By the soudns of it you have a good amoutn of cash. In my opinion you might wanna pick up some ceramic apex seals, and the rotary aviation water seals.
CERMIC SEALS?...DONT THINK IVE HEARD OF THOSE, THE BLOCK I GOT COMES WITH 3MM APEX SEALS...ARE THOSE GOOD?...MY CAPS BUTTON IS STUCK...DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A CRIME TO TYPE IN CAPS..LMAO!

Thats a debate around here. Are 3 better then 2 and so on. From what I have gathered 2 will seal better then 3....3 just has more holding power against detonation. Re Amemiya for instance uses 2mm stockers form mazda on their 20b super GT car, and says there is no need for anything else. From what I have also gathered depending on where you get your seals the metal can be softer or harder in the apex seals. Atkins apparentely is softer then stock, Rotary aviation though has 2 different types of hardened ones that appear to be quite good, and NRS motor sports from australia has Ceramic ones that are way stronger then all of them (supposisly) , and come in 3mm as wel as 2. Now keep in mind the Mazda 787B 24 hours le Mans car used ceramic seals. And after the race was over they said there was vurtually no ware on the engine or seals becasue they are so much lighter and stronger (again supposidly). THough surely there must be a reason Ceramic ones cost about 1600 dollars shipped I believe? Whatever the reason is I think I will go with the Ceramics the next time I do a rebuild or rotary aviation ones at the very least.

I am just wondering how the heck you intend to work on and maintain a turbo rotary when you can't even operate your keyboard properly.

I just cannot believe someone who spent 30k on a car can't afford a new $15 keyboard.

that's one gorgeous Z!! that color is obscenely beautiful. i'm not huge on Veilside, but that it still looks pretty good. i'd highly suggest you take a lot of time to do some reading in the FAQ's, they can save you a lot of time and heartache...

congratulations, you've got the idea. the FAQ's are there for a reason, as is the 'Search' function. use them, get to know them, learn to love them, then caress them, and some day you might make sweet, passionate love to them.

That is because people that are smart skip college and open their own business. Or at the very least I have gone 3/4s of the way and opened mine. You don't need to know English or really anything school teaches you to be successful. Everything my business school has taught me does not relate to jack to the real world.




Good luck on the build, lets not make it ugly as ****.

Good English/grammar skills are not required for drug dealing or being the spoiled offspring of wealthy people....:
