Think we should start to plan our second meet.

Give those losers a second chance that didnt' bring a car (cough, cough, me).

Throw some dates out.

 

I am thinking mid July. Preferably on a Sunday again so I know I dont have to work lol.

 

yeah we need to start to plan another meet it's pretty doubtfull that i will have another rx7 but ill probly have a decent awd turbo talon

hey jason you get the fd running yet oh yeah my brother might want to pick up that bov off you this week ill talk to him tomorrow and let you know

oh yeah i just remembered also June 10 my brother and i will be heading up to chicago to a Formula Drift event it's a blast and if anyone else wants to go with us let us know just give me a call

563-210-7205

 

Got the engine started about a week ago.

Now focusing on foot work. Installed the front rotors/pads/coilovers/ss lines today.

Tomorrow i'll finish up the rears.

Things to do-

Cold side IC piping
Get exhaust made (dp and dump pipe)
Hook up external wg line
Make a grounding wire
Pillow ball bushings install (cry)
Bleed brakes

...... and not much else. Later after i tune for drivabilityit i'll try to put the AC in. The Apexi FMIC makes it really hard so i left it till after i get car the way I like it. I'll also have to throw the 850cc in the primaries then retune for boost.

Been steady progress with no real set backs.

July I should easily have it ready even with the two weeks in June i'll be gone.

As for the BOV I think i'll use it on the FD instead of the Apexi one that came with it. I dont' like the sound of the apexi and decied to go the extra mile and use the HKS BOV even though it's more work.

I'll sell the apexi bov and Greddy pop off valve for 110 bucks mounted on the Apexi IC cold side if he's intersted. He can most likely resell it and make money if he doesn't want to use it.

 

cool i cant wait to see that thing ill tell my brother about that other bov he'll probly still want it

 

Mid july sounds good.

week after the 4th weekend?

 

Eventually...i'm going to quit being a complete no show to all these events and make an appearance. Just let me know a bit in advance and I'll try to get it off-if things go to plan, the ol' 10AE will have a little somethin else too...

 

Sounds good.

 

yeah whenever is alright with me i wont have a 7 but ill have something plus i know my brother would be down maybe even shea with jason's old fc

there's another midnight mayhem on june 30 you should bring the fd down jason ill be running mine and i think brian and shea will be running their cars

sweet. Take a vid and send it to me. I need to hear it. Dont forget the camera!!!


Edit: I will also be at Cordova on the 30th. If anyone knows ANYTHING about tuning a carb please let me know...

 

hey Ian i just remembered you wanted the number to the dyno shop i go to these guys are really cool and very good on there pricing i think it's like 85 bucks for an hour on a dyno

illinois dyno shop- 309-523-9200

yeah ill be up at cordova again on the 30th this time i should have the talon up there im taking it to the tranny shop on wednesday so i can get it going before formula drift

 

Right on thanks man.

 

Any chance we could do it in Des Moines this time so I don't have to drive across the state.

 

Just as long as I can find it, and I know NOTHING about DM area. Maybe I can follow someone if it is in DM.

 

Des Moines doesn't bother me.

I think most of us are around the CR area so we could just meet up and do a cruise down to Des Moines.

 

yeah i would be down for something like that a cruise to des moines then hang out somewhere in DM for a bit maybe hit a tit bar

 

If there are only 4 or 5 of us interested in doing this, we might as well just meet up at someones house.

 

 

Hhahah good to see you got her running again.

What axes did u use stock TII's again?


- Ya 4-5 ppl would be fun too. I'd like to do another day then hit the dyno to tune and see what my car can make.

I think mid july would work best

 

Those are stock TII axles and rear. I am going to replace it all with an 8.8" Ford axle soon. I need a 3.73 gear really badly. I am running through the traps at 115mph in 4th gear hitting the rev-limiter.

what was your best 60ft?


oh and my FD is absolute blast to drive now with those bushings and coilovers on.

can't wait to come back in 2 weeks and finish it up and start feel'n the boost

 

1.76

What bushings did you replace on the FD?


Jesse

 

all 6 rear pillow ball bushings.

The rest are mostly rubber and look to be in really good condition as I inspected every bushing related to suspension..........

Rides is alot smother than my Acura Integra (stock suspension) ><

 

btw i'll be gone for 2 weeks for AT.
