**** i probly have a couple t2 afm's laying around ill ask brian and see what he has if anything i just won a new maf on ebay for 25 bucks so that should be in this week sometime

 

if diegorx8 doesn't buy it, i might if it's still around in about a month and a half.

 

josh it sits up off division and florence a few blocks north of locust you can swing by and take a look at it if you want his number pm me

 

I had a few more questions about it, How does it handle in the winter? Can it warm up normaly? I kind of want one for this winter, just something to get me around when temps are kind of low and no ice or snow. My rx8 will be on stands most of winter since ill be doing plenty of mods to it. And i already had a few minor accidents cause of the snow last year on it and don't want more. We could take this comv to Pm's if mods dont like this.

Also is anyone going to the Chicago meet the 9th? I know ill be stopping by during lunch break when we go to Six flags.
Thanks

 

do mods even check this thread?

 

LOL probably not but seeing as im new i was just making sure..

 

mods dont give a **** about what we say in here the car should drive just fine might just have to warm it up for a min in cold weather but should run good pm if you want his number

Hey you found our thread!! did you just join?


(This is Eric from Intermec BTW)

 

Yeah man i just joined last week, been through here since i had my 8 though. Especially that 20b section

BTW for our meet we so far have a few votes for Sunday the 17th. We will probably meet up at a park then head on out to where ever. I think state fair is gonna be going on too.

 

the 8 guys are meeting up?

 

Yeah and i hope some of you guys can make it too. there is some neat Mazda 3s in town that might be interested too. It will be in des moines.

 

The meet is in Des Moines? ****, that's a long drive from here.

 

yeah, thats a long drive from here (3 or more hours)

 

LOL common that ain't that bad, there was one in Omaha not too long ago. There is a guy from Texas coming up. But its all good, we could always have one later on(September maybe) before winter shows. And this one would be here in CR.

 

yeah depending on what i have going on i might head up i wouldnt mind getting out of town for the day and night just keep me informed with a date

 

Progress pics of "The Hood"

Filled and all the insane amount of rock chips feathered out:





Etch primed (bare metal areas):



In primer:



Tomorrow it will be flipped over and the bottom will be sprayed. Next, it will be flipped back right-side up and then sprayed and the hood will be done (after buffing). The chin spoiler will also be sprayed at same time as top of hood.

 

I should probably post up some pictures of the car that that hood goes to considering it's sitting out in front of my house right now. lol

 

ian thats looking good i cant wait to see some paint on it

damn my car is going to be jdm to the xxxxxxxxxtreme maybe i should go get those sweet jdm blue racing seats

 

It's definitely JDM dude. We need to just leave the exhaust the way it is because that's mad tyte JDM super drifto style muffler. Also, that "push button start" is super sweet too like when you twist it and the car turns itself over without you pushing the button. And to top it off you have a t-shirt for a heatshield.

 

sounds like someone is jealous

im really looking forward to getting everything back together and just driving the damn thing

 

So its currently flipped over and is black with clear on it... Hey man I got a deal for ya... For 25 total, bring down a set of FTPs and I will make them look good (assuming you have a set now). Also, DONT FORGET THE BOLTS FOR THE BATTERY TRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Top of hood, scoop, and chin spoiler to be sprayed tomorrow. I will post pics then. For now, off to bed.



Cody: Know anyone with the last name Brimeyer?

 

Yea, I do. There's a Brimeyer Autobody which is a body shop up here in Dubuque. They order a lot of body panels from our dealership and we do a lot of business with them. As far as anyone else with that name, I'm not really sure.

Steve - hopefully this car will be done soon. I wouldn't mind actually taking it out and driving it to see what it will actually do instead of having to be really easy on it due to the bad suspension pieces. It seems like it could still have some speed to it, but you can't push it because of the bad ball joints and wheel bearings. Are you able to come up this Sunday possibly? We could put a lot of time into it that day and get it mostly finished. If you ordered the wheel bearings and wheel studs they'd be here in time for Sunday.

EDIT: Yea Steve, I am super jealous of your super awesome drift machine. I'll just admit it.

 

What's up everyone?

I am new to this board and rotaries, but I live in Iowa and I thought this would be an appropriate place for a first post.

Quick summary... I live just east of Des Moines. I do not own a RX7, but I am planning on swapping a 13B into my '73 Super Beetle. I have 2 non-turbo 13Bs and 1 turbo 13B that I have to use, all fuel injected. I do not have an ECU to use with any of them, yet. I am wondering what it takes to get a EFI 13B to run with the least amount of hassle.

If anyone has any info or wants to help out in any way, I would appreciate it, if not, it's all good.

Hope I get a chance to meet up with some of you and work on some rotaries!
Later.
