aw that FD is pure sexxxxxx....Guys, not sure if my belts or my pulleys make noise when I am in 1,2, gear(every now and then) should I just change them all out?

 

Done and done lol. Couldn't handle the wheel gap anymore so I got some 1 inchers for the front and rear. Just as a temp until I can afford cool kid wheels. And thank you for the kind words.



Fo real! What are your plans now?

 

Is it a squeak? Try looking at the pullies to see if any of them wobble. This will cause a belt squeak. If no wobbling, try taking each belt off one by one and driving it (all except for the alternator belt cuz that **** won't run too long without it). Once the squeal goes away, you'll know which belt is causing it.

 

I wouldn't take each belt off you make cause more damage trying to drive it...I would goto autozone get some belt spray to quite the noise of the belts one by one soon as you find the bad belt you can replace it, if its still squeaking then you know its the pullies which has bearings that have dried out there is but a few pullies. It can be most of the time its a water pump pullie or the alternator

 

You can remove the A/C, P/S, and air pump belts and go for a quick test drive and not damage anything. I promise. As long as your alternator and water pump belt is still on you'll be fine. But yea the spray stuff will work sometimes as long as you spray each belt or pulley individually to find the cause.

 

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry Aaron, but belt spray is GARBAGE. Abosulutely worthless product that is nothing more than a bad band-aid. Taking the belts off on at a time is not going to hurt anything, just DO NOT take the water pump belt off. A Three minute drive with no water pump is BAD! But, replacing all the belts is not a bad idea, either. Rotaries generate so much heat under the hood that alll the rubber gets baked in a short period of time. I replace my belts YEARLY. And dont use anything but Goodyear or OEM Mazda belts.

 

Oh no I'm glad you are helping out I'm still green on the Rotorie Engines. Still adjusting from piston motors to Rotory techniques.

 

Yeah belt conditioner is crap... makes the squeek worse... id juss do wat seans says
.easiest way

 

thats a will do. I was thinking about a carbon fiber hood as well. Not so much for looks but to kinda cool down the engine bay.

 

Anyone here happen to have a s4 tII rotor that that they may want too sell me?

 

If you haven't done so already get rid of the stock exhaust manifold and replace it with a wrapped or ceramic coated header. This will significantly lower engine bay temps and give you an extra few HP across most of the powerband.

 

Not to mention the sound.

 

where can i find this replacement?????where do you guys recommend i go??

 

RX7 1986-1992: Exhaust - Headers: Streetable Header - 86-92 RX-7 NT -

 

I've got the RB collected header and the RB presilencer. PM me for price and fitment details if interested.

 

I really liked that orange FD, great color. Makes me want to really get my FD on the road. Also who has the nice red FC in Los Lunas?

 

Idk about nice but that would be me

 

Red with black rims? If that was you I saw your car from a distance, but it looked good. I know it looked better then my FD does right now.

 

Thanks... thatll be me... it looks good from a mile away lol

 

Well guys picked up my LS1 today. The build is starting. Going to rebuild the motor so it is perfect and throw a few upgrades in.

 

Hope it all comes together nicely. Good luck.

 

Lenny the car looks great. Glad to see my motor went to good use, looked really nice in the pic's.

 

Well I was approved to have the 15th and 16th off for the no coast drift event. I will be out getting my photography on for you guys!

 

I was shocked to see a clean white RX 3 on Montgomery today. Car looked great. Does anyone know who this is? Next time we have a meet we need to invite that guy. I would love to get a closer look at it, and some pic's.

 

Thanks James! she's running quite well. Glad to see you finally got that LS1. Lookin forward to seeing your car progress and hit me up if you need a hand!
