Thanks, i've decided to put it up for trade, I know it's a long shot. But I see it might be too difficult to convert it into a 5 speed. So that's what I put it up for a trade for a 5 speed FC

Good luck man. Do you know of any 7 clubs/communities around Palmdale that might be able to help?

Sucks unfortunately i dont some people seem to be down in the LA as far as i can really recall. So im pretty much the lone wolf up here.

I think it kind of sucks tho because i seem to be getting attached to this car even though its been sitting for half thetime i've had it. But converting seems to be quite the hassle but of recent research seems i lucked out and dont need the whole rear end with the auto driveshaft. But again parts is somewhat difficult to acquire

My cars used been sitting for a month waiting for me to drop a clutch in her. Just continue maintenance, keep it running, and when the time comes, tear it apart, and put it back together. Try Craigslist for parts, it might just be a TX thing, but there seems to always be Rx stuff on there! And there is always someone on here that can help you pretty quickly. If you like your car, keep it! Get an idea for what you wanna do with it, and follow through!

Well cars been running pretty good the past few days except for the idle that seems to idle at about 1700 then once I put it in gear then it drops down to about 850 or so.

But something funny happened today, went to the gas station first start of the day in the afternoon started just fine, then got to the gas station turned it off pumped gas. Then went to start it and it wouldn't start tried the EGI fuse trick. Didn't work figured it was flooded. so tried for about 15 minutes or so. Then tried to start it with the pedal all the way down nothing. Tried for like 30 to 1 hour. nothing

So decided to leave it for about an hour came back took a few tries then started and went back to normal idling so I'm not sure what could be the problem. I would have thought it was flooded.

It does sound like it was flooded, but the EGI trick should fixed it. Flooring the pedal didn't help anything though. Check your fuel system (pump, filter, lines, rail, and injectors) and I bet you'll find your problem.

The engine still looks nice

Its in good shape though.

Looks can be deceiving!

probaholic1 08-02-11 12:00 PM

hahah.. yup, well on the mean time that I fix or replace stuff that is wearing out. I found an awesome deal on Some wheels so I decided to pick them up.
Now I had just put these wheels on when i took the pictures so the car still needed to settle a little bit.
what really is bugging me is those side markers I want to clear corner them or something.
Another idea I got for the wheels is maybe paint the lip on them green.

probaholic1 08-09-11 09:22 PM

Welll fuck, nw plugs and wires. And it doesn't want to start all of a sudden. I need help

probaholic1 08-10-11 01:57 AM

So i'm lost at words left at the gas station one, day because I think it was flooded ran good after that for a few days.

Then went to x games, went to the gas station then came home, and it was over thought it was flooded. Nope, then I check the wires and noticed that one of the tips broke, so then I had to wait for new NGK wires and plugs. Now it cranks and wants to start but it doesn't.

I would hate for it to have lost compression would not know how it would have lost it.

probaholic1 08-22-11 10:54 PM

AND NOW SHES SOLD. which sucks because the guy I was going to pick up the other Rx7 had a change of heart.

probaholic1 08-26-11 12:08 PM

It was, but then picked up a 5speed
