Oil Spider to Throttle Body vacuum line. I took it off to remove the manifold and it was stuck on there pretty good, I must have upset 20 years worth of suction. I just ziptied it and it's been staying on. If I take the manifold off again I will make sure to replace that line.

hey gen, your right about 3rd gens being big money.
anyways befor you leave you need to drive my car. i drove a 3rd gen today that was stock. guess what i felt like my car handled better minus the fact my springs are really stiff but ie feels rough on shitty roads but i felt like i could turn better then a stock fd. i need some one who has a fd to let me drive there car, and ill let them driv emy car so we can compare notes. iam not knocking fd's guys its just that i feel with all the mods ive done i got a edge over a stock fd.
now if i can get my car in to stock fd power rang (t04b turbo will do it and then some lol) iam going to have a really bad *** rx7.
hey does any one know how to mix bondo. i had a really hard time today trying it on . the can said for a 3 inch circle 3/4 thick use 2.5 to 3 inch strip of hardener. i had a 3 inch dim cup so i filler it 3/4 deep. added about 2.75 inch strip of hardener and it be came rock hard before i could i go to the part. ie a 25 ft walk. i mixed it in my house and was walking out to my car tent. i tried less little less hardener and it just made a puddle and never did any thing when i put it on a part. so if any one know how to mix bondo and want to show me what iam doing wrong we could hang out ill buy you beer and food and make a day of it.

Thanx, I am looking for a silver or a black 3rd gen, it would be great to find either a stock, virgin car. Or a tastefully moded car, not big on the "shogun" or "drift" body effects.

its lighter and smaller than an FD so im sure it handles great... once my FD is up and running we'll go for a run ben see whats what.
so i figured out 95% of the wiring in my FD except for ONE PLUG and i CANNOT figure out where it goes... im so annoyed with it... its a huge ******* plug too... that ONE plug is holding up putting the interior back together too.......

Been a long time sitting in the bleachers, ready to jump in the pool. But I am new to rotary engines. I am actually even considering buying a roller, and rebuilding the engine, with reliability mods, over the winter.
Winters can be so long . . . it would be reason to get out of bed on the weekends, instead of under the covers, hibernating.

ive got to be honest with you, i think your better off looking for an FC... they're a ton simpler, a lot easier to work on and parts are FAR more easy to get your hands on...
considering the reported 202,027 FC's out there to the 13,879 FD produced in all three years of production in the US, the FC is by far a better choice when buying your first RX-7... mostly just ease in which parts are available, secondly working on an FC is MUCH easier than an FD, its much less complicated and the engine bay itself is much more accessible.

yeah FCs are the ****, but then again FDs are more the ****. I would prefer to have both, an FC for the old school and an FD to kick some *** at everything it does.
