Back in Tally now. Now do grant work for low income families and one of my clients is Jefferson County. I was over in Monticello today as a matter of fact. Damn, it's a small world. Have family in Arlington and Vienna not too far from you.
