Is it pulling coolant from the reservoir effectively? That may be the reason it only does it while cold. I do have a set of rear calipers also shoot me an offer.

Matts FMIC is mounted i think all he needs his a new BOV and a few clamps and a coupler or two. i think he orded the BOV already. as for his hood im still doing the body work to it. its gonna take at least one more coat of primer after i finish the filler on it. im hoping to have it done by the end of the week.

ok so i found a set of front calipers for 20 bucks each. i dont know what kind of condition they are in though. they dont look too bad but im getting the rebuild kit for them anyway. i put the last of the primer on matts hood today so ill just have to sand it one more time to make sure its even then it will be ready for paint. hopefully it will be ready by next tuesday. its so hard to tell though. i want everyone to be able to see it though before the weather gets too bad.

so.....I think I am gonna go with the Tanabe GF210 springs. I know they drop low BUT I think I have some sag already with my factory springs and these tanabes with surely close the gap in my wheel wells. Just hope I dont need to roll the fenders.

All reviews have been good and they are 30% stiffer them factory(i am gonna hate that on these GF roads) .

How goes everybody else?

The only thing I can think of is its that battery you have. I don't think it handles the load of your lights stereo heat etc. Do you not have any grounds? Also you get the reservoir to pull coolant back into the system?


So can anyone guess how long its been since I have driven a Rotary car? It's really pissing me off. Almost enough to sell something off the rx2 to buy my FPR and WideBand so the 7 can live. Or do i buy a fuel cell so the rx2 can live? Hmmmm. The rx2 is rattle can tastic now all sealed up. Still can't get the wheels to hold air so I might have to fix and or get new ones. I hate having 2 projects one of these is going to have to sit for a while.

Huh we will have to check some grounds.

No motor is still sitting out. I have been thinking on if I am going to redo the fuelrails for parallel. I have just been dinkin on the rx2 getting the parts and emblems back on. Other then that I am just going to be working and saving money till the new year atleast. I don't think either car is going to be drivable untill after that.


Oh and do any of you guys have MSN messenger you should hit me up with your ID so I can add you mine is chibikougan or chibikougan@hotmail.com
