Every shift at 7 rpm's it backfires
Just recently I installed some NGK spark plugs and wires, bout a 100 dollar ticket. There definetly decent, but what i noticed was after I installed them, whenever i shifted around 6 or 7 rpm's I would backfire. Im kinda stoked it does it and in a way im not cause it does make me feel like my cars a beater.
Spark plugs and wires are for sure installed correctly along with the wires, I have checked into it.
Also my beeper for when you shift at high rev's doesnt go off, whats wrong here?

hahaha, yep.... not just non turbo rx7's do that my cousin has a turbo that backfires..........i'd like to say all rx7's do that but its not true, anyway yes rotaries sorta suck at burning fuel stock so its going to backfire if you just leave it like that, as for the redline buzzer i have no idea, and like he said, try to stay outa the 6-8k range unless its absolutely necessary.........u know necessary to have fun and stuff

my car started backfiring after i went from stock to cat-replacement,presilencer, corksport catback, I shouldn't really worry should I? It just doesn't make backfire noise it actually makes flames. I saw it one night when my rearview mirror turned bright orange-yellow on a dark onramp

Your redline buzzer doesn't go off? Are you sure its your redine buzzer and not your oil buzzer? Any lights on your warning cluster come on?
Sounds like you have more going on than backfiring. Time for a tune-up?

sorry to jack the thread. but speaking of cops. one day when i had my 7(it was a buddys at the time) i was at our local cruise spot ran through 1st till right before the rev limiter(7800) and snagged 2nd. in addition to kickin sideways it popped a huge flame, right in front of a cop. the funny part is he pulled me over to tell me how cool it looked. he then said he had been looking for a decent 7 for years. haha it was great

When I first bought the car, the owner said the Coolant light stays on 24/7. He's right because coolant is definetly topped. Other than that no other lights are on.

Will N/A's do this without a catalytic converter as well?
Also, is it illegal (as in a cop can/will pull you over) to have flames launching out your exhaust (officially) ?

Remove the bleeder screw from the radiator where the upper radiator hose is connected to and top off the coolant until it comes out of the hole, then reinstall the screw and fill up to the top of the filler neck.
I imagine if you had a standalone that was fast enough and was programmed right it could help, but it's too cool to try and get rid of. I saw some guy with a 3000GT making his exhaust do that once when i had no exhaust on my RX-7, shot a huge flame out of underneath my car and let out a huge boom, he stopped after I did that. I think I pretty much neutered him by doing it.
I've heard it also has to do with overlap.

Somehow I always get the mean cops. A month ago I was pulled at 11:30 at night by a very bored cop -- I was doing 47 in a 45, and he wrote me a ticket for 66. I swear I only get in trouble when I'm actually driving like a soccor mom; I never get noticed when I've got the car sideways.

my car does the same thing when i had my stock pipes, i removed my cats and installed a bonez downpipe and every time 7k BOOM i used to have huge flames not to mention the shotgun sound the car used to make. Now I installed the racing beat true dual set up and it still back fires at 7grand but now i have smaller blue flames and the sound isnt so loud anymore. Its just an rx7 thing

no na's spit flames too. i have a true duel set up straight pipe with monza mufflers(yeah i know they suck, and i think their burnt out) and my car makes little flames here and there and its not a loud pop or any thing just a loud torch sound like a gas grill when you first start it and i makes that woush sound mines like that but a little louder. im planing on getting a racing beat prescilencer for the duel set up then im going to collect the exhaust after that almost at the rear of the car and put on a nice muffler.
