i am no mechanic

i can take stuff off and put stuff on most of the time, i know how a rotary works basically. the whole reason i joined this now is i am going knowwhere with my car and have ideas just floating around. i have let the car sit for 6 years and finally went into the garage and it started right up. the engine is rebuilt, not by me. new alt, bat, clutch stock, the car is fun and i have already taken all the under carpet crap. i want the engine bay to look clean and i was just wanting to keep my ps, because i dont feel like messing up when depowering my ps. i would do it cause i dont like ps, but have no exp doing it. it would help if someone took a stock pic of there engine bay and # everypart that has nothing to do with running the car. so i can remove it without a worry. also your any advice you are willing to give.

i am a rx7 lover, will never sell mine not for a million dollars, well maybe so i can get a lot more 7s. but just want to make it even better than what it is.

just be patient with me and if any one is in indy give me a pm or something.

Well welcome. First thing to remember hever let your rotary sit a long time as it could make the seals stick, so start it every month if you can and let it run to operating temp. Never start you rotary and shut it off a few seconds later and that is a good way to vapor lock it or flood it. Other then that read the FAQ thread and enjoy.

You can't capitalize all of them. The forum automatically uppercases the first letter and lowercases everything else.

Try it!

I dont see whats so hard to understand, try typing a whole post in all caps.

It doesnt work if you only type one WORD in all caps, you have to type at least the FIRST WORD in the post in all caps.

If the first word in the post is lowercase, you can type the whole rest of the thing in all caps.

I havent really experimented with it a lot, so I dont know the limits :p

No, no, no.. Because the original post was just one word, it didn't change it. try hitting the Caps Lock key, (to type in all capitals) and then post. The forum will convert it so that only the first letter of each word is capitolized.
For example:
"THIS IS A TEST" would be "This Is A Test" if that were the only thing that was written in the post.

If there is even one word in the post that is not completely capitalized, then it does not apply.
