Would this meet be in northern IA, central or what. I would love to attend depending on the distance. I am in Mankato, not to far from the border, quite often and I used to live in Mason City, IA. Keep me posted.

No license?? what's up with that? You been a bad boy?

 

*Raises hand for Cedar Rapids*

 

If I don't have any previous commitments (like last time) and my FD is still running (I'm resisting the urge to start rebuilding the front suspension), I would do anyplace within 50 miles of Iowa City.

 

I'm in.

 

Not exactly bad. More of being lazy and forgetful. Forgot about a ticket and lost license for not paying it. I will get it back once ticket is paid and I pay some other 200 dollar restitution thing. I havent had it for about a month and it really sucks the big one. I can have rides to/from work and around town but when I need to go to IC to get certain things, its kinda hard to get a ride. Moreso now that gas prices jumped up. I pretty much am breaking myself paying off fines and bills which is why it has been so hard to find an oven for my powdercoating.

 

Bummer But first things first...take care of the obligations first, then have fun. I haven't logged on to work yet, so I haven't had a chance to look at the online buy and sell for an oven.

you guys powder coat?

I might have a few manifolds that i would like to try that on.

def throw some pics up if u get some done.

 

Ian's getting set up to do some powder coating. He bought the powder coat system from Harbor Freight Salvage, but needs to get an oven before he can do some. I have a couple of pieces for him to practice with. I'd like to get set up to do some myself, but that will have to wait a while. Gotta get this blown 13B going first.

 

Powder Coating sounds fun. "Powder Coating get together!"

 

I'm also looking for a good S4 turbo, or a S5 turbo + S5 manifold. Feel like my turbo is gonna take a crap on me anytime soon.

 

don't forget the s5 front cover and return lines. That needs to be swapped too.

 

I was wondering what else needed to be changed. I was told in the 2nd gen section that only the manifold was needed. Well crappy.....looks like I'll just save some extra money and buy a new one. Maybe one of the SS Autochrome ones on ebay........... *waits for replies* ............ I don't think I'll buy one of those things, heard bad reviews on them.

 

I'll buy them again any day.

Really impressed with casey's SS manifold. No leaks/crack/warped ****.

For the money u cannot beat it in my humble opinion. I wanted a quiter exhaust so i went cast iron on the FD (hks) but would have gone SS autochrome.

It still looks new and casey can break anything he touches if it's not made 200% stronger than normal operating limits.

 

True......but i've heard the turbo's don't last very long. Just stuff I've heard, haven't seen anything.

 

My buddy lost the phone # for those RX-7's. Sorry. Jesse

 

manifolds and turbos are completely different.

I installed a name brand greddy to4 and it lasted what..... a whole 1,000 miles?

Might have been a bad rebuild or only had a 180 thrust bearing... all i know is that it wasn't healthy to begin with b/c it wouldn't rotate at idle.....(-3an feed and -16 return)

Not to sound like a complete *** but please just don't pass on info.

There is so much more to it than just who makes the turbo.

$1000 turbos fail all the time with less than 2k miles. If you can get a good CHRA your golden weither its a 200 dollar used turbo or 2k new one.

 

thanks for trying jesse

hey jason has chase got that white one off your hands yet cause if not id be interested

need a project if anyone knows any let me know thanks

 

I have got the white one, it is currently in the process of being gutted.

 

Just curious...how can you have a join date of June 2003, but only one post?? I thought I had a low post/day ratio

Rich

 

It is really easy. Most of the time I have little to contribute or do not feel it is worth the effort (as most things have allready been explained if you look long enough). Additionally I rather dislike idle chit chat and only visit the forum when I need to look something up.

 

I should rephrase that. Most things that I can comment on have already been explained somewhere. If I was trying to cut a new path I am sure I would post more often.

 

Well there you go...you just doubled your posts! I can understand the dislike for idle chit chat...I hate it. But c'mon...share your knowledge from time to time! It is certainly worth the effort. There is much to learn here, and I have learned that I can even help people from time to time!

Rich

 

Guess I will go for broke and use all my posts for the next 3 years.

I am up for a meet but I will probably be sans rx7. Depending on when and where it is I may or may not be able to get that day off of work, or be able to drive back in time for my next shift.

 

is that the ever so elusive chase that doesnt return calls it sure sounds like it your the only one that should have the white rx7
