Starts off at work,

It was idiling kind of weird, but like normal I suppose, I go to get on the street and see my girlfriend in her car so I accelerated, was going right past 6800 RPM and then pop it felt like my engine back fired, but not loud at all, it's happened before, you know where it would jsut buck for no reason, I thought it was the belt due to the fact it's been slipping all month...get home tear **** off find a loose engine ground (the main one off the ECU harness so I think BINGO!) but apparently it was too late, or it didn't really matter as the car is back firing like ***, and sounds like it's on one rotor with the poor mans compression test (one spark plug out at a time).

Time to find a piston powered car, I have no money to rebuild this motor as I've already dumped what money I had into the Supercharge r...

 

That really sucks. Not to be mean and jump to personal gain, but i'm sure everyone else will be asking this same question: "Are you parting it out?" if so can I get a drivers side air vent cover that sits on the dash right above the door vent, as well as the ashtray cover, and your S5 tails?

 

I will be parting the performance aftermarket parts, all others will be left on the car as I don't have time to have a junk yard car in my back yard as I have no space...the car's in excellent condition besides this.

Man that really sucks...sorry to hear it. and i would so buy your supercharger if i wasnt broke

 

Damn...another brother has fallen. Sorry to hear this, this must be very depressing for you. I hope one day you will return to another rotary.

 

The Supercharger is only at 1100, that's around 3k off normal retail...the Superchargers fine, no bearing lock up, etc and related to the Supercharger is fine..

 

that sucks. its cheaper to rebuild that engine then buying a car. buying a new car might present more problems and the intial cost of the car would also knock you back.

being a rotard is a bad thing I know, but I think you should rethink what you're doing. you also dumped more into the car then you can get back. the car is worth more to you then anyone else

when my engine popped i used that time to have it rebuilt and ported. now i love it

 

There's not much of a choice I have, I have to get to work and I sure as hell aint walking or taking the bus around here...

I don't have time, I wish I did, or I'd rebuild it...

 

I've seen beaters for $500.00 that work fine, although, hard to find.

 

I might be buying SonicRAT's First Gen, dunno yet, the whole carb'ed idea is kind of sketchy to me...

 

carb is good...

prolly much easier to work on

 

I hope you reconsider...maybe sometime down the road you will regret what you have done.

You've gotten far with your RX7, why stop now?

 

yeah I do agree tho with this... you should rebuild her... find someplace to let her live till she is better.

Or you will regret for a long time...

regret is no good ever

 

Carb is fine if you just drive to work, park, come back 8 hours later and head home. I thought that's the kind of job I would have, but I'll be travelling about 80% of the time, so waiting for the car to warm up/etc becomes a bit of a hassle.

 

Like I told NEO...

Maybe sometime down the road I will rebuild her if I still have the car, but the need to get to work every day is there for now...
