It is all together. 2nd is a bit loud going in but downshifts smooth. May have been off a tooth on the synchro... Going anyways. Pacific Raceways, here I come.

Picked up an 85 GS today. Interior needs some love, and except for the paint and rear spoiler, it looks pretty much stock everywhere. 180k miles. Only $400. Motor is half dead.

I fixed my oil pressure guage! Had to pull the guage cluster out and replace the inner workings of the guage.

Under those seat covers were some red seats. Picked up a GREAT looking pair of grey seats from 'Tallbozo' who had posted in for sale section. Detailed the interior, seafoamed the engine. I'm going to mess with it some more. Rebuilt the weber on the SE, I'm going to be spending some time with that too completely re-doing it from top to bottom, and apparently I need to learn about accelerator pumps as well.

My little one helping me detail the inside. She wants it to be hers already.


The new seats installed



Red ones I'm posting up for sale

Finally finished wiring my Autometer Sportcomp wideband AF gauge and ran the O2 sensor cable through the firewall. Looks pretty good, now I just need to drop the downpipe out and get another bung welded in.



The gauge itself heats the sensor, as soon as the engine is started and the power wire sees 12.5v, and gives a 20 second countdown before registering an accurate A/F ratio reading. Lighting looks good too, and isn't too bright or flashy.



The O2 sensor cable was just long enough with a little cable to spare to reach from the left-side A-pillar to the downpipe.

Installed an HKS twin power system, courtesy of Jason at RX7store. Engine responsiveness is much better, and upon first test-drive, it certainly feels like it climbs through the power-band smoother and with slightly increased power. I'm very happy with it.

Just got in my Pettit AST, ACT Street/Strip Sprung Hub, and Nippon-Denso fuel pump, again courtesy of RX7store. The AST will go in this weekend, but since the PowerFC is backordered, I'll be waiting a bit before I install the new clutch and fuel pump. More importantly, a Pettit beer insulator was thrown in for good measure!

Just made a sweet deal. Set of gold Auto Bahns in 4x110 for my GS, only 400 plus shipping. I can't wait for them to arrive!!!!!

Forget BBS or Enkei's, I'm going to be rocking Auto Bahns.
