phew finally got off my lazy *** and put the new driveline in. yah i can listen to music again!!

and as it turned out sure enuf the rear u jount was about to break in half. the bearing shattered.....

 

well bad news i was hit with a double wammy! driveline was for sure broken but i found that i broke the front rear diff mount at the same time. if i dont finish that job bytech day than thats definitly something i need to do on the TECH day.

 

well remember. if you need any parts, i guess the best bet would be to get ahold of dan atkins or mazdapu. like a front seal. hint hint.

 

Allen do you need another front seal????

 

, im going to pick up a mount from a freind today, i might need a front seal for my other car lol must find that pesky oil leak!!! its somwhere in the front... thinkin either front main, front cover, its speeping around the bolts, or OMP. i need to take a closer look today...

 

no. but angel does.

 

hey, whoever plans on attending let me know for sure. that way we can plan the day out and food arangments. pm me for directions. i should get back to you in a few days. ha ha ha

 

I will bring the front seal .... If there is any thing else you all are going to need let me know.

Later
Dan Atkins

 

bump to the top!!!!!!!

 

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.

 

i bet your car cant leak oil under the car as bad as mine!! haha

 

my old van took 2 quarts a day.

anyways, back on topic......
if you need parts from dan atkins, you need to let him know by wendsday so he can be sure to have them.

 

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.

 

i think a coolent seal is bad in the grey car now, so it loses coolent allmost as fast as it loses oil........... man problems, problems ,problems!!!


car runs on , gas, oil, water, and PS fluid. boy it sure is a hungry beast!!!!!

 

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.

 

Hey Kettle, mind if a piston guy shows up? I have been a mechanic for 10 years, i might be able to help out a bit.

A.H.VR-4

 

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.

 

not at all. will be fun. always room for more.

 

ok kool, email me the directions at ltrummert@comcast.net

 

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.

 

I got to get my baby registered too
damn Washington and their F*&%(**%(* emissions crap

 

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

Chris

 

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.
