soon that won't take too long expecially when you come and go at odd hours of the night, My GF's neighbors hate me.

Today we boosted for the pretty girls, also drove it like a skateboard standing on the door seal coasting down a bussy street holding the steering wheel.. Ran out of gas at the light (too many pretty girls), coasted down 162nd from burnside to stark got going pretty good about 20. 2 cops saw me and didn't pull me over. it had to be illegal. It was too much fun not to be.

took it to the dyno day bbq at intec today.
what a fiasco. first off it wasnt boosting the ten pounds i wanted it was boosting .4 bar. maybe a half a bar. i wanted it around .7 bar. guessing my manual controller is broken. second. i have a leak from the lim gasket. third the car was idling kinda funny. the alt was barely charging the battery and it had to be pushed started several times.
dyno report:
183.8 whp
163.8 tourqe

Car has been sitting since 2007 so i decided to give it a nice wash and wax. Also grabbed a few bolts and parts to polish. Bought a $500 fuel system new from rx7 store and found the pitch was wrong on the fuel rail. Now i need to buy a 1.75" x 18 pitch tap, AWESOME! Ordered $948 dollars worth of parts including a ACT extreme clutch kit, ACT 13pound flywheel, aftermarket primary fuel rail, and other misc parts form Banzai Racing.

Tapped my aftermarket primary and secondary fuel rails, bolted on the ACT flywheel, polished a few parts, and added the cold start block off plate. Looking forward to getting the new clutch and finish up my fuel rails.

Pulled apart a spare motor. Woo hoo! Sliced my thumb up real good too. Maybe on a side seal? I dunno... It's still bleeding though.
