Kenny,
Those look great. In you DVA post, you said stuff about stripping the original powder - what had happened to it? I was under the impression that powdercoating was rather permenant.
Anywho, I need to get off my *** and finish bead blasting my AC Schnitzers and get them to you sometime.....

hahaha They were black already , but in rough shape . Road rash was pretty hard on these rims , but I cleaned them up a bit and they turned out great . Just let me know when you r ready

 

I'll probably be there from 8-9, Buzzer usually comes down too

 

Signed. I thought I was the only one who thought they played 18 hours of nascar, 4 hours of commercials, then 2 hours of everything else.

 

All signatures appreciated....I'm sure it won't do a damn bit of good, but at least it helps me vent.











IF anyone is looking for a place to live, or know of a mature responsible CLEAN person who is, hit me up!!!!! $425/mo, modern house in Glen Allen, paved driveway and garage, utilites included.

 

Sup fellers? Hope everyone is doing well; I haven't been on here in a while.

Anyone racing this year?

The GTU is ready, but I'm working on getting it to the track (truck & trailer). I can't go another year like last year with hardly any track time.

As far as work, I've picked up a position of less stress, but I travel all over the state, so I'm gone most of the week. If I play my cards right, I'll be at more track events, in whatever car I can get there.

 

i just have a question for you guys would i have to get a engine managment system to do a jdm swap ?

 

Check the VMSC forums and you'll see VMP may or may not be available THIS YEAR. Jon Felton has found a pretty good new site AND so consequently I belong to both NASA and VMSC this year. I'm looking forward to running NASA's event on Feb 18th at VIR.

 

Hey guys, do you all know a place to get the compression checked on my 12a? any idea what the price would be also?

 

I sure Delta V or Mitchum Enterprises could. My roomate has a compression tester for a 13B, I don't know if that would fit a 12A though. If it does you'd be more than welcome to drop by some night or weekend.

 

any one need parts car 400 with extra engine

 

more info ??????

 

no title 128XXX miles on body engine is locked extra engine spins is not locked but i dont know what the compression is some of the plastic is broken know the nomal things

 

I think more information means year, make, model, options and a description of what kind of shape the car is in.

 

my bad lol

its a 86 gxl adjustable suspsnsion power windows power sunroof the car is in very good shape or at least i think so as far as i know everything is there the engine is just locked up

 

If there aren't any VMP events, they don't have much.

I wish it was like the old days, VMP, southside speedway, and even Chesterfield was decent although I bitched about it all the time.

I'd like to say I'll be going to more track days anyway, but between the stress on the equipment and the $300 entry fee, I can't afford $800-$1000 per weekend.

 

Just want to let you guys know, I'm selling a RB SP exhaust system for $550 with less than 15k miles on it. Can't use it with the turbo project, so I've gotta sell it. Fits a 12A, so first gen only. Includes Header, MP, and Power Pulse muffler....it's the entire system.

Thanks,

Bryan

 

I had looked at the actual expenses of tracking a car and it's definetly out of my reach as well - at least on regular basis.
VMP has not been definetly lost and Jon Felton has locked in a new venue for a few events.

 

You can work track events for NASA and earn free track time. That way you'll only be paying for brakes, tires, and stuff that breaks.

 

Yeah I remembered you had mentioned that right after I posted and it's definetly something I'll be considering. I have to see how the autoX season shapes up this year and how my finances go. I was dropping my car off today at Richard Mitchums for some pre-race tweaking for next weekend and he mentioned he's got a couple of 7's he rents out for NASA's 7 challenge.

 

Yup, work two weekends and get one free track weekend. It is a good deal for people like me who enjoy being at the track anyway, even if I'm not driving. I'll be at VIR in two weekends for flag training.

 

Hey peoples I got an 88 convertible that I am interested in turboing I wanted to know has anyone turboed a six port and if so are the interested in helping a fellow rotary enthusiast. Also looking for sites that sell cheap motors. Let me know...

 

It would be much easier, not to mention cheaper just to buy a TII motor & drivetrain and switch it over. But, good luck to you if you choose to go that route. A good person to talk to would be Aaron Cake.

How do I get into contact with aaron. I want some help and maybe some of the richmond rx7 guys can get together and help me on this one But first and for most it seems like aaron is the one to talk to how do I get in touch. And thanks alot again man. I really appreciate :smiley_12

 

You could probably just email him, but I would first read everything he has posted on the subject of turboing an NA. Then email him with some pertenant questions, this isn't like turboing other cars. The cheapest way would probably be to go with a kit from Greddy, HKS, or someone like that and build a standalone ECU and run on low boost. Anything over 200rwhp on an NA and things are gonna start breaking.
The better (and hence more expensive way) is to do a full TII swap or if you have REALLY deep pockets drop an LS1 in there.
