Underhood stuff looks great! I think what we have here is humility at its finest! OK. So you made a little mistake. No big deal. Just correct it & get that car of yours back on the road!
Is that an aftermarket fuel rail that I see in there? Looks like the one I have on my 83 with a Weber IDA throttlebody.

Troux, ill tell you. That is one of the most unique compliments ive gotten. I've hated my voice for years. Get called a "misses" on the phone enough and it bothers you. As ive grown up and taking acting classes has really improved my speaking ability.

So, as long as you mean it in the simplest way, thank you so much. If you are wearing lipstick and tucking your man junk like Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs while saying it, I still appreciate the feedback lol

Thanks for the messages guys. These videos are part of my prep for Discovery Channel. Some of you know that i got approval for a show on one of their channels.

I will continue making fun videos, so if you guys keep subscribing like you are, ill be a popular channel for automotive entertainment. Representing rotary cars :-D

Always enjoyed your videos even though I've gone through most everything you cover (not bragging, just owned the car a LONG time) and think they are great for people who are new to the FD. Keep it up.

BTW, just out of curiosity...what show were you approved for on the Discovery Channel? Type of show?

I just went through this a few weeks ago but luckly i expected to screw up so i mocked the harness connected first and then went on to finalize it.

It seems you accidentally forgot to take out your Power Steering assembly....

I know what you mean, ive seen you on the forums heavily participating back when i first signed up. I enjoy making them and I enjoy an audience :-)

I will formally announce my TV show at DGRR, but here is the link to the teaser website.

www.raceandreplace.com

Each episode, my brothers and i ultimately destroy a car showing you all the weird things that can happen when you try to do basic maintenance. Its mythbusters-esque, but not busting myths on cars. We make basic car repair interesting.

The production company wants the show to be more focused on the brothers' dynamics.

Its completely greenlit, we have major manufacturers sponsoring each episode. Its a business deal above all. It seems like it will be aired in 2011. Im in acting class now to improve my screen skills. I do the youtube videos for practice, but im getting addicted to them.

Dude...that is awesome...scratch that...it's beyond awesome. Congrats to the fullest. Just looking around the site it will probably be something I tune it to see every week or whatever the schedule ends up being. Also looks like a great way to get the 7/rotary back into public eye.


once again, keep up the great work and the best of luck to you.

Yeah, i briefly spoke with Internet Brands about working together on sponsorship. They are committed to work together. It really will have a rotary influence, although we budgeted to destroy an 198x corvette each episode. God i hate that car as an automatic.

DGRR and the TV show are the reason im doing my single upgrade. Thanks for the props. Ill be stirring up the rotary community for help supporting my Youtube channel and ultimately the show as we get closer to airing it. I really need help getting it viral and culty. What better than RX-7 members :-D

Phil asked me to speak at DGRR. This video is overhyping my vocal talent. lol. See I'm like milli vanilli. I pay someone to dub my videos :-P

I still haven't spliced this wire. I signed a lease on a portion of an office building I own so i've been doing demo this weekend.

Don't feel bad, when I gutted my harness I took out the ground for the gauges! Don't remember which it was at this moment.
