See rex. Watch rex run. REX CAN RUN!!!!!

I have been working on my car since JULY...(weekends only...)

It finally runs. I am so friggin happy.

It smoked a lot.

It had a small lope in the idle.

Tomorrow I will get everything set straight.

Damn I have so many plans for this car.

Anyways, nother T2 soon to be on the street!

 

best thing ive heard all day

 

congratulations!

 

Gotta love that feeling of relief

Ive been working on mine for a year. It started off as POS and now is the greatest RX7 to ever drop oil on a city street.

 

*sniff sniff* I feel like I gave birth to a frigin CHILD for cryin out loud!

one problem:

I have often heard that alternator - air pump = need ofr double pully or a special belt. I just picked a belt that was shorter than the original... should I see any problems with this?

 

you'll be fine with just the one belt....unless you are going to be driving the car for long periods of time above 4-5K rpms (like track racing)

glad to hear it runs

 

oh really.. cause it seems i am having charging problems with the one i just picked up.. it doesnt have problems while running.. but I dont think the alt is charging the alt..
and the pump has been taken off..

 

check the voltage directly from the alternator to eliminate other possibilites.

 

I have another battery that i know is good.. so its goign to get dropped in there then we will see from there.

 

any suggestions for breat in mileage? I have heard anywhere from 500 to 1000 mi. what do you guys think?

anyoone looking to get rid of their aem exhaust system?
