Ongoing New Mexico thread
It was nice meeting you Brian! Hope to see your TII running soon. I'm working on getting those tires. I put in my rtek and I'm starting to realize tuning is not that easy. Once I get it tuned well we should get another cruise poppin!
Oh nice man! Are you just doing a street tune or are you gonna dyno it? I can take you that bumper sometime this week. I'm in las vegas but I'll take it up to abq with my turbo block. A cruise sounds good we just need more people!
Right now I'm street tuning it. Still got a few hiccups to iron out but its at 11 lbs and hasn't blown up yet.
The car's looking good Anthony! I got my new wheels finally, just waiting to get some tires now. Also got my single kit sitting in the garage along with a 2002 11k mile engine (going to port and rebuild as soon as parts are in), an 02 transmission, Racing Beat light flywheel, and more!! Once I'm done getting everything installed I'll take her to Car Crafters to have Jim put my Carbon Creations 99 spec front end, side skirts, and rear diffuser on, and put a fresh coat (or ten!) of Montego Blue on her, since somebody decided to hit her and run D:< grrrrrr.... Got all my guages and stereo put in finally. Oh, and my V-mount setup should be in early next week too!!! She's coming right along!

I think I want to keep the stock front with the R1 lip and carbon side and rear difuser. Then just work the performance upgrades.
Sorry Phil, Sorry Steven.
I have not been on for a bit,
Doing some summer classes and backpacking.
The SMS event was awesome!!! Best one so far, I got a little quicker around the course, still not as good as you guys, but now im 7 sec behind Jac w/ the S2 instead of 10 sec behind... haha. I cant wait till the next event I did a little more maintenance/work on my car, I will c if it makes any diff. How about you guys?? Your cars ready for August??
Sorry so late,

Here is what I've been doing.. We went to comp late June, finished 26th out of 86. I personally finished 9th in autocross, so I was really excited about that.

Weird.. I thought the same thing so I decided to come check out the forums tonight. I haven't touched the rx7 in weeks. Going to change the oil in the next couple weeks and it should be ready to rip in Farmington! I will definitely be there.

Nice work Steven!! Im gonna sign up for the next event here soon. I removed my rear sway bar, hoping it will give me a little better traction. I kinda felt awkward at the last event.... I was the only 7! We gotta catch those S2s. hahah

My FC has a fuel leak under the lower intake manifold. If my tires sell then I'll probably get a co-drive in August. If they don't sell then I'll fix the leak and bring the 7. Jake is an excellent driver and he's always improving his S2K. If you can narrow the gap to one second on a sixty second course, then you've accomplished a lot.
Sorry Phil, Sorry Steven.

I’m not sure if it’s against forum rules, but if it is, I will understand if this post is removed.
I’m going to shortly be putting my 93 rx7 for sale. The problem is I have very little time of my own since starting the med program at UTEP. Car is located in El Paso. I wanted to post the car here first in hopes that a rx7 fan picks her up from me and treats here as good if not better than I have treated her.
The car is in perfect running condition w/ a/c, power locks/window, etc. . . The car was built and tuned by Steve Kan out of Dallas. The basics are:
streetport, fully reliability mods, power fc, 3mm seals, new set of twins, battery relocation,
Exedy clutch, supra fuel pump, keyless entry and much much more.
Have records dating back to 1993. Pm more for more details if interested.
I’ve put roughly 3000 miles on the new engine w/ 3 months remaining on the warranty. I believe Steve Kan offers extended warranties, I would have to check. The car has never been abused and was broken in properly never going above 2500 rpm during the first 1000 miles; overkill I know. I have changed the oil out every 1000 miles. I’m super **** about my car and the upkeep; perhaps a little overboard but it’s how I am. Car has never gone above 88 degrees Fahrenheit, even during the hottest day of summer in traffic, and has never overheated. During the winter it ranges from 79 - 82 degrees and during the summer it ranges from 84-88 depending on the ambient temp.
I haven’t had the time to enjoy her the way I thought I would. I drive the car 3 days out of the week if I am lucky; the rest of the time its sits under a “car port” fully covered from the weather.
Only issues are the paint on the passenger side door is cracking at the bottom, the passanger side interior handle is broken and the window will not role up or down through the driver side switch. It rolls up/down fine through the passenger side switch.
If you are interested, pm me for price and details. Im negotiable in price by removing certain parts. Thanks for reading and again, if its against forum rules Ill understand if it’s taken down.
