o_O Dangit man.

What happened ?
How bad is everything?
Did they have insurance?

 

Yeah, I got paid. I have to replace my muffler and my rear bumper. I think the impact messed up my wiring as well... somehow.

 

alright ima go out like a newb about this:

just got a 87' rx7 [not running yet] for $350 from a guy in seattle, and always wanted one but never owned one cause i heard rotaries are crazy. Anywas the guy that sold it to me sayed it was flooded, and i heard that you coulld start it by pressin' on the gas pedal?

like i sayed iam going to be a NOOOB about it, so please don't clown on a ninjah

 

There are several methods to unflood your car. If you'd like I could come by and try and help you, since I live in the SE portland area.

 

The pedal method only works on certain models...

The easiest way is to just pull the EGI fuse [under the cover in the engine bay, on the strut tower on the driver's side..], and then turn the key to start and let it spin about 15 seconds [may be more.. mine was always 10-15sec, others have had to do it longer..], put the fuse back and try starting it [no throttle].

If it starts up, let it run for at least a few minutes to get back to normal.. and if the tach. isn't working, just wait the few minutes and then restart the car and it'll be back to normal.

 

so change of subject. i dunno bout all u weekend night time drifters lookin for huge parking lots n amazing corners, this is for you. so i followed some friends out to 181st area in between ptown n gresham area, i suppose its gresham thought; well went down there to find a badass spot but by the time i knew where i was going the cops had already showed up cuz my friends were there b4 me. so i go to turn around and i get fing pulled over! the cops tell me that if they catch us acting like idiots on the road its a 400 plus ticket and they'll tow the car sooooo... who ever is in gresham wtf! how do u get away w/ illegal stuff over there. cops were after us all nite!!! they were swarmping all over the fing place it was insane. ive been on the retard illegal race type dealeo scene up here for a while and honestly i'll never go back to that area ever again it actually turned me off a lot! im not even joking its like we robbed a bank thats how many cops were out looking for us. i personally didnt do **** and spent the night trying to catch up w/ the main group so i was always really late. i even got booted out a parking lot by a rent a cop. arg. . . never again. so lets here you guy's ridiculous stories and i wanna here whats up w/ the gresham kids cuz i dont even know what to think.

 

first of all thanks for offering help ProjectKyo
but the rx7 is being a beezy to me and not starting up, and iam kinda low on money
so my lil 7' won't be out and about for a while.

and speaking on gresham, MWMburton i live by gresham on 148th on division; I personally never EVER go there not unless, like you said to get a hefty ticket and towed away, thats a f****** hot spot anytime of the day for cops. i got pulled over in my ugly *** mazda mx6 and the cops said i didnt even have insurance, he went back to his cop car and came back and said that i switched my insurance to Geicko, F****** i dont even have that insurance. Plus the gresham police have nothing to do over there, but to pull people over for no apperent reason, so yeah don't go over there not unless you have a f****** street bike to run from them

 

weathers getting nicer.. did you guys wanna go do night time hilly drives? aka togue.. i dont really know of any good spots, other than rocky point (off skyline), and its only like 2mi long. im sure theres plenty people who know of some good spots tho.
and lets try to keep the roads smooth.. some of us have coilovers lol

 

I'm down

 

sry to change the subject again....

does anybody use a "Fuel Impact Cut Off Switch?" Is it better then maunaly cranking the engine and all that stuff, cause i did that process this whole morning and nothing happened. ='(
If so, would anybody know where i could get a Fuel Impact Cut Off Switch or fuel cut switch thingy around town or online?

 

Impact...?

If pulling the fuse, cranking, and reinserting didn't work then a Fuel Cutoff Switch wont help either.. [it's effectively the same thing as pulling the fuse, but in that case you're actually switching the connection to the fuel pump on and off...]

So.. You might have some other trouble going on..
Jump over to the second gen. Tech section and look in the FAQ for a thread that will walk you through all the possible problems ^_^
