fixed the fc, I guess the safc was causing some kind of modification to the AFM signal, despite being zeroed out, removing the safc completely cured the problem!

Fixed me headlight and headlight cover and cracked intercooler coupler

New to the forum, new to the joys of FD ownership. I have had my car for a week and couldn't stand the clunks coming from the rear suspension. I spent the better part of the afternoon coming to the conclusion I may have to live with it...
See you guys next week! |

See you guys next week! Im in the process of doing all the bushings in a customer car right now. some pics out with the old in with the new. :) |
Wasn't today, but on Friday I had an oil line failure.
Dave, Aaron, you guys are awesome. Thank you. I had 2 things to do, stop by and pickup some vinyl work from Dave, and see a homeowner to give them an estimate for some work to be done. Luckily I decided to hit Dave's first. On the way, a twisted oil line decided to blow, and by the time I got there, temps had started to rise. Oil everywhere, a trail down the street, what a mess. A call to Aaron and he happened to have some -10 line, and I was back on the road. If this had happened at a potential customers place instead of where it did, the day would have been a complete disaster. Had to take off once it was running, I owe you for the mess on the driveway, hope it wasn't too bad. You guys ever need anything I can help with, let me know. |

Got my seven painted. This is how it was before.
Attachment 641143 After. Pearl white from a Nissan GTR. Attachment 641144 Attachment 641145 |
Gorgeous! I love white FC's. would love to see some closeup of the pearl.
Diggin those wheels. Today - major MS3x tuning progress for the S5 street port 13b 6port/VDI. Re-mapped my target AFR's and ignition table from the info gathered in these threads: https://www.rx7club.com/megasquirt-f...2/#post8544497 https://www.rx7club.com/naturally-as...y-afrs-714259/ Now i'm smoothly cruising around 15.5 AFR, and have gained TONS more midrange and wide-open power. Also tightened up the alternator belt because it was squealing above 7,000 RPM. And she has no problems going above 7000rpm. ~Geoff |
Started to install my hood dampers. Got cut short though. I'll have to finish this evening.
|

pulled out stock s4 n/a block from my 88 vert and swapped in 6port street port with a s5 turbo set up all in one day:nod:
now to just run the wiring harness, fuel, coolant lines and refill all the fluids and see if she starts up |
Dropped the car off with Jesus for a rebuild. It seems I've blown my oil rings.
|
Failed an emissions test and got stuck on the freeway. Thanks to the one who stopped and helped me. Feel free to come shoot the shit and check out my 2 FC's sometime.

tore down 2 engines yesterday, one with a bad apex seal, had a lot of chatter marks on the housings irons were pretty worn also, then tore one down with bad oil control rings, all the O-rings were shrunken up and the oil rings fell out of both rotors! housings and irons seem to be in useable shape tho!

The clunking was driving me crazy! Joe came over and we changes my SE to wasted spark ignition, huge difference. Also learned I was not doing compression test correctly. Thought my SE was sitting at 80, it's closer to 94. GS is just over 105. Did some polishing of taillights I have stored. Look brand new now. |

Last Monday painted my engine compartment, now I can start the build so I can get back on the track!
|
Drove the TurboFB around and dialed in some more of the tuning map. Got into boost a bit, and still needs a bunch of tuning in that part of the map. But, the vacuum portion is feeling pretty nice. Also, stripped the whale tail in prep for paint, as well as cleaning up a few dings on the front air dam. Can't wait for Fest! It'll be ready!. Oh, going to stretch some tires on my Epsi's too... Did I say streeeettttcccchhhh?
