Our last outing was to White Castle in Orlando, Fl. Damn we are so many of those little burgers. I really want to do my suspension but it is hard to stop driving the car with this great weather and my other rotard friends wanting to cruise around

That is my buddy Fernando car. He lives in Deland and we live near Orlando. The car was flawless going to Daytona. We were going to follow him ihome but it would have taken us twenty extra minutes and he felt confident that the car would make the trip. Fifteen minutes later he called that he was stuck in the side of the road. We follow the military concept of no man gets left behind so we headed back to his location to find out his fuel pump was not functioning. My buddy Edgar did some majic and got the two pumps functioning again. We have yet to go on a cruise and someone not break down. First cruise was my car when I broke the splitter. The second cruise my buddy tire went flat after pricking up a nail. We have yet to have any real problems and the cars have been super reliable. So reliable that it upsets me when people say these cars are nti reliable Eight Fd in our group and all cars are reliable.

For sure brother. Since 1998 I have been in love with my 93 rx7 but, now I love it even more because i get to share that experience with my son. He loves the rx7 and is a rotard himself. Brap on

Headlight

The original headlights of my car have never been changed and my eyes arent getting any better. Tonight I will be headed to Ace Cafe for a rotary meet and it is at night. Originally I was going to change the light bulbs for some hid but they seem to push out a lot of heat. Considering the age of the wiring, I choose LED instead. Here are some pocs on how it went.

It was a great time and the turn out was definetly great. Ace Cafe did not have enough parking to hold all the rotary cars that showed up that day. Ninety eight percent of the cars there were very clean examples of rotary cars. I beleive that Central Florida has the most amount of rotary cars in the USA. I have no real facts to back this claim up but I just dont see these many rotary cars gathered anywhere else.

Under Construction





It is tuff not being able to enjoy my Fd but I am going on three years since I bought a Superpro Kit bushing kit and I have yet to install it. Today I decided I was going to get her off the road to install the polly bushings in the rear end. Man I miss her already.

So I started removing some items I know I have to remove to do this job. Everything came out pretty easy so far. I have never removed ths frame brace that runs from the front of the car to the diff. This is the only part of the job that I am concerned about. I am open for any tricks that makes it easier to remove. I also picked up the JP3 fuel filter relocation kit. I am in that area so I figured why not.

This might give a little help on the PPF. Skip to around 12 Minute mark. Might also be a good time to replace the top diff bushings as well
