That event sounds good. We can make a train of 7's going up the highway.
We should meet up locally before then. I went to G-force Karts this weekend. That place may make a good place to meet.

I'd be down for a get together...

On a side note, I may be delaying the purchase of the GC/AGX combo, there's a group buy for the Microtech LT8 EMS that's going on that I am going to hop in on. Atleast this way I don't ever have to worry about running lean!

It's the first weekend so they figure they can make some extra money.

I will most likely be there either day you all decide.

Racing Beat Exhaust and FCD will be in Gloucester next week, probably Monday or Tuesday. I am going home the weekend of the 21st to put it on and get it started....hopefully. Anyone that wants to do the drive is welcome to tag along.

Well a new update on the S/C install,time for a motor! We got it back together today and took it for a test run(me and my buddy rob S14onair) well all was going well it was to tempting to see what it had and was running rich as hell so i nailed it leaving from a little store we have here and it pulled hard very hard,starting bogging and i think i hit fuel cut but not sure(wasnt paying attention to tach) i have a FCD that is still sitting in my shed floor which i should of hooked up to begin with but i knew it wasnt going to last long anyway with 146,000 miles.Well we pulled up at the school and checked everything out then started back home,well rob said if it was my car so we pulled out of the school and gave it all it had and BOOM she blew i dont know what happened but pretty sure it hit fuel cut i let out the clutch and nailed it and it just smoked the tires then went to shift into 2nd and it gave out big cloud of smoke and a loud boom,got my bro to bring the truck and take it home,then rob said "at least he went like every man wants to go,being blown(boost)" well its back to the project im going to miss autox,but maybe i can drive my dads car a couple of times this year,i should have my car back up and running by mid summer but in the meantime its working overtime and selling RX7 parts.The car ran great until then it was very strong i mean awesome i never felt power that strong and smooth with no real torque,never jerked you around but just smooth raw power,i cant wait to do it again(the boost part not the BOOM part).

Damn dave, that sucks. It is good about the pineapple engine though. Something to REALLY look forward to. How are you going to get this one tuned? Is there anywhere around here that can do it? After all that work that will be involved I would not mess around with someone doing a half *** job.

Here are some pics of the tii as it sat about two weeks ago. Since then I have put everything back except the battery and ps belt. I can't find a few parts that go to the idler pulley. Does anyone have an extra bolt that holds the a/c idler pulley on as well?!

well, it still won't let me post any pics...

sounds like you just about done rob,i will probably tow it somewhere up north and have it tuned and dynoed i will do this one right i really didnt care about the motor i knew it wasnt going to last long anyway and rather had it blow while i was playing around,instead of going to work then id really be pissed.Hopefully someone will buy rosen and keep the dyno open,we just need a shop closer to home that knows how to tune.the closest i found was in woodbridge that has a dyno,but they are crazy on the prices.

is it TII specific? if not, (which i dont see why it would) ill look in my dad's collection. he kept everything from when is motor blewup. i can check for ya.

that does suck about blowing the motor, but atleast it went out when you were ******* around like you said.
