Spotted a red FC looked like a S5 GTU(wierd rims not s5 turbo) maybe GXL in severna park it was real clean and the tag was mounted on the side. I work at benfield shell. Somebody also stopped by my shop and asked if the blue FC out side was for sale(nope) its not mine but a friends and i am waiting on oil cooler lines(he needs to buy them).

 

Does any one know a place near the rockville area can do compression test on rotary engines? my fd sometime is getting hard to start after a ride. Thanks!

probably Tofuball's house

or any mazda dealer would probably have the actual tool to do it.

 

i been to his house once few months ago. haven't get in touch since then. hope i still have his #. but thanks for the suggestion.

I tried calling Congressional(?) when my FD was giving me starting trouble and they had no idea when I asked them about "rotary engine compression testing tool" The guys in service actually transferred me to parts because they thought I wanted to buy one...

I hope you have better luck than I do, although besides Ray Crowe @ Malloy I don't think I'd trust a dealer with anything for the car.

 

last time i saw a black fd was parked at the servers line, but i 100% will not bring my car to them(bad experience with dealers). I been referred to Ray at Malloy too, I actually had bought some stock parts from him when i was doing the auto to manual swap last time. i guess that is the place i will go if cant find any good shop around the area

 

Alot of times the dealers that r a lil newer wont have one because they sold or junked it during the move. u gotta find a dealer thats been in the same location for awhile... like 10to 15yrs. i mean even the 95's r gettin close to 15yrs. so... and to be honest most of the techs at a mazda dealer these days havent worked on one in 10yrs. the dealer i goto know me by first name and ive only bought a few parts but im the only one with an FD... lol u gotta find one with that one old guy thats been a mazda tech for 20yrs and hope he convinced his service manager to save the tester. Im an ASE Master Tech and i dont remember what i worked on 2 yrs ago... lol its gonna take some resaerch and paitence. thats for sure. i goto russel mazda in ellicot city. if u want i can give them a call and see if they have one or if they can at least find one for ya. ill try tomorrow... or should i say later today.

 

hey, i have two fcs(one running, and one i am building on hurt funds) and was wondering when the next meet up is. i saw sunday fudds but when and something about tues ihop. like every week? looking forward to meeting more 7s

 

Thanks for all the info man. a member referred me to PF supercars, I think i will give them a visit sometime before the summer. thanks again!

I like how we're getting people from Rockville finding us AFTER we stopped meeting down there. only 5 years too late :-p

I miss the old IHOP nights.

 

No reason we cant start going to Ihop semi-regularly again.


I think I got enough engine parts to make 3 or 4 nice engines - but I'm out of shells to put them in.

 

S4 or S5? I need to make sure that the rotors in the engine I left in the engine in the van and the rotors in the engine in my shed are balanced.

 

Both.

 

that'll be cool.

 

I'd be up for doing both fudds meets and Ihop over the summer when i am back from school. I should be on the road soon again too i just gotta finish putting my motor back together and start tuning my megasquirt.

 

think you could build a s4 t2 engine ? I may be interested

 

Heh, I have a T2 short block that's been sitting in my dad's garage since I started grad school. My FB needs moar power.

 

Haha, the old ihop meets, god I miss em. Hopefully I'll be rockin my new fd soon.......and......I'm moving back to olney!!! woooo! catch you all soon!

 

Easy.

Do it!

 

Got enough parts to put a turbo on mine? I'm tired of going so damn slow!!

 

Hey Guys Im new to the area, well I actually been here a yr but finally got settled in. I've seen a few guys on the road here and there. Im looking for a running s4 88 n/a to get ready for these delicous roads out in urbana.

 

Welcome, hopefully we will see you at some Fudds meets. I do know where there is a blown S5 vert for $700 if you are interested.

 

sad news, im moving up to nyc soon to work and my parents are making me sell the rx7 because its taking up garage space =[

 

What exactly are you looking for? My N/A FC is an S5 but may fit your requirements.

 

how much would you be selling it for?
