Fixed Leak Carb Time

Finally had a chance to investigate and fix the leak on the 85 RX-7 project. Two places. 1) small ooze at the oil pressure sender. Bigger leak developed at the drain lug. Damned thing crackd and was leaking. Fixed both and we are as dry as a bone.

Now the fun begins. My son will use this car next year as his beginner auto-x car. Don't know if we are staying in stock, going tp SP or STS-2. In case we stay in stock I want to get a good Nikki carb.I know YAW used to modiyf them, but now they concentrate on FI. Who else may still be playing with Nikkis?

PM Sterling and let him know what you're looking for. He's currently the go-to guy for modded Nikkis. Make sure to mention that you want to AutoX with it.
