Moved the 225's up front to replace the 205's and threw some 245's in the rear. Sits like a beast, I'll try and get a picture tomorrow.

 

Well, I'm in a bunch of snow here, and I am jealous as hell that you guys can meet. Some warm summer day I'll make it down from Taos.

I too have starting issues and am homing in on the very affordable consideration of my wires... Have you changed yours lately?

It's too cold here to hope for much, and I just got my Cali car (didn't think to look at purchase time) with NO subzero starting system. I found out that if it does NOT come factory installed, it does NOT retrofit. (Carb intakes?) I'm in a dreadful HOLD position. Until I figure out -0 stuff I have a 3 season car. (I want a daily driver).

 

We've not had anything but a quick fluff one night a week ago. Since then it's been nothing but freezing temperatures and blizzard-like winds with nothing to show for it other than a rising gas bill :/

Side note; I forgot to take a picture. I mean i did take one of the car because i thought it looked cool, but it's a bit too far away to actually show how big the tires are now compared to how they were. I'll post it anyways:

Ignore the premade filter :3

 

Justin,
gotta say, I like the bigger tires! are they the same wheels? I checked out your album, but can't see in the new pic. I REALLY like your old (same?) wheels.

 

Yeah they're the same wheels, i just put bigger meat on them. It's got a really aggressive look going for it now, now all i need to do is figure out why one wheel has negative camber but the other is straight up and down. If i can get that sorted out it'd look sick

I've got that missing hubcap in the mail, it flew off on a hard mountain pass corner xD

 

Alright, Oil Filter housing is leaking. Easy fix? Looking on mazdatrix for part.

 

I COULD resort to ebay, but I'm gonna try to reach out to NM enthusiasts first. It finally hit 40º outside! and time to get under my girl to bleed the brakes and change the fuel filter… my first use of the … WAIT! NO JACK! I even wrote to the guy who sold her to me (he had more than 1 RX7 on his property). No score.

Anyone out there have an extra stock scissors jack (a lug wrench would be sweet too) they want to sell for cheap? and ship to Taos? It would really be a breakthrough.

I have been delighted that my hubby (who doesn't like to work on cars) has been quite amused fussing over my "Smooth". Instead of arguing over the needy 4 wheel project, we're cooperating! Now we're STUCK.

 

You could always go to Harbor Freight and buy a nice one that you can use for any vehicle, they're not too expensive. especially if you catch one in one of the 20 sales they have each week xD

 

From Taos, Harbor Freight is a day trip. Thanks for the thought...

BTW that's a first gen Jack that I''m praying for!

 

well I 'm finally done with this project time to post to my website, all i need now is turn signal lights and corner lights........ wow that was a puzzle to figure out but well worth it now with the new look, now on to the exhaust upgrade .


Here is what you do if you using the stock bumper the best cut for full air intake


finished look 1


fro the side


piping connected


radiator connected witha fabricated bracket to hold the radiator and some black paint makes it disappear

 

looks great aaron! I wanna see it in person sometime

 

Car looks good. I could have sold you a RP radiator for cheap and you could have junked that plastic one. Anyway car looks good and so does that Z.

 

Real nice job Aaron! Love that bumper

 

you got it soon as i upgrade the apexi exhaust i'll driver her around some

 

thank you, hey i do need a new radiator cause the upper connector is slowly cracking

 

thanks guys i really apprecate it

 

Hi all, sorry to butt in, just wanted to introduce myself. Charlie, from Clovis. Anyone out here on the NM thread from Clovis too? Anyways, this is actually my GF's ride, haha, but we take good care of her together! '94 Touring, manual, 70K, still bone stock.

Nice looking New Mexico rotaries you guys have, love the flat black FC! I'm gonna have to come back and read the whole thread sometimes. I miss Albuquerque, used to live there. Are there any reputable rotary mechanics/shops in the metro area? There's definitely nothing here in Eastern NM..

 

yeah we have some good mechanics here...glad your on board welcome....your ride looks good

 

The radiator I have is from Rotary Performance. It is the 33% upgraded one. If you are interested let me know. Also if anyone is looking for a new intake for the stock twins I have a apexi intake laying around.

 

hey guys i kno that i dont come on here that often but wonderin who all goes to sandia to autocross. their is a few ppl out here that want to head out there to have some fun when the track opens just wondering if any of u guys are interested.

 

I've always wanted to. Car is in no shape atm though. Once i get some coils, the new motor, and a new front diff mount I'll be down there running her for sure. Hopefully that'll be this summer sometime.
