After two months of working on, losing sleep, spending money and stressing out over the car I got it back on the road this afternoon. Today I made ss -10 an fmoc lines and got it aligned (lifetime alignment ftw!!!) I have learned an important life lesson from my moment, people are not perfect and humans are not invincible, I'm no different.

-car update
The clutch still slips but it grabs better then the last maiden voyage. I can drive it but without boosting it too much. I will most likely need to get a new disc and resurface the flywheel in the next for weeks but right now it drives and puts a smile on my face, I finally don't need to get dropped off by my mom haha and walk everywhere. Lloyd, you can say I told you so. hehe.


I would like to give a huge thanks to the nw rx7 community and all who helpd me out.
Specifically I want to give a big thanks to: Lloyd, Chris, Michelle, Daniels, Tim, Adrian, Dave, Billy, Jordan, Mai, John, Josh, Audie, Ben, Grae, Erik, and Yoonie, also thanks to anyone else who gave me a hand or shared knowledge, if I forgot to mention your name do hate me, its in my human nature.
If you all need something ever, I got your backs

 

congrats It will be nice to see that thing back on the road.

Its all gravy. I appreciate the days you were there with me working, learn from my mistake...working on cars while under the influence of food poisoning was a bad idea.


HELL YEAH...I won the bet hehe, you even had professionals in a legitimate shop putting your car back on the road. Bustin yo ***** meng, any updates ??? your going to be ready for august taco right ?

 

u try adjusting the clutch pedal rod yet? to see if u can get it to engage lower on the pedal?

 

AARON! Soooo glad to hear it's up and running about! Should I bring over ice cream again? lol

 

finally! she lives!!....time to burn rubber..lol

 

It was a fun ride on Sunday, your cars looking hot and
heavy. Glad we could meet up, watch out with running
no hood though, it's not illegal, but it'll catch a cops
attention....

Hope you get that boost problem ironed out soon, tell
me if you need a hand turning a wrench, I'm game.

 

we need to go for a drive soon! its been to long since we had a nw drive!

 

Damn pocket caller... good to hear it's up again.

ive been to del taco once in an rx7 and that was for apple blossom lol, as for august i can pray but the way things have been going i really dont know if im gettin it back before summers gonna be over so if anybody feels like puttin me out of my misery feel free to do so haha


you should hook it up with a ride to this months taco if i dont have it back tho ill just bus it over to ur place lol

 

Aaron, glad to hear you got it all up and running, hows the passenger side front brake doing? Was the SS lines install as easy as I said it was?
I would never tell you "I told you so".....
You need a hood??? or are u waiting on a new vented one?

its good to hear that your little beast is running again.

 

Aaron what's this boost issue JD mentioned? Same as before?

 

Glad to hear it's up and running again.

 

Looking forward to seeing it at Del Taco again.

 

I think the boost issue jd mention was my clutch slipping at .35 bar. I need to get the clutch figured out, I should have not touched it myself and had from the start had a professional do it. It worked awesome when chris set it up. Not sure where I went wrong with it.

-and lloyd I actually clicked that link haha, at least you didn't pull what my friends would do and disguise it as a link to goatsie'sss SS lines went together easy.

 

I wish you all to take the hood off your car and drive it around for a few days. The stares and looks it recieves, I mean I could have a nekked girl riding and get less attention. Its really kinda fun.

I met a friend at vw meet tonight and just pulling into the parking lot I imeadiatly saw everyone mugging me for 1) I was not vw or bmw 2) I almost sure I could mop everyone of their cars on the highway 3) shiny engine and no hood.
Leaving I bouced it off the limiter a few times for my buddy to hear then procedded to stall it in front of everyone after drawing all the attention to myself.
2nd time I embarassed myself in front of the vdub crew, I had to laugh at myself.
