POST #1,001. Dibs.

 

oh ****...I just noticed that. how long has this thread been around? not bad for only ten or so people posting in this thread.

not even 5 months.

 

Ya, I got the beater car when the 7 had been broken into 3 times in DC. Not leaving that car anywhere but my garage when I'm not driving it.

 

wtf is going on? How was the BBQ? Anybody go?

Should I buy a hi flow metallic cat or a resonated midpipe?
Who the **** am I kidding? I can't afford either. My daughter wants to spend 8 grand on flowers for a ******* wedding.

 

8 grand for flowers? wtf?

and I did not go to the bbq, I did not have access to my pickup truck.

 

na I had stuff going on all weekend too. As soon as i have money for a new tune im gonna get a regular mid pipe and have a muffler welded in because it'll be alot cheaper

 

I finally got a new downpipe! The ebay one on there now doesn't fit worth a ****.
I got an HKS from Nopi for $216. That's what I'll be doing Saturday!

 

Whats up Fellas..

Any of you know any place in Southern MD? or any place in MD,
that stock the "ODDESSEY" Battery??



Yes mine died... Looking for replacement.
Rather pick one up than weight for mailorder..

Thanks in advance.

 

give napa auto parts a call. the one off of route 925/old washington road.

just found out my 89 rx7 is a gtu and not a gxl. and the motor sitting in it is a remaned motor with only 20k miles on it. I was all ***** and grins.

 

Sean you might be able to get that battery at a motorcycle shop. Try calling around to some.

 

welp... have to say that the new f&f is better than the rest. Lots of 350's and FD's. Very sad part though about 1/2 way through. just turn your eyes away for about 2 mins and you will miss the veilside fd get crushed.

 

So when's the next meet? Hopefully I'll be joining the ranks of SoMD 7 owners. I'm pretty much decided on picking up a '88 GTU from a friend with a blown motor. I'm going to look around for a used motor I can swap in.

 

hey prod, I may have a motor you can use in a few weeks if you get that gtu. I am in white plains off of billingsley.

I saw a fc convertible yesterday on 301 rt. 5. it was that medium blue, and looked stock.

 

Details on the motor?

I'm in Prince Frederick BTW.

 

^I'm a Lusbian.

I put my new downpipe on this weekend..took longer than I expected. I forgot I had cut off the stud on the cat to make the old one fit. Had to drill it out. Anyway, I'm sure I lost some power because with the leaks on the old one, it might as well have been straight pipe.
The car is really quiet now. It almost sounds like a car instead of an outboard.

 

motor is a reman with around 20k on it, and I have documentation of it. was installed by koons mazda I believe about 6 years ago. I wanna go turbo or nothing at all on the 88. I know it'll be more but its worth it I think.

prod, I will let you know though when I get the motor pulled. I just don't know if it will start right up.

 

so anybody wanna help me remove my turbo's? Ive never done it but i'd like to port my wastegates before my tune with pfs

 

That sounds too much like work, but if you want to use my garage to work on it you're more than welcome. I might even hand you a wrench once in a while.
I'm hoping to fix my oil leak this weekend. I'm about 90% sure it's leaking around the oil filter pedestal.

 

cool man. Whats the plan on fixing the oil leak? I have a couple of apperances to make this weekend but sunday I may be able to swing by and lend you hand if you need

 

The plan is to try not to screw up anything else while working on it : ) I hope I can just unbolt it and put some "Right Stuff" on it and put it back on. Of course I could be wrong.

 

PM'ed you. I'm leaving for a weeks vacation on Saturday, so I may not be able to get back to you until I get back.

 

dude that sounds good to me. Realisticly ... how long should it take to remove the turbos?

 

Josh it is an hour job for someone who knows what they are doing. A first timer can expect to make a day out of it. Pre-soak the bolts with the Fabulous PBlaster about a day in advance. Your also going to need to replace the gaskets and the nuts when you go to re-install the turbos. The nuts on there are supposed to be replaced once you remove them.

Why are you porting the wastegate anyway? Are you over boosting now?

 

My life sucks, big time. I was driving to work this morning and had a fuel leak. It actually caught fire for about 30 seconds until I put it out. I still haven't figured out where the leak is, but now that I've taken the UIM off I can see there is some damage to the wiring. The leak is along the fuel rail some where, but I dont know how to find it without running the car. Again I'd like to mention my life sucks, but it could have been worse.

 

Sounds like a leaking fuel injector to me. There is a way you can check if the injectors are working or not, but I dont recall and I am ******* grumpy right now!

And ****, the FC is so ******* cramped up, those damned trans bolts are hard to get to. I am just gonna disconnect the driveshaft and undo the motor mounts. I wanted to separate the motor from the trans, but that's too much work!

If anybody wants to help out sometime, let me know. My friends are all ******** and don't wanna help me out. I will pay for the beer.
