My setup is a hard to find (Weber IDA) therefore pretty pricey as well. What I had suggested was a Holley setup, which is available both new ($800) and used ($250-$500) and offers a better low end response as well.

You can get a new Holley fuel pump and regulator for $100 thru Summit racing

Yeah it was me. I currently use PBR's from Bap Geon with hardly any dust ...except of course on the track at MADS. Curtis suggested VGX's (I have no experience with them.

Did I mention that I said if I ever met a girl like that I'd marry her?

I have the porterfield R4S brakes. They dust terrible, but they are the best thin I have found for a street/track brake pad. I use the brakes hard on the race track and they don't have a hint of fade. Great on the street. The only problem is the constant brake dust. I clean the wheels often. I use the McGuiars spray quick wax on the wheel and I can take an air hose and blow most of the brake dust off 90% of the time. I do have to clean the wheels with wheel cleaner from time to time, but the wax on the rims makes a huge differance.

thats right before i got out of the military i was going to move but i blew my engine and i just couldn't bring myself to sell it so i used my moving money to rebuild my engine and i decided to wait till tax season to use the money from returns to leave. but i'm not blowing this money this time if the rex dies again i'm leaving it and finding a new one when i get there but i hope it doesn't come to that

Well, I'm kind of new to the board, and damn, I never realized there were so many of you guys around here. The only rex's i have seen is a red FB, and a dark blue FD with gray racing stripes. Just to introduce myself, I have an 85 gs thats been in the shop for a good long while now (lotsa body work). I should be getting it out of the shop within the next week. As of right now its stock, but I got kind of impatient about a month ago and ordered tokico blues, eibach springs, poly bushings and a set of sumitomo htr 200's. here's some pictures of the rx-7 right after I got her:




Hopefully I will get the rx-7 back so I can get to work!

Damn... just remembered, Sunday is Mother's day! Which means it's her day to do with me as she wishes (nows the right time to hide the handcuffs and candles)
