I need a woman like I need another car. Always tempting, but very very expensive.

hahaha, I was just joking with you Pierce.

It hasn't blown yet, but I don't want it to blow before I rebuild it, so I've basically decided to rebuild it, but I don't now when. I need the funds first too just like Pierce. I also just bought the dash so I don't really have too much money. I'm still waiting.

I can tell that the car is running even lower on compression now because it's only pulling about 15 Hg per in. That's at 1k RPMs so it should be down to about 12Hg per in if it were down to about 800 RPMs.

I've been babying lately, but right now I think I'll just keep it with stock ports for now because I don't feel like taking it to PFS to get it tuned again.

Hey Robin, wanna help me pull the engine out? ; )

Well, I don't want to leave the car at Paradise, so I think that it'd be much better just to do it in my car port. What do you think will be the tools needed? I can get the engine hoist and an impact wrench.

Hookah sucks =P

Went out for some hookah with some old friends and the taste is too light.

CONGRATZ ON 1000 POSTS ROBIN!!! That proves you have no life, hahaha, jk.

wish I could:
the Miata would require a roll bar

the FC I haven't driven enough and haven't fixed all the little things on it yet
what I need is a nice warm weekend when I'm actually home

The BMW is my DD, so I can't afford to stuff it into a tree or guard rail - especially since it is finally paid off as of this monday

I'd love too, but I have a hard time believing the Black FC will be ready by then... but I'll keep you posted... Also, Robin, I've been meaning to talk to you about that garage space you're renting out. Will you be at the meet this Friday?

The dash is beautiful, it looks like it's in perfect condition compared to the one I have right now. I've been thinking about a little project to start on my FD.

Tear out the interior and make it all black and refinish them, and then rewire (more like remove) the battery and groundings, all at the same time while I do the rebuild.

Hmmmmm.

Can't find the CD right offhand, was that an Atkins FSM? I totally thought it was one of those free-press things or something...

It was a cd with the Mazda FSM's and parts microfisches scanned in as well for all years of the RX-7.
Anyway it was something I purchased, but mostly I was giving a hard time.

All parts must go including car im tired of seeing it sit around and have no interest in getting back into the RX scene, it was good while it lasted, i had my share of RX's, i just dont have the time anymore with married life, family and new toys.
