Not sure what can be done about this, but since re-speed switched hands, it looks like payment is being processed in ontario, which causes a "foreign" transaction fee on my credit card.

Hmm, never heard of this. All transaction stay in US currency with all you guys, as everything goes to Paypal and not our bank account. I buy things from the states all the time through my credit card and all I ever see is a conversion rate. I think its just your bank trying to get a bit more money to be honest.

Who's your bank and what kind of card do you have?

Brigdh 04-28-11 11:13 PM

Associated Bank
Select Rewards Platinum Visa backed by Elan Financial Services

And what's your full 16 digit credit card number?

Don't forget to ask for the 3 digits on the back with the expiry :p:

On a more serious note, ya I'm not sure, never heard of that bank. But like I said I never heard of anything like that before. Was it a flat rate charge or percentage of sale?


As Canadians, we only have one major bank, "The Great Igloo Bank of Canada". Not sure if you guys know this or not, but 1$CA is actually 1oz of ice. Were glad that its usually snowing here, as the warmer days suck because our economy goes way down and takes it quite some time to remake that money back.

Looks like a percentage of sales

I got set of GC coil over with 7" springs. LMK if your springs will fit the upper and lower GC perches. I was running the GC on my RX-3 upgraded to FB fronts (tokico blues) but it too low with 7". Also, whats the max spring height (9" or 10'?) that I can use on a FB strut? I'm asking as I'm ready to use them again and have been thinking of ordering taller sprngs from GC but I would rather give you the business.

Hey Wacky,

What's the inside diameter of the springs you have?

dj55b 05-02-11 12:29 AM

Not sure what the question is here?

dj55b 05-02-11 12:43 AM

As for the rear coil overs, the only thing that I can possibly offer, is selling just the sleeve and nut plated to the people that already have them. I'm due to make a few more runs of them soon. If that is something you guys are interested in, let me know.

I'm not sure how nicely they will sand blast and plate. I can try them out on mine as I have the same ones as yours. Thinking like a true Canadian and worrying about rust, when installing mine, I coated the whole outside with copper anti seize, and for extra precaution I sprayed some "Fluid Film" spray on there. They have held up through the winter just fine daily driving it :)

Shit. I just got word from my brother who went down to check on my car due to all the flooding and tornados in TN. Well he checked the gas tank since it was a worry for me and the top parts where the lines are is rusted bad. there are dime sized holes in it :( no wonder the car stunk so bad, i assumed it was just running super rich, lol.

So let me know as soon as you are done with those SA tanks bro, I dont want to pay $1700 for a new FB tank from mazdatrix.

D'oh!

Excuse me for being a forum n00b at times (ignore the post count please ;)).

I was wondering if you'd make the turbo manifold spacer/intake manifold modification available for purchase. I nearly called Rene at Rotary Works and like this option for simplicity so I rather give you all a shot.

:asian:

Ah, Gotcha! Were you the one that called in last week asking about this too?

10-4. Been hard to get back to people, I run 2 small businesses and it makes me one busy camper for phone calls. Plus my cell doesn't work in my office.

Speaking of which, shop at Pets Plus in Bemidji, MN :).

Yeah I thought they where pretty neat and simple. I was hoping to see what options there where other then Rene. I don't mind Rene at all, just wanted to see what the competition has to offer.

Thanks for offering parts to the first gen!

Jager 05-05-11 02:55 PM

Talked to Sam today and I'm nothing short of jacked after this phone call! :D!

1979 rx7 fan 05-24-11 06:52 PM

i was wondering how much the sa tank would cost

dj55b 05-26-11 12:48 AM

Still don't have any prices yet on them, as soon as the duration one gets done, that will give us a better idea of things.

Jeezus 05-26-11 12:49 PM

Any chance you can modify the tank so we can run dual tips out the back instead of twin tips?

bwaits 05-28-11 08:56 AM

Where you been Stu?
