I've been following it since shortly after you put it up, and it is greatly improved. It's an outstanding site with lots of useful info, thanks for the effort.

Hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the technical section some day.

Wow, I don't know what to say. Thanks! I do it to return the knowledge that others have given me. We are always open to ideas so if you see something you want us to write-up, let me know!

The new lighting page is working. It is towards the top of the menu on the main page. Let me know if yu still can't view it. Also try to refresh your page to make sure you have the latest page in your cache.

Contribute? Dave, I'm starting a comlpete overhaul this winter, and I could photograph my progress if you want. I'm not sure what kind of write-ups you want, but I will be rebuilding the transmission, rebuilding the engine, custom turbo upgrade, front mount, haltech installation, etc. This will take a long time for me to complete obviously. I'd like to think I could get it done within the next 5 months, but it will probably take me more like 8-14 months. Either way let me know if you want me to document my progress. I'm sure the Haltech installation would be pretty useful, I'm not sure if you have that already.

One of these days I'm going do a TPS adjustment write up. I'm going to include things like how various linkages and systems affect the idle quality and TPS reading.

I've been planning on doing this for a while now, since it seems like there are so many folks with n/a RX-7's that have idle problems. I was going to put it up on some random "free" server like Geoshitties or something, but if you would like to include it in your write-ups you're welcome to it.

Definately, that would be great! And relvinnian, it would also be sweet to have some of those in the list of How-To's and in fact, some of those I plan on doing. I am starting a tranny rebuild in a few weekends, and my Haltech install will be this winter as well.

Thanks for all the support! I am pretty proud personally. I even have the page in this months SCC where the site is listed, and it is framed. lol That was from my cupholder though

I was there quite a few times when I was really heavy into modding the second. Then I bought the third too, and have the second to drive where I want to. Anyway, I loved the site, there is great info, and how to's on there. Keep up the good work

Yeah, Dave keep up the good work. There are so many good RX-7s sites, that I don't even bother making one myself.

Dave,

If my FD alternator on an FC writeup is of any use, you are welcome to it. www.geocities.com/rx7_ragtop and go to the "my car and mods" link, then select it. There is some other stuff there, but that is the most useful thing.

great site

I frequent the site myself. I've download many of his how to and pics to my laptop for easy access while in the garage, at the track, or meetings. People are always wondering what our motor look like inside, how they work, etc. and Dave's site is full of usefull information. Looking forward to the rest of the series four rebuild.

Great work!

Hell yeah I'll take it! When I get my DSL back running I will copy and upload it to my server. Thanks Brad!
