compression tester

Hi all

Anyone in Great Falls have a rotary compression tester I can run on my 1st gen? It gave up on me the last SCCA event and I haven't looked at it since. I would just need to borrow it for as long as it take me to test the rotors compression.



Thanks Loren

I dont have a rotary compresstion tester,I have just a regular compression tester and it will still work to see if the engine is good.

You can just look for 3 consistent pulses on the gauge. Say 100 : 100 : 100 on both rotors.

I also need to snag a couple things and start Tearing into my FB to get it ready for racing. Need to get my Mazda Comp membership this year. Anyone up for a meet up and car show this upcoming weekend?

New guys should attend so we can meet them eh?

Hang in there Matt...hopefully you have paid your dues to the rotor gods lol.

I see someone bought the silver RHD FD.....he was at starbucks today, looks like a Malmstrom guys new toy. Any bids on how long it lasts til a apex seal pops?

I hope he didn't pay what the dealer was asking.

Yea hopefully I have ha ha, and I'm not trying to mean but I think this guy will break it soon. Then there will be a very low milage jap rx7 just sitting there and not knowing what to do with it. But might be suprized and keep it stock and going strong longer than ours. Anyways I might get lucky with mine and might be able to use most of the rotor seals. The engine only had around 3-4k just prob need some coolant seals and I will prob replace oil controll rings and springs then make sure clearaces are still good with other seals. But I have to get the engine out here soon pretty much ready to come out just need to get it out and apart. Just need to get my engine puller and stand back and tear it down then check to see what needs to be replaced.

Oh well, reppin FC all the way!

Hay Guys,
Been gone for a while, I just got a chance to play with my car today and I still dont have a real gas tank. but that is coming. I am thinking that when the carb was rebuilt they screwed up, I acts like is is not getting enuf fuel. Is there any where to get a new carb or what aftermarket carb will work? Or does some one have one that thay would be willing to part with? for a price (not to high a price but a price)

now now we should all play nice......but if he is cocky:

I hope he really appreciates the rarity of that FD. I WANTED to buy it soooo bad but our second coming closed the door on that dream. Oh well it would have been another OCD case for me to tinker on and another reason for my wife and I to fight lol.

I am sure he will find himself here online soon or later once the obsession kicks in

What carb and intake setup are you running now? Sorry if you already said, but I haven't really been paying much attention to this thread.

Your legs won't reach the ground. Car sits to high... We could always throw that N/A back in there till you get a Turbonative motor put together. Or to get the front end down so you can Yabba Dabba Doo your way around.


It is also really weird to see kyles old wing on that S4 at school all the time. Brings back some good memories.
