Woah ****... where the hell were you at when all this happened? I won't ask you anything else since you said you don't wanna go into it... but the "where" would probably help other people.

Sorry to hear about the break-in.

monchie01 you want to buy some 89 coupe tails for that thing. I have some because the coupe tails don't fit the vert. You could even slap a hks sticker on them if you think someone missed it the first time.

whoa... that was kinda creepy

called summit to price out some guages and some switch panels to replace what was taken out of the RX7...

dude asked me what type of car it was for ... when i said 1986 RX7 with a chevy smallblock in it ... he's like "i have one of those too, which cradle did you use ... the granny's one?"

only someone with a V8-7 or someone interested in building one would know that

he has a bunch of the parts im gonna need to get my car all fixed up ...

talk about coincidences


i'm pretty dead set that im keeping the car ... gonna make it even better than before...

We COULD also try tuning for 13.8:1, that might get you to 9000 rpms at like 80-85% duty cycle with the mods... I mean right now we are trying for 13.2:1

Also, lets do a 2nd-3rd gear full throttle pull tonight on the highway... and do some higher-rev low-load driving too... so we can re-tune the higher parts of your map... I want to see what full throttle is like under slower acceleration than 1st gear gives us.

Also, keep in mind that we're not too sure about your fuel pressure since going around left turns still causes problems.... you might have low pressure, in which case, we'd need wider pulse widths/higher duty cycles than usual.
you should get some TII injectors

We're not sure if its the fuel pressure or the injectors that are causing this problem... or to reword, we might not need them...

PM me your phone number so we can hook up and get **** sorted out ... i'll buy ALL that stuff

ideally i'd like you to come out to crash test joey's one day with me (thats where the car is right now) and look at everything thats ruined in the car

that way i know im getting the right pieces etc

there's other stuff that i'd like to get my hands on thats not neccessarily a result of the break in ... like the vents that are falling apart and a cracked bin lid...etc

HOLY CRAP! I've been in Ocean City the last week and missed like 40 something pages. Anyways, good news. My life has been turned back to good luck mode. I can know say I have a beautiful girlfriend, my 7 is running again, I have a legal license again. And the del sol is fixed and ready to be sold (still 5k). And I got a mechanic job in easton making 17 an hour.

So my question is now, is it too early to be making plans for 7 stock? So people that need to take off werk can't complain. And maybe we can make the trip to my homeland (south Cali) together?
