No, George's car is a touring if I remember correctly - leather and no wing.

I'm Phil - the other red FD in LA. I did some autox several years ago...before the kid came along. I was never very good. Doubt I'll race the new one. Maybe on track if I have a chance, but I hate those damn cones!

 

Does anybody know of any good rotary tuners in new mexico? Probly ALB im guessing is the best bet. Phoenix is a litte far to drive just to tune a car lol and any good engine builders too?? Thanks

 

Sean, Rx7OnFire, is well known. There is also a company, Solid Tech, who will do them. I've heard good things, but they were all second hand.

 

I 2nd that suggestion!!!

 

So....I am driving down Montano, when my clutch is no longer pressured. (I changed the slave cylinder back in may) I pulled over. checked around the slave and master cylinder no leaks that I could see. so...I checked master, was below min. so I filled it. Drove car again, however it doesnt feel right. Is there a correct way to fill it? something I have to do? pls let me know asap

 

Yeah, when you fill it you're going to need to bleed it just like brakes. If you need more explanation then ask. Otherwise I assume you can bleed your slave/master.

 

more info pls. My dad bled them for me, hes out hunting so I need help.

 

Try this thread. It's got most of the required info in it. Although it is for a first gen, shouldn't be much difference.

I'm gonna tell you right now that you could probably get a better tune in phoenix... I had Sean at solidtech tune my car and she is way too rich. Car wont even run until it reaches full operating temp, I get hesitation a lot etc.. It's frustrating really, I'm gonna have andy at racefab do my retune when I get a bigger map sensor and up the boost. Andy has always been good and he knows a lot more about the rotary. I'll let you know how he does!

 

I'm not saying Sean at solid is a bad tuner, he's probably one of the best in nm, but when it comes to rotarys....

 

hey guys im interested in meetin some of these rx fans in albuquerque i just bought my 85 fb need some advice tho ne way if u guys are serous about a car club let me know im really interested in joining

 

Well it'd certainly be interesting to meet you in person haha. Throw up some pics of the girl and let us know what you need, we'll try and help out where we can. Where we can't, there's a whole subsection dedicated to first gens.

 

for sure ill post some pics up asap

 

Thanks for the input! Would definatly like to hear how your tune goes with andy. I still have to source out a good 13b-re engine. I hope i can just drop one in but more than likely i will be rebuilding it and going with a single turbo setup.

 

I also have an 85 FB man! Hit me up sometime. And come on Sunday to the Duke City Rotary meet and phottoshoot. I'm the only FB member there and we are open to new members.

 

Hey man, if you can get a hold of Andy to tune your car you should post it here. I need to heckle him because I know him at work and we just haven't been able to connect on times.

 

Don't listen to this tool.


jk mikes cool and like he said, get with him and you guys can have a 1st gen circle

also installing new clutch, turns out the fluid was leaking from tranny

 

I won't be able to drop the cash on a retune until early next year however. My car is gonna be down for a while getting coils, wheel spacers, gilmer belt, new wp housing + bigger map sensor. I'm trying to squeeze paint in there too lol... always something.

 

now that the wifes car getting fixed back to the greddy fmic and the carbon creations front bumper (thank you Sean B. for the hook up) upgrade on the fd ill post a few pics on my progress this weekend oh and i have to get that exhaust from you david to finish the exhaust upgrade.....then off to paint it goes in spring wwwhhhoo!

 

making a clearing


Alum Tabs added for Oil line


Aftermarket parts pulled


whats going in mmmmm INTER-COOLER


and carbon fiber bumper

 

That bumper looks gooood. Still got the Dual N1 waiting for you when you're ready. I will say this, you need to get an aluminum AST. When my plastic one popped it was instantaneous and just fortuitous that it was only 1 block from the house on the way home. Shooting water 4 feet in the air looks cool, but it'd be a royal pain if it doesn't happen in the drive way.

 

I cruised my 7 all week as a daily this week. Good times!

 

Hi all, I have been watching this thread while I was between 7s. I live in Taos. I'm ready to dig in now!

I just got my 1980 project. The body is great -sweet. The guy who sold her to me's dad does body work and he did a fresh paint job. He put new rubber on the pavement, and sold it to me. Everything is stock (it's automatic.. I'm dealing) I want to name her Smooth, but she's not worthy. The list is long. I just want a slick daily driver.

First I had to adjust both the brake and gas pedals... Now I need to bleed the brakes.

I've tried to find something posted about accessing the rear brake bleed nipple. I have loosened all the other sites, but of course it doesn't matter if I can't do the rear. lying on the ground on my back I can't get a wrench on it. Do I need to jack it up? use a special tool? get double jointed elbows? Is this simple and I have a mind block?

 

glad too have you in the family welcome!!! there is a lot of RC knowledge that can get you threw this I have not done this work unfortunately but there are few who have

 

cool can't wait to get it....but no water fountains out of my car!!!

have you got a AST Brand name in mind????
