The engine's running kind of choppy. I suspect vacuum leaks. I'll start trying to track them down after the control arm is in.

congrats!
interested to see her running at full stride.

Dont worry Bob, I have another trans for you also. No one wants the SA motor and trans combo except Zeke lol. The SA rans is most likely a 4 speed, but it is possible it is a 5 speed.

I'm tempted to take that red SA out of the junkyard. I'm a sick, sick individual. I have to keep telling myself that mine's not all right yet.

So, when's this meet? My RX-7 is running like a champ now, and I'd like to see some other ones besides me. I haven't seen Jason's FD in a while, wouldn't mind seeing it again, especially in the daylight.

The BMW hit a big rock on our gravel road so i'm driving the FD while that's getting fixed. Compared to the BMW the FD is a black death coffin.

I really enjoy driving it in the snow >.>

I just need more time to do stuff now.......

I should have plates by then, but I don't know whether or not I'll be in the country, much less in town. If there's any way for me to be there, though, you know I will.

if your having a garage sale... i need some cheap used turbos for a 93.... i think mine are blown and dont have much money to fix it right now... i was thinking of getting some used ones for cheap just to throw in there to see how much of a difference it makes... nothing permanent... just a couple turbos that will last long enough to see if that is the problem or not...
