Ich habe mir den FC auch schonmal angeguckt.
Mir fällt da nur so ein Kerl in Bochum ein der auch den Motor eines Bekannten nachgeguckt hat.
I looked at that FC abit ago. I can only think of one guy in Bochum who works on rotaries. At least he rebuilt or worked on a few.
There is some guy in the Netherlands aswell I think.

Well I can definitely rebuild and modify engines so add me to the list. With my conversion I am going to modify the transmission tunnel tonight. Has anyone here ever made transmission mounting points on an area away from the originals? I have plate steel so my question is... Can I weld a plate on the inside and outside of the sheetmetal and tie it into the frame rails for strength?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you that is exactly what I have been looking for. Where do you buy your computers and associated equipment from?
Also quick question... Is there any place here where I can get "JB Weld" or the european equivalent? The idiot that welded the fitting onto the fuel tank left som pinholes and I cant find him. He went on vacation.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

HI,
I get all my kit from the uk. Let me know what you guys need, and i can either get it, or possibly put you in contact.
BTW, There will be a large group of RX7's coming over to the Ring from the UK, over easter weekend. Give us a shout if anyone wants to join us.

Well I won't show up in a "7" but will a rotary powered car do?? lol.
I found some 2 part epoxy at the German hardware store. It says that it is fuel and petroleum safe. I tested it out on some fitting threads. and filled the pot with gasoline. If it holds up I will use it on the tank. It has the same oily consistency as JB weld and it sticks to the metal surface quite well. After it set I hit it with a hammer a couple of times and it did nt chip or scratch. It felt like it had some flexibility to it. This morning I checked it again and it still had the same consistency and no leaks. measured pressure at the fitting is .5 PSI from all the fuel in the pot.

Wassup People?
I own a 1995 FD JDM that I imported from Japan last December. I'm in the Army and currently stationed here in Grafenwoehr until 2009. I just wanted to join this group because you are the closest RX7 owners that I know I can get valuable informations from.
