what did you do to your rx7 today
I will definitely check this.
I'm about to shower and then head out to get my car on a lift.
Say I'm on a hill/slight incline, stopped.
First gear, let off clutch a little and gas it so I balance out (kinda rock back and forth)
when I push the clutch back in there's a clunking sound.
And then it happens sometimes when I shift from 1st-2nd-3rd. But not all the time.
I'm unsure at what's causing it or what it could be.
I know I can forsure make it happen when I rock/balance out on an incline, but as far as driving and having it happen idk what triggers it.
My welded diff has recently started to sound pretty bad so I'm going to see if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks for mentioning the front diff mounts, i'll definitely have to check that too because sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the front.
Reports later!

Okay, so my diff seems fine. enough fluid, everythings nice and tight and looks to be in place.
I officially figured out the clunk is coming from the front.. w/ clutch engagement.
It may be my driveshaft..I think I'll take it over to a shop and have it listened to/looked at and get another/better opinion.
I'll get back to you w/ a pm about that driveshaft, if that's indeed what it ends up being.

after trimming 3 inches off my test pipe i got my exhaust all the way together. hopeuflly my fuel rails are in in the morning so i can swap this bad boy all together and finally fire her up!!
found my OMP is leaking also and I already knew this but so is my oil return for the turbo, luckaly its the one that I can get at without removing the turbo. even though I can get that turbo off quick. I've only done it like 6 times in the last 6 months.....
I bought some more oil for it, and adjusted my bov some. still needs work. it use to flutter after a red line shift, and it doesn't do that anymore.... wtf

Posting this about yesterday because I was too tired to do it then.
- Rebuilt the 4-piston calipers for my moms GTU.
- Tore apart the factory s5 cd player to restore it to working condition
- Bolted the seats back in place so we can actually drive the car

Pulled out my passenger seat, drove over to AA's house, and picked up an SA-CA-12A, used the vacant passenger space to haul it home.
It's kind of like making a transplant recipient carry their new kidney to the hospital in the little red cooler.
Bit heavier, though.
(Whoops; wrong region, heh. Hi, NW peeps!)

Got the GSL-SE fuel system swap all bolted in today, gas tank, fuel pump/filter and the lines. The Mallory 4309 fuel regulator will go in next, add some gas and start tuning.
Good times!
