Great job on re-titling everything Doc. This will really make it stand out for the arichives I believe.

vipernicus42 03-16-07 04:04 PM

re-titling? I hadn't noticed that...

Hey Doc, if you're bored and you want to re-title stuff, how about continuing what I started in the archives and prefixing threads with their corresponding area of the car so that when you alpha sort all the (COOLING) threads are together, all the (ENGINE) threads are together, etc...

Nice thread. So basically it's a 2bbl when this is not attached?

FirebirdSlayer666 03-10-08 12:32 AM

Yep, so slow as dirt. After 4000 rpms it's just revving for nothing

DrOliver8706 03-10-08 02:30 AM

Vashner 03-10-08 06:46 PM

It was unhooked on Rusty. She's running MUCH better now! I could never of got her running like this without this forum. Which is hands down the best Auto forum community on the web. OMG this one thing seemed to of solved problems. It's running like new now.

so, this is just on an fb right? not an s/a?

780rx7 03-11-08 04:38 PM

I checked mine and it's hooked up properly although the nut is at the end of the threads, not like the picture where there is 1/4" of threads showing. DAmn, I was hoping it wasn't hooked up and I could find some extra horsepower.:lol:

Uh-oh.:uhh: The secret's out and my "modding" scam is about to be uncovered...

Dan_s_young 04-14-08 08:47 PM

I remember back in the day when I first had my RX-7 I stumbled across the same thing. Good thread getting the information out there on a common problem. Archive material (if it's not already hidden in there somewhere).

Oh bloody hell!

After a trip to the junkyard:

Only thing is, my throttle cable feels like it has slack now. Where do I go about adjusting that?
