So I finally got my car to idle and i can drive it now but there is some weird things happening and not sure whats going on.
First is that while it idles it isn't a consistant idle and soulds almost like a misfire on a normal motor and it bounces around 750-850 rpm but it stays between those consistantly.
Second is everytime i try and drive it nice and soft not throwing it into boost hardly at all, from the start it will be bog down pretty hard but then it will shoot up and just take off.
Any help? Tried to explain it the best i can lol

Hey... I know someone who has a Turbo 7 they need to sell... They don't want to sell it, but they need to. 
I heard a rumor that there is going to be a autocross this weekend at the fair grounds here in Great Fools. Like just out in the parking lot I guess.
Can anyone confirm that or does anyone know the details on it?

scca autocross
The last autocross of the year will be on Oct 12th. Registration closes at 9am, it's $35 for non SCCA members, and $20 for members. They try to get you at least 6 runs in the day depending on how many cars show up.
Your battery has to be mounted down and all loose items removed from the trunk and inside, if you don't have a helmet they have loaners. So register your car, pass tech inspection and you should be good to go. If you've never run the autocross before you have to do your first run with a scca member, but after that your good to go.
It would be nice to see some other RX7s running out there, We've been driving our A$$es off and still coming up at the bottem of the pack. Don't know if it's just rookie drivers or just the others have that much more power over us!!!
Last weekend was out at the base and the setup was about twice as big as the fairgrounds, both are great fun!!! Had some problems with high engine temps, hope to have fixed by the 12th.
Come out if you can, run or watch it's still good cheap fun!

yeah the only thing that i was even interested in was the 5 bolt hub but i dont have any rims to fit it anyway and i could probably get it from matts bro cheaper too. i think ill just keep my car for now, keep working on it and upgrade it as far as i can and then sell. i probably wont be able to afford a turbo model for a while. but the only things i can think of to do with my na would be to do a full perf. exhaust( Racing Beat down pipe, Pre silencer, and apexi cat back,) and intake. i dont really know what else i can do. bigger injectors, new fuel pump, reflash ecu or piggy back?
