Thanks for your comments. I'm tempted by the Lotus from time to time and may give in eventually. But the FD is the better car for a long drive so I've held back.
IMO opinion, it's the power steering that is the major cause of the numb feeling.
It's overboosted. In the 99+ cars they introduced a valve that reduces the steering assist. It's always surprised me that aftermarket suppliers didn't offer that here for a retrofit, but I've never heard that they have
I need to get this valve...I think your right the steering feels crappy to me


Seriously don't change a cosmetic thing on that car. Seriously. Another really pretty FD. Love the wheels/paint/everything.
Thanks man!
The guy that built it up did it right :icon_tup:

Wow!!! That's one of the nicest FD's I've ever seen! Great photographs too; what kind of camera did you use?
Thanks Its a Canon 20d with kit lens

And you say bad air pump, but did you know that you don't have an air pump?

Either way, very nice car. Love the color.

Ahh yes I have research to do, thanks man I will look into it


Disconnect the tps and see what happens. The PFC doesn't really need it.It's possible it's a vacuum leak but normally on a single FD you can hear and find em pretty quick and the idle would usually just run high not bounce.
Thanks I will try that with the PFC
But my idle isnt bouncing?

A color matched R1 wing would look sweet. Beautiful car.

thats one clean car man. . . kudos on buying a good ride!!!

Snook 06-09-06 04:23 PM

The car is clean, I'd do a few things differently. Get rid of the mazda speed logo and get a new RX-7 one. Get some efini emblems instead of the bird. 99 spec front bumper, oem sideskirts, paint the black rear trim the color of the car, shave the rear wiper and antenna, and polish up the engine bay. Also theres a gap between the rear bumper and fender on the passenger side. Nice car, everyones idea of perfect is different but it's def. one of the nicer ones on the forum.

Nice car. The paint looks good. The rear looks a little low, in my opinion.

Beautiful car and nice pics. Only one complaint and to me its a big one. You shoulve painted the engine bay when you painted the car blue. Sorry, but other than that your car is beautiful. Well done!

Cgotto6 06-09-06 05:46 PM

God damn. I thought you were actually 19. I almost crapped myself. Your car is beautiful! Im 19 and I can barely afford mine! Congrats on the purchase, and keep that baby lookin good!!

I actually think the engine bay looks good like that............. it's weird but I think it looks neat. :)

HardHitter 06-09-06 08:43 PM

Sorry to bring things off topic, but Lupe, do you have anymore pics of your car?

'87 turbo II 06-09-06 08:49 PM

WOW. that is hotter then hell. nice work man

RE-Amemiya 06-09-06 09:13 PM

WOW!!! That's GORGEOUS. Nice pictures.

In all honesty, i had a dream about my car looking like that, just with the spoiler.

Sweet Ride for sure. About your idle and stuff. I would check the AWS. Mine's capped off because I have the Greddy Elbow and if I try to start my car in neutral the idle sky rockets to about 2k to 3k. As long as I start it in first and bypass the AWS the car sits at 800rpm. Might not be your problem but just a suggestion.

Congratulations and welcome to the addiction.

We have the same wheels..... But your I beleive are the Profil Mirror finish while mine are the clear coated machined finish and your look superb compared to mine :(

Very nice car, also wait till you get some brake dust on the Fikse's they are a b**ch to clean hint* find a good wheel brush.

Again beautiful car,

Alex

9MPG is better than 7MPG . So you're the one who built the lifted FC. :smileysex
