I don't know about easy to swap. Easier than the standard fittings for braided i suppose. The ones I used on my fuel system were a bear to get onto the fittings. Not quite as bad as making the braided hoses.

I priced out the difference and it's not much more to just do braided line with the tighter fittings. I think it was about $40 difference. I'll just do that and save myself the headache of fixing a leak after the fact. I think you might be right about them leaking on the push loc fiitings. At least with 120psi.

 

ok glad i could help.

its not often i'm much help, because i'm new to all of this and still learning

 

so anyone interested in NOPI at Budds Creek n May?

I started a thread, so check it out:
https://www.rx7club.com/ne-rx-7-forum-30/nopi-maryland-640500/

Just sign up, that way we can have our own little section or something

 

hopefully ill have my vert there.. probably stock tho wont run it

 

right right. I'm gonna be ther, and hopefully with my RX-7, but i just got it running and its not much to look at right now! If it goes i'm gonna show it anyway, can't hurt.

It looks like *****, but who cares

 

adding to the last post, anybody willing to let me borrow a few body parts for the show? willing to pay, better yet willing to buy

Basically need all the front body pieces...or should i jus order a kit and hood?

 

i would just buy an ebay kit for the price .. then get a sexy style hood from shineauto cuz its sexy.. and thats what im gonna rock so my vmount becomes functional

 

Sometimes it just takes someone to chime in and point out the obvious. Which seems to be that it isn't worth chancing it over $40.
I've been up to the NOPI a few times. It's to crowded for me though to be honest. It's a more a pain in the *** that anything.

 

Yea i think thats what i will end up doing. I just have to find one i like, and worth buying because i def need fenders and a hood and front bumper because of damage to the car prior to the car becoming mine.



Yea sometimes i can help.
And i understand what ya mean, but i don't have a lot of money tied up in my car, so i don't have "babysit" it, and wen i go with a bunch of classmates its rather fun!

 

I meant more of getting through the crowd to get into the track, getting through the crowd to get to the consession stand, getting through the crowd to get to t he pisser. Not really worried about baby sitting a car myself.

 

I'll prbably go.... I always end up there somehow.

Well after two hours at the body shop last night I still dont have my car... I called to see if it was ready for pick up and the guy said " yeah it looks great, we still have to wash it all up but we have one problem..... we cant get it to start." I already knew the problem.

They had flooded the motor so bad that Shrek and I had to get all new plugs before she would start. BTW Thanks SHREK! So hopefully today they'll let it run for a minute before they shut her down.

what do you think... at $80/hour I think from the 250 deductable I only owe them 90 bucks minus the 25 for new plugs so i should write them a check for $65? hahah I wish

 

FD3Boost - yea that is true, i understand what ya mean on that

 

twin7r1 - ok, yea it is kinda hard to stay away from

 

Does anyone wanna try to get together say friday down here for some seafood and beer?

Catamarans on Solomon Island around 7:30 or 8. Dave if you wanna come down you can look around my engine bay all you want. I've gotta work on the seven untill then or else I would say I could do it earlier. Looking to replace the diff buschings, change out the tranny and diff fluid, and fix the ppf transmission problem.

Shrek--- you're going out tomorrow night after we work on the cars!

 

what body shop did u take it to total auto repair.. or a saint mary's place.. anygood?

 

I go to wentworths collision works in lusby... they flodded my car but Howard, the owner, is awesome. They always accomidate me and hoom me up when they can. I highly recomend them

 

Yep dave you were right... My ppf is cracked almost all the way through. Im taking it off tonight ot hopefully weld it back together with some 1/4 inch steel to make sure that doesnt happen again... anybody else here run into any ppf problems?

 

I friend of mine broke his a long time ago. We repaired his too and it held pretty well from what I remember.

 

yeah i broke my ppf almost in half. You can weld it back together and it will hold!

 

My FC is getting close!

 

Well with the help of Shrek (again), the ppf is solid! I didnt have time to take a pic but it holds great!

 

I've seen a welded ppf. The lack of photos is alright.

 

I know a fun game. Let's all tally up the amount of cash spent on our rx7's. I am pretty sure I win next to Ernie. I want the tag $$$$PIT

 

I bet I got most total for a fc! The car cost 1k haha total amount thrown away into the car over the past 6 years a little short of 40k
