Hey guys,

Sorry about the lack of attendance with the meets and whatnot. I've had a busy work/school schedule this semester. Hopefully things will let up in a couple of weeks.

Still no progress on the car. I did manage to sell the exhaust though, which is a nice way to earn some bucks. I think I'm gonna hold off on buying more parts now and just install what I have then see what happens money-wise.

Anyways, I'll check back when I can.

Autocross yesterday at ACU-4 was pretty good. There were 3 first gens there, Jimdog, Carl Stone, and mine. We all ran in CSP, but Shawn Lambert and Ed Raymundo spanked us pretty good in the Miata that a few of you may have seen win the time attack its first time out at the Extreme Sports Wednesday at Langley Speedway a month or so ago. Results are here:

we were all in CSP.

Thanks to everyone for comming to the meet at AIK Saturday night. The turnout of people was pretty good. It was a hot night racing the karts, literally. I was extremely sweatty after finishing like I had never been there before. Hot and humid was the ticket for the night.

We had some new faces there and some cars we had not seen before. Unfortunately we all parked in amoungst the other cars rather than out were we could get good pictures. I have a couple of camera-phone shots that I will post when I get a chance.

Pretty good weekend for RX7 stuff.

 

hey i was wondering if anyone else was intersted in getting their car tuned in the month of August by BDC Brian Cain in Raleigh (6 hour drive), NC or Steve Kan in Wilmington, DE (4 hour drive)
i know steve kan can tune mostly all EMS like power fc haltech, microtech, etc.
brian can tune haltech but not sure about the rest
it would be nice if we could have a group drive somewhere with all the 7's

 

HELP JERRY Or anyone . Im looking for the plastic spacer that goes under the small fuel rail , must be a 2nd or 3rd gen car . DOES anyone have one locally??? This is holding up my getting the 3rd gen up and running

Thanks in advance

I am taking a Turbo II motor from my other car and putting it in my Race car , The motor should be out by the end of the week , I have to put on the LIM / UIM and all the outer stuff , but should be racing in 2 weeks ( keeping my fingers crossed )

Hey guys, I found a pristine condition 10AE for sale locally. I thought about buying it.

No Kenny, I'm not telling you where it is. :P Ya damn 7 horde.

 

I saw...

 

So you will have your car done by the 26th? (that is wednesday after next) Will Matt and Stewey also be ready? If so.... then, this will be a great night for us all to go....

 

replyed bud

yoshi take pics of it .

 

Hay is it cool for me to crash your rx-7 meet??

 

The meets are in public places most of the time. All we look for is people with interest in rotary cars.

 

OK guys Im thinking about coming down on the 26th. Ill let you know for sure next week. Who is gonna be there?

Johny

 

so you gunna do Langley on the 26th?

 

Well asthetically, the bolts/screws won't look too bad and they'll only be visible when the headlights are up. Here's a few pics of the assembly:
from the top


This side is in direct contact with the cover. I circled where I'd put 2 bolts/screws


This side has a gap between the cover and the assembly so I'd need a long screw/bolt


This is the cover:


I'd prefer to use bolts vs screws because I think bolts would hold better. However I don't know if I'll be able to put everything back together if I use bolts and have to reinsert the guts with the cover on.

 

No I prefer a grassy runoff and Tire wall to a concrete wall. So the answer is no.


Johny
