Thanks but finally found another one

 

Welcome back. San Antonio cool. Some of the branch's dont allow you to bring you're vehicle for a while. You on a ship or land?(by ship i mean are you training to go to one)

 

I am just here for my Aschool. then I find out where my first command is

 

Ahhhh Nice. What are you going to A school for? I went ET. Bit diff than the navy ET but same concept

 

I think I can hear some crickets roaming around in here....Lol

 

Anyone up for a meet, say June 5?

I would so go I didnt make plans on going to PA for some campingness

 

I'll be there.

 

so what everyone up too? Yall are pretty quiet lately lolz

 

autocrossing, rallycrossing, maintenence on 5 cars and a motorcycle, buying a house, getting married, and raising a 3 month old

what are you up to? lol

 

^dams. Ur very busy. Me not too much. Try to fix up my 90 tsi awd. Try to finish my fuel injection on the 7. Working on cars. try to find a GF. Not much lol

 

Dam dude your really busy... When did you have a kid? Congrats though dude. I guess its just been sooo long since I have been able to do anything in MD or even been in Maryland that I am really outta the Rx7 scene.

I have been basically living at Pennstate trying to finish up my BS in Mechanical Engineering and then hopefully getting my Masters. Right now I am taking summer classes to speed things up. Kinda sucks but my seven is current still down. When I come home later in June for 3 weeks I am gunna try to put it all back together.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he had it 3 months ago.

 

I need to take notes from you. How are you able to go autox and rallyx with a newborn, house hunting and wedding plans?

 

I'm gonna go further out on that limb and say that unless he paid for certain medical procedures in Thailand, that he didn't have it.

 

you guys are sharp

A very understanding wife and a very good 3 month old...

as for the house, it's already hunted, we close in a month and are currently leasing it. We did the hunting while my wife was 7-8 months pregnant lol

the wedding... well I'm not doing most of that

I'm also not autocrossing as much as I used to... but the corolla has gotten even faster but it has street tires now...

 

Does anyone know how to mod/tune a Nikki carb? I would like to learn.

 

might as well buy the RB street port holley and intake. Youll spend more time trying to tune it than it owuld be worth while to buy something made for the 12a

 

a lot of people don't like the holley... especially for autocross... apparently it doesn't handle turns very well and is not very responsive.

 

The reason why they dont handle turns is because the way the floats are positioned. Race floats work very well. And the response part is ppl are not tunning them properly. A good tuned holley runs very well. It just takes a good amout of tunning to get it to work right. Or just go FI like me though its taking me a while to do lolz

 

The Nikki is made for the 12a

Why waste the money to buy a Holley when I would still have to tune it?

 

Have you ever seen how small the stock intake ports are on the 12A intake manifold? My thumb is bigger. No matter what you do to that nikki you will always be restricted by the intake. Makes no sence to mod something only to have everything youve done be for nothing because you can not outflow the intake. To me it makes more sence to get something made to work pretty well with the 12A. You can also look int IDA or IDF. I saw some IDA for sale on criags for like 200. Shoulda picked them up. Anyway theres my .02. Keep in mind that what you do to the 12a ur not gonna get max performance. When i get the FI done ill take you for a spin. Pretty sure she will SCREAM when shes done

 

Thanks for the info! Looks like a great shop, I just sent them an email.

 

Ya Michael closed up UPR... He did said he would continue out of his own place.
