I spent all evening in anticiapation of winning a set of 13B-RE Cosmo manifolds on eBay. They went up $200 in like, one minute though. I was crushed. So now I'm back to using the FD manifold. Still looks hot, has the bigger TB, nice elbow pipe, etc. The really great thing is though, that I might actually be back on the road and driving my car within the next few months. yey!

 

Who is going to be at the Dec 19th autocross at Fairfeild Commons?
I pick up my new water pump today so I should be able to make it.

jayson - i JUST pulled some bridgestone potenza's off a sc 430 (245/40/18) that still have fairly decent tread on them. the owner is only replacing them because they have a little wear on the inside edge, and he wanted new tires for winter. let me know. they are only getting thrown away if you dont want them.

oh yea, they arent the REALLY nice potenza's. they are runflats as well

edit: give me a call at 647-9824 and ill save them for you

 

The wheels look pretty sweet, but 18" is gonna be too big for an FC...just doesn't look right.

Speaking of wheels, does anyone have any advise on where to buy 16"x9" or 16"x10" wheels? (for the GTU)

 

Well I'm going to stick one on the car for ***** and giggles, but I'm pretty sure they aren't gonna work out. Too eBay they shall go.

As far as wheels, you should have said something last week. Some 15x 10 and 15 x 12 with new Hoosiers just went on eBay for $800.


Mike - THanks for the find.

 

i can get a new crate 13b motor from a mazda dealership for 2100 . But then i will need someone to put the damn thing in . or u just might get a j-spec t2 and do the conversion but yet again im still gonna need someone that knows about roterys to help woth the wiering

 

zach i was also wondering if you could send me a membership form for the rrr club my email addy is newtype_design@yahoo.com

 

if you do the T2 conversion don't forget you'll need the T2 ECU, tranny, and I'm not sure but possibly the rear differnetial as well
If you come down to the autcross Sunday you can see how fast an NA can be
(Zach's car not mine)

 

autox this sunday? where?

you get those tires jayson? you think they will work?

 

Autox with VMSC on Sunday. Saturday is a NASA event. W00t back to back autox. My car should be ready. Fixing the last thing tomorrow, then alignment on Friday. w00tarzzz!!

where are you guys meeting so that i can come and take a look and meet everyone ?

 

AAAARRRGG They just cancelled the Sunday event for VMSC Sunday, DAMNIT!!

 

check out www.vmsc.org
generally at VMP down in Dinwiddie

 

Sure did. THANKS A TON!

I did some checking..the sectional tread width of a 245 is 9.65 inches...should be ok. Next time Caddy is down there, I'm gonna get him to hook you up for hooking me up.

 

Aww, shucks.

 

YAY my new water pump is in, well looks like I can afford the RB swaybar and spring package plus a set of Tokico Illuminas - yay Xmas bonus!

 

Damnit, I'm ready to send my trim and bumpers off for paint, but I forgot I need the DS trim piece.
Jayson, did you do the S5 conversion? I asked before, but do you have what I need?

I'll pay the person who finds me a trim piece One Million Dollars.

In Monopoly money.

 

Oh yeah, does anyone know of a good thread for carbin' a second gen? I'm curious about the ignition setup n stuff.

 

Only info I've got is the RB catalog, it has some tips in it but thats about it.
It'd be fun if we could get a really good contingency of RX-7's showing up at the
VMSC events next year. Rob, the guy with the TII, is definetly hooked.

 

I've got a full set of white S5 trim. Problem is, I cannot find the black S5 door trim for my car. I'm going to look for them one last time this weekend and if I cannot find them, I am going ot have to paint and use the white ones. I'll let you know whats up.

Also, let me look for my carb FC info. Early Euro FC's had distributors, but the 12A dizzy also works pretty well.

 

ive also heard the 12a dizzy works. people also use the 12a dizzy when doing megasquirt setups.

definately wait till after winter to carb anything, it BLOWS ***... trust me.

 

My cold idle is totally off, is it going to act this psycho all winter?
It's continually bouncing back and forth between 1000 rpm and 3000 rpm in the space of about 2 seconds.
Thoughts anyone?

 

Update:
Well I went home for lunch and actually read the Haynes manual. I reset the cold idle and adjusted the throttlebody idle screw so it idles better than ever before - at least while it's hot. Guess I'll see if I adjusted the cold idle when it's time to leave work.
This was WAY easier than expected.

 

might want to check the T.P.S.

 

anyone need any parts? I have a 87 TII white with blue int. everything is going except the drivetrain which is going in my vert. Has some old style elite wheels 16" with decent tires for $250 TII hood for $120 has light hail damage, blue seats mall tear on drivers side but not bad $50 complete sunroof,motor works but is sluggish $50
