I'll put you on the list.

With my old FD, I just made a bypass myself with the existing brake lines. I ran the passenger side brake line under and along the bottom/back side of the engine subframe.

I replied to your PM, but 340 whp is nothing for a stock twin car

Is yours the one in you avatar? Never seen it around. I would get bigger secondaries for sure and just try and make everything as efficient as possible. I made the drive back in April and will be again in November. It is definitly worth the tune.

Viking- I will be sending my deposit this week.

So this is where im at. i have intake, full exhaust and bur9s all around. i recently put my powerfc back in the car and a friend made a few adjustments to it. he is the most knowledgable guy i know for the rx7 (fitzrx7) well i get into it and the car runs decent and then in the transistion thats where im having problems, it sputters out real bad and i just let off. i have a aem uego a/f gauge and i dont know if you have to calibrate it or not but im showing high numbers unless im just crusing. Im hopin Steve will be able to get rid of this problem for me. I will send money as soon as i can. How many people do you have coming so far and does he have a set limit on cars he wants there? i know he usually wants 4-5 cars.

Yes, Steve can do that.

FYI, they checks that I receive won't be cashed until I hand them over to Steve when he gets here. I just hold them in my drawer until he gets here.

Cory cracked the rear housing a week ago. So if we can get a new motor in soon, we will still be coming.
