Alright, Here are some DAY time pics so you can see the car a little bit better.
watched the Atkins Rebuild video Really good to know and to see how it all works...
Decided BLACK is going to be the color!
Im getting some work on the motor done tomorrow. my front cover is cracked and there is a gasket sticking out of it causing a MAD oil leak. That gets fixed tomorrow ! thank god!
S5 LIGHTS on it WAY!!

the AFM is your Air Flow Meter and its the metal boxy looking piece that is connected directly to your air filter. it must be sitting flat. refer to the picture i have enclosed

yeah n/a with headers and intake i have seem them pull 145-155 whp
so check and see whats the problem if not do a quick search on the forum for HOW TO on 5th and 6th port wire open...or better yet just remove the sleeves and cap the lower intake manifold
And guys take it easy on the kid hes off to a good start....read a couple post up where someone corrected him on his afm , and he said he was going to correct that. so he is learning quick.
no pistons your car isnt no where near this kids car condition so i would ramp on his tailights....lol OWNED BROTHER

No, his car is nice. I wish i had his tails actually, cracked reverse lense and all.
If you've ever spent time on honda tech, it's an elite fest and if your car isn't a land speed record junkyard setup or mad tite jdm, it's trash. Really. Even if the car isn't even riced and subtly modified, it's still hated on. I see it on EVERY forum i go on. I figured the rx7 community would be a bit different since rx7's are bad *** cars. Do the supra guys act like this too?
Again, i'm liking his car, not bagging on it. 87 t-66 pointed out his tailights were busted. They're not as bad as he came off.
I wouldn't care if my car was finished with all the bells and whistles, i still wouldn't bag on his car because it's a seven and i dont see him doing anything wrong.

the reverse lens is not cracked, the guy that had them put some kind of clear coat on them so that they would not turn yellow with the sun and failed misserably at doing so. once they are on the car its hardly noticeable. Car looks better mang, keep up the good work and keep us posted
