Straightened out my fender and wired up my headlights yesterday, as well as found a bunch of wires cut and unattached behind the dashboard, one of which is the ubiquitous LY + wire that looks like it's causing my problems. That was yesterday. Today, worthwhile day in DM. Pulled the engine and transmission out of the wrx. It's ready for new framerails/ a new front end. Wished I had an engine hoist.

ok... i have realized in the last few days while trying to take my turbos out that i know as much about an rx7 engine as i do about building rockets.... and i kno nothing about building rockets....

where is the closet place that i can take my FD to get it fixed? that will not charge an arm and a leg. im in hampton, ia (its in the middle of iowa, google it) there is a mazda dealer in waterloo about an hour away (but i will not take it to a mazda dealer)

is there any RX7 specialists? or at least rotary specialists?

Well i just got done taking mine off and porting them so maybe i'll try and head out there once mine's done. It shouldn't take more than 2 hours to get them off depending on how far you've already gotten.

Hey guys check the other thread and add some input as far as the date of the meet. I dont care what day or place, Im hardcore. Gravel roads dont scare me... We need to figure this out as soon as we can so everyone can get time off from work and/or make plans.
