I'm going to a 21st b-day party tonight so I won't make it, and I'll probably be a little slow tomorrow morning.

We'll probably get there a little before 11:00 so we can figure out who is going when. We need the first car on the dyno by 11:00.

Anyone want to suggest a location to meet up tonight?

Southside? Richmond? In between?

An idea of times would be good too, if we can pull it off in the earlier hours of tonight, maybe we can drag Zach out too ...

If you guys meet up somewhere around here (southside) I might stop by for a few minutes, but I promised the girlfriend that I would be with her tonight. It's worth it... oh yes it is

Pretty damn close. I think your the only one who was happy with the run!

I've posted the pictures on the RRR site. I don't have the graphs up yet because the disk they gave me is in WinPEP format, which I don't have obviously. I'll see if I can download a reader.

the guy said something about going to their site and you can download something. you might want to try that.

i was impressed, 107 to the rear wheels and 96.1 lbs of toruqe. doesnt sound like much, but for 141k miles and 18 year old 12a, i was happy. plus, the graph was SOOO smooth.

Holy ****! I want one!

I got pretty far on the RRR site today. I'm the only member so far. I think you'll like the layout for the car profiles.

96hp @ 5500 RPM

Stuck 6 ports, f*ck that. Things will be different after this weekend though, I'm tearing down the intake manifold, un-sticking the ports, and probably pulling the AC at the same time... assuming it's not too cold outside. How shameful to be the weakest RX-7 of the day

Question

Sounds like a good turnout at Rosen. I really wish I could have been there. I will be there next time..promise.

I have a few questions. The 5th and 6th ports on my 90 are stuck as well. I am going to tear it down in a few weeks and clean them up and put the pineapple sleeves in. My question is, in the process, what gaskets will i need to have? I know i will need the lower intake to block and lower intake to upper intake gasket. Beyond that I am at a loss. I guess I will need the egr and acv gasket since I am going to get the block off plate kit for this car as well. Can anyone think of anything else i will need? Thanks for the help.

Rob

Zach, O-rings are still not here for the injectors. They said today it would be in the next few days. I love Mazda dealerships.

I wonder... when you say "biggest", are you reffering to their physical size or their attitude?

I'm trying to picture you sandwiched inbetween two fat chics gambling. bwahahaha

Zach - The website looks awesome! Once I get off my lazy *** and get another job I may have to buy an inexpensive RX-7 so I have a reason to hang out with the club.

It was their attitude...everything was just pure ****.

Zach, you have pics of my car, and it's basically stock...that'll make an easy entry for ya!
