i forgot one thing. when i called my mom to tell her i blew my engine she said "you probably threw a rod or something" that was kind of funny to me. i still miss my car though.

 

I cant beleive how many blow their engines, I rag the hell out of my car and keep breaking the tranys and diffs, but the engine keep going except for a oil leak on the front cover.

 

Hope I didn't just jinx myself.

 

what gen car you have man? cause if you have a 86 se.i got a motor here still ran when i pulled it out. 187,000 miles... $100.00 its yours. good luck with repairing her . cause mine also is down.... but a few more parts and ill be able to drive her again soon.

 

Monty, I was very busy since I got back from VIR and was not able to get up with you and Kenny.

Anyone interested in that FD the guy has for sale in Richmond? He is giving everyone a last chance before he sends it to a body shop for some small things and a repaint and an equal increase in price. Here is the link to info if you are interested:

Well, I thought I was gonna get a hookup on a paintjob, but it fell through. Looks like I'm goin to maaco.

Calvin, I'll be coming by to pick up parts around the 9th. Let me know what works for you. Hey, and let me know if you've got something worked out to fix fc calipers to a fb rear axle. My brother is parting out his 90 GLX(i think that's what it is), and I want to steal his brakes instead of trying to hunt down -se calipers if I can avoid it.

20B3rdGen: Did you get my pm from a week or so ago? I'm pretty sure I remember sending one. Anyways, I know you said you work on tuning efi cars, buuut, is there any way we could work something out sometime where we could hook up a wideband just so I can get some idea of where I stand on tuning without having to spend a large amount of money I dont have for my own wideband? Thanks.

 

Calvin, Looks like an excellent weekend I wish we could ge half that many Rx7s to show up at a meet. I took a couple pics befor the 4th of July parade

 

Dale Blnkenship is the person to talk to at Maaco. He is a good guy and is on the Hampton Roads site.

I haven't worked out the details of the rear brakes yet, but If you get close I will try to hurry up with my development efforts on the rear. If your brother does part out his 90, get the brakes of of it. I can probably work it out a couple of different ways for you. If his car has the small '90 brakes (is it 4 bolt or 5 bolt wheels?) you might be able to use your old rotors. If not then I know how it will still work.

The SAAC event was huge Johny. I was really impressed, and everone else I have talked to from Florida, to Canada thinks it is the best event ever on the east coast, so there is good possibility that it will happen here again in a few years. They sort of rotate the event around the country. They are talking about the new Miller Motorsports Park next year, then probably somewhere around Dearborne, MI, then probably west coast or northeast, then maybe back here.

This link has my pictures of the SAAC event if anyone is interested.

its an 88 gxl and i may have to take you up on that offer. i have 3 engines at my house. the blown one, a blown one i got from jerry just to take apart, and the one in my S5 thats is going to be rebuilt soon haha. let me see what all we are going to do because i jsut got it home today (limped it home on one rotor =( ), but it sounds like a good deal to me.

 

pm sent man
the motor has no leaks. comprestion is still good on her and i kept up with all the oil changes on it. the motor would still be in my car if i didnt get the speed bug.....

hey project r13b

how much for one of the blown engines... if you dont mind id actually like to break one down before i buy it i only have on spar housing and dont want an engine with both housings scarred

 

Im sorry I didnt respont yet, been very busy lately. I do have the abillity to log and tune carbs. I can log RPM's, A/F ratios, exhaust temp, manifold air pressure and acceleration. You need to have a O2 bung on your downpipe. If you dont have a bung on your exhaust I can weld one on, or any muffly shop can do it. You will have to remove the downpipe to drill and weld it. You will need to have several jets available to tune the low(idle jet), mid and high loads(main jet). This takes some time to do properly, but I will check what days I have off and we can try to get together. I would prefer to get together up here in Newport News.

 

Damn son GO TO BED . All your post are well after Midnight, hahahahah

No wonder you cant make it over here untill 4 pm on a good day , hahahahahah

 

Hey guys , thought I'd post here before I go looking any farther . Im looking for a right side front fender and it needs to be in great shape and be in red. I know thats alot to ask for , but I thought I'd give it a try . Please pm me if you have any leads

Thanks in advance

 

Hey guys, good evening. i have great news i got my car running and i will be bringing it to the meet starting next month if thats ok with yall.

Maddie

 

i got my job at the advance here in poquoson and i take my drug test tommorow

 

Sweet. Make sure you know all about drugs when you take that test.

 

My dad works at advanced here by sears, pay isnt great, but you get a pretty good discount on parts. and honetly, who doenst like a good deal on parts and such especially as much oil as we use haha.

 

I worked for Advance a few years ago ----dont ask ---,but he discount is always nice , but watch what parts you buy from them . I dont thnk I would buy any major engine components from them . I'd stick to the oil , filters , and batteries, ????????????

VA

 

ok 20B3rdgen , its about 1 hr before you make a post , hahahahah

 

Looks like I posted be for midnight. When you work all day, the only time I have to look at the forums is at night.

 

I just got one FD3S housing in the mail today. Two more and I will have enough exhaust sleeves put put into my 20B. If any one here has a bad 3rd gen housing laying around I just need the exhaust sleeves from them, but I'll take the the whole house if you dont want to remove the sleeves.

 

LOL, when?? Back when both of us were in high school?

 

i wouldnt buy rotary parts from them. my accords water pump and head gasket are still ok haha. they do have a very crappy performance section though haha.

 

I have bought some engine parts from the... I bought eccenric shaft seals, and lots of idler arm bushings, and .... I dunno what else, but all had the exact same markings as the Mazda ones I got from Atkins or Hayes, and they were sometimes in the same boxes as the Mazda ones.

I admit I would still go with "rotary shops" for internal engine stuff, but I can't point to anything I have been unpleased with from Advance. Which Advance are you working at Ren?
