If I am able to make it out then I can put in my lsd and my rb holley setup, that is if I can get a hold of a better fuel pump and regulator by that time. Then you guys can also look at how shitty and ugly my car is and stare in amazement at the nice coating of oil accumulating throughout the underside of my car.

kompressorlogic it seems that you are always having some issues on your 7s. At one Izzy's meet didn't your steering wheel come off? then at the last one you hasd driveline issues right? Well anyways I hope I am able to fix my issues.

It's because he has so many and never drives the reliable one to the meets! I was expecting him to drive home with a wrench in place of a steering wheel one night.

Well I will be to tech day with what I have of a carb setup. I guess and hope the 2bbl holley that is bolted on the carb setup I was mailed will have to do until I can get a 4bbl setup. With a 2bbl I shouldn't have to worry about uprading my fuel pump or regulator until I go to a 4bbl.

Well, I don't mind and I'm sure the others won't either; always nice to meet other enthusiasts and have them lend a helping hand. Just don't mention anything about gas milage.

I gotta see if Rose will start, then get her registered. She's been sitting way too long, but with as unreliable as she's been, I'm kinda waiting to go through everything and make her like new.

Hey I live in Olympia as well. I just bought a 87 Turbo II on Sunday, and I have already noticed several potential major problems with the car, but I know nothing about rotary motors or anything about this car for that matter. So if I could get some directions and a phone number or something PM'd to me then that would be cool. Or Kettleman can IM me on yahoo. Thanks guys! Started to worry there was no RX7 guys in Olympia I hate calling up Kompressorlogic 24/7 and saying "Ryan...the car is doing this..and leaking this...what do you think it is?" Or " The car is acting like this and makes this noise...what does that mean?"

Can you say NooB? lol JK

Ryan's a good guy to ask about that stuff but he fixes everything with zip ties! (just kidding but he is the master of zip ties). I have some directions I can give you if you never get a response, although that's highly unlikely. Hopefully you'll learn a lot.

Alright...I sold the car today. Unless anyone can offer me more than $675 then Ryan just bought it! Anywho, I might still come to the meet...depends on if I am working that day or not.
