I would really like to keep you guessing....


JIC FLT-A2, also ordered a new competition diff mount that I sloughtered Sunday, rear steer eliminators, and new outer tie rod ends. I am hoping this tightens up the car quite a bit.

Tires and bushings are next.

I won't be there tonight, I am headed down to Yorktown to hang out with the little brother while the parents are away for the weekend.

haha, i wasnt trying to get on it that much but there was some water on the ground as you turn right out of starbucks, when it started spinning I said F it. and got on it a little bit.

now I have this massive problem of my car overboosting. The wastegate arm can be moved by hand, is correctly hooked up but on the highway I was getting over 14lbs of boost momentarily, actually once in third I let it get to 18psi before i let off.

Something is wrong........and Zach ported the wastegate

I guess it is time to get the HKS turbo with external wastegate

I'll help if I can but I paid to have the 2 tranny's I went to be replaced in my FC, I have no idea how to do it or have any tools for it. I can turn wrenches or lift stuff real good.
Mitchum Enterprises might have a spare s4 transmission they could pull.

oh yeah and Zach the diaphram is torn in my wastegate. I need a new one so I dont over boost.

The last time I had a diaphram tear on me I had to name a kid, and well he gets a certain percentage of my paychecks for the next 18 years. So this one isnt so bad!

robin call me about the suspension I can do saturday or sunday

Hey Robin, I'd like to help out if possible. I want to see how much of a pain in the *** its going to be doing the dtss elim. That should be fun!
Wow, I have yet to replace my wheel bearing by the way. I'm going to throw the dtss elim. in at the same time.

Dead fc- I've got a spare tranny as well, its definately in good enough condition. 260k miles, but was rebuilt... uh sometime? I don't know the mileage it was rebuilt at. Help yourself to it as soon as I get a new clutch in. Anyone had exp. with exedy?
Thanks again for that deal yusoslo

Exedy is good stuff, they're actually the OEM supplier for RX-7's and those last a long *** time. I upgraded to their heavy duty clutch in the FC it grabs like a **** and is easy to modulate. If you haven't done so already get a replacement hydraulic SS clutchline. (I gots mine from Corksport - very nice quality)

Robin when is the suspension change outy gonna be? I can bring beer.


PS: find the spare light switch yet?
