Added another 7 to the lineup

On Saturday I picked up another 84 RX7 parts car. The sad thing is I think this one is in better shape then my other one lol. Unfortunately no title. But tons of good parts. I plan to swap the doors, fenders, hood, bumper, tail lights, sun roof and interior at the least. Also has an untouched 12A and rear disc (which implies LSD). Pictures will be up tonight when i get home from work

In WA, at least, getting a new title is easy. You just take it to a place and they run the VIN to verify it's not reported as stolen, and they give you a temporary title that turns into a real one if it's not reported stolen within some amount of time.

I'm thinking of picking up a set of Diamond Racing Wheels for the FB in either 14" or 15" but i'm not sure what width to run or what backspacing will give me a flush or near flush setup. Any help would be appreciated. i've done some searching and i'm thinking something in the 7 or 8 inches wide would be good.

here's the website for those interested.

I've noticed that my running RX-7 (the gray one) is running extremely rich. I am very new to carburetors so I'm needing some help.

Its a Mikuni side draft carb I'm not sure what model or size. How do I adjust it to lean it out?
