Have you heard from Ryan I've been trying to get hold of him?

Also I have not been driving my FD much. Probably drove <500 miles since last dyno. I've have new larger injectors as Kan suggested but have never installed them yet.

I plan to come out and hang out with you guys if thats OK. And if there is room for stand by I'd like to dyno the FD that is if I can get the new injectors installed in time.

My ABS pump is leaking because I ran Dot5 fluid and found out later that the bottle actually said not to be used in cars with ABS. My mistake for not reading direction.
Anyone know of a used or new ABS pump in good condition locally. For that matter is it rebuild able.

Let me know. Send me email or PM

Alex

What's up Alex ! Been wondering where you've been hiding !

Yeah, stand by dyno time is always a go. Plenty of downtime from broke RX7's.

Of all people, I know you'll be down to party Saturday Night !

Ryan, he's hard to get ahold of. You might have luck sending him a pm on here, I've seen him post lately in the lounge. I'd hope that he'll show up next weekend.

Man what a bitch it is to replace primary injectors!
I'm having to end up replacing oil lines as well since I have the top end out. Also found some kinked vacum lines. Now I know why I hate wrenching on the FD!
300RWHP at the wheels should have been good enough!

Updated List, first 3 go on saturday. Last 3 go on sunday. Tuning starts at 9am, don't be late. I remove myself from the list, couldn't get things together in time. Also, Juice couldn't get his together in time either.


Steve Kan Tuning Information

Steve Kan will be in St.Louis from April 4th to April 7th. He'll be tuning on the April 5th-6th which falls on a saturday and sunday. His rate is $350 for a basic tune which requires a deposit of $200. Listed below is the pricing structure for custom tunes.

$350 - Stock turbo up to 12psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$400 - Aftermarket turbo up to 16psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map

__________________________________________________ ______________

Everyone needs to make a checklist before Steve Kan arrives. This is what he said in an earlier post.

"Here're some items to inspect/replace before the dyno. New plugs (less than 1k miiles), new fuel filter (less than 5k miles), inspect spark plug wires, oil change, full tank of whatever gas you normally run, inspect tires (no nails or anything that can fly out during the dyno), inspect coolant fluid (change if necessary), clean air filter, put all the mods in that you plan to run before coming to the dyno (I don't think there'll be enough time to install them on the same day)."


If you want to be added to the list, please let me know asap.

Mine won't be done in time, I wasn't able to get a radiator and waterpump put in.

I'll be there all day, though.

Looking forward to hanging out, Mike.

You should come on down to stl, I've made that drive to indy several times in my truck or a rental and it takes me 3.5-4hrs. In my RX7 I can probably cut that time in half.

I made it out last year when i was getting tuned, so i'll skip this one. I do want to come and race at Gateway sometime. Have any good events this season that would be fun for street rx-7s?
