I dont think max has an excuse to avoid this meet. Unless of course he doesnt want to go.

 

i hope max goes, i would like to touch-base with him about my car....

he said he would take a look at it, my car still isnt running properly and i cant enjoy it....

 

Like I said, there are good running RX's in town, Max's included, but they don't hang around here. Might want to visit where they do hang out and make a notice.

There should be no excuse for non running or poorly running rotary's in Calgary, we have a "Specialties" shop don't we

 

it was a joke. obviously we're not just gonna show up at Max's without an invite. if my car is still in his shop, i'm gonna head over there. hopefully it'll be done and running.

obviously your one of the rare breed of rx-7 owners who has'nt been fucked around by that piece of **** shop..... or maybe you happen to own that piece of **** shop. if thats the case then maybe you should come down to the meet. I'd love to talk to you....

 

a "Specialties" shop i prefer not to go too....

 

I've only ever lost one day of driving the RX-7 in 8 years of ownership - flooded one morning before work, and I took my other car instead, leaving it to dry out during the day Most reliable and trouble free car I've ever had.
All she asks is to be taken to the track or autocrossing every couple of weeks during the summer and be flogged hard!

 

Sorry TD07, i thought you were someone else. disregard that last paragraph i wrote.

 

FB was the most reliable 7 I owned.


FC was the least reliable.


FD was the one that came around and bit me in the ***. Would start and drive every day, but it ran like ****. One day I sold it when it was running good and the other guy never had a problem. It was always 100% for him.



As for the specialties shop. PERSONALLY, I've had more trouble at a mazda dealership with work and repairs, and especially money, than I've had at the specialties shop. But thats my personal experience.

 

yeah, i'll be there, looks like the rex won't be ready though, taking a new direction with it maybe, i'll bring some pics though. and i'm not riding the unicycle... i think i'll drive my neon instead.

 

Hahaha no worries, my comments were not aimed at you I just found it funny that for a guy who has not posted on this forum in many months, people talk like they know him, even to go as far as refering to the condition of his lawn etc.

In addition I'm not sure there's a car in town that hasnt been fucked by RX-7 Specialties, I'm no exception, got lucky and learnt my lesson early though. It's a really shame but whatever.

On a side note, your car could really be a stunning machine, just needs some TLC in the body fitment department, and sounds like Max is working on the tuning issues. Great wheels though, right size, gives the car an awsome stance.

 

thats cool. it's just a touchy subject for me because i wasn't so lucky. Max is gonna make brakets to fit the new mazdaspeed carbon bumper so i'll probobly run that shitty fiberglass bumper over with my jeep. it never fit very good. im going down there tomorrow. you should stop by. i heard he has a box of roofing nails for sale, pretty cheap price too. ask him about it...

 

Ya I know about that. It's part of the reason I said what I did I'd enjoy a drive down there, but I have to work tomorrow so..... That bumper's nice by the way, hopefully the fitment will be better than the other one, I assume you plan on painting the carbon fibre though?

It actually sounded pretty good when I was there last weekend, idling issues at that time notwithstanding. Apparently it was way worse when it first arrived there. Max is meticulous and doesn't settle for anything short of perfection. You're in good hands.

 

Too bad max is too busy to serve the whole RX-7 community. But I'll give him one thing though. He's completely honest. At least in my experience. Definetly the go too guy for all your tuning needs.

 

Wow, I actually read a Calgary meet post before it happens! I should check in more often. I'm stuck in Iqaluit of all places until the 23rd so there's a good chance I'll be able to show for this one. Last one I was able to make was Sunridge Mall...

 

could someone say hi to Max for me, tell him the guy with the broken JDM FC says hi i guess....

 

Its not broken. It just doesnt like you.

 

 

Maybe if you can get "him" to tune it you'll finally run against me. That is if you don't try and touch anything after he has it running right.

 

That's the best advice you can give Mr. RX7 Guru???

Why don't you get a hold of the previous owner or whoever put that S4 motor in your car? They clearly didn't do it correctly. Why didn't they put a S5 motor in your S5 FC?; did they feel like they needed a challenge? Seems like your car was kluged together. Good luck with your issues.

I would start reading up on your car and it's parts and start narrowing down what the issue is. Might even have to go down to the harness/sensor/ECU (F.Con) level rather than just components.

 

when my car's running properly, you'll definitly get your race....

dont worry about that....

 

Did you find some extra HP in your supercharged 1st gen or are you talking about another car that you own?

 

Man, been out of the loop awhile?


My bad, I guess we dont post everything we talk about personally on the forum. Its not like the ol' days be for telephones and Messengers.

 

Just an update, I got my new transmission in and it seems to work good, so I am back in for the meet. My FC3s has engine wise never et me down and neither did my old 83 fb, that thing would start in minus 30 weather it was great, I think you just have to bag on the rx7 to keep them running, it seems to work for me. And one other thing I think the Idea of starting an actual club is a great idea, it would make it easier to arrange things like an RX track day.

 

Hahaha can't argue with that. I expected better advice from Alak, the guy that seems to be able to fix everone elses rx oh expect his own. So what's so new with Gary's first gen? Water injection? Will that get it to break 200rwhp? Maybe you gave in and just threw a shot of nirtous on there.
