4th times a charm
 

Well i blew my motor again :ugh2: this time i didnt have a little break i blew every apex seal. i detonated so hard that it put a huge dent on one the face of my rotor i even blew my 35r. check out the carnage

you can see the seals were cracked on all the corners also if u look at the corners of both rotors u can see the scratches which means i have to get new rotors maybe.

on a plus note im going open waste gate and i decided to go a different route and not use my power FC i bought a microtech lt10 engine management and maybe a few more goodies.

Damn..Why so many motors? Poor tuning? You will like the microtech. G

yea and combination of bad gas. see the problem was i had the car built in chicago then sent to tucson AZ were i was going to school car was built for 93octane and in tucson there is only 91 not to mention different climate and constant change in elevation.

bummer. can't wait to see the new setup. keep us updated.

how are you not in like...major dept. thats gotta be a huge bill

well what you dont no is that my car has been blown since before the summer so now im getting it fixed.

Some people are really good with what money they make and manage it well.....others just make more. :rlaugh:

I'm also waiting for Enkie NT03+m and a nardi steering wheel. The wheel sizes are 18x9.5 +27 18x10.5 +30. I will be powered coating these wheels some crazy color. i have a few ideas floating around but i think i know what im going to do

thats all for now.

i guess your right. but $1500(if you could get away with that price doing things yourself) is not just the easiest to come by. especially if you had no intentions of putting money into a rebuild

Nice parts there. I was going to say that you'll need to change your sig now, but then I saw the new wheels' offsets. :)

Nice parts man.

Have you been building your engine yourself?

Housings look familiar

Nice, I need one of your money trees in my yard. I like everything but the steering wheel. A Nardi wheel may be recognized by some for it's expense, but few would agree that it looks good in an RX7 interior. Vintage Jaguar yes, Mazda FD RX7, No. You do have good taste for nice upgrades though.

damn man....cant wait to see the beast for ONCE

Ted you home?

everything looks great except the steering wheel.. just not my cup of tea... how much did you pay for thos coilovers?

I see you are in IL you should bought your engine from the same place your brace is coming from (Banzai). Chris at Banzai builds and tunes great engines that last. Who is doing your tuning?

I believe its going there :)

Great people over there, they built mine :icon_tup:

My first piece of advice to you is to buy a wideband (if you don't already have one) and mount it on your steering column cover, between/beneath your tach with an Autometer universal mounting cup. That way you always know what your AFR is. That's no guarantee against a blown motor, but it will keep you more aware of what's going on in your engine, especially in the case of elevation and temperature changes. The PFC commander also has a peak display mode that will let you know if you had a random boost spike, increased knock readings, or a heatsoaked IAT sensor or something. Even if you take your car to a reputable tuner you can't get complacent. Shit happens.

motor is at banazi now !

gutted the interior, i still have a bunch to do and clean.
