how bout pics of the wife? just kidding, what did you run in the 1/4 mile? did you ever get it dynoed? i am curious as to how much pwer you have. besides being a god to all those who love rx4's. oh by the way, what is a good price for an RX4 in your opinion. a guy i know has one that he no longer drives, and i might make an offer for it. I would love to have an entire rotary army of my own. Hahahahaha thanks Matt22

Time slips, at the 1/8 mi it's a killer but then that's where it runs out of gas, so from there on I'm trying to ners it down the track, think it was 92mph@14.3sec. still got the slips. Got a dyno here at work, had a 3rd gen on it and it out pulled the dyno thats becouse the dyno is a smog unit from Ca. so then I put my RX4 on and it just out pulled what the 3rd did, just feel the defferenst, like the dyno was not even there, but it falls on its face, been working on a fix MORE GAS DELIVER

Oil Return Lines

Well went thruogh all the pics I had simple becouse getting under the car and getting the ones of the oil return just didn't work. Pic 20 is on the work bench way back when I was using a 35mm, found it so here it is.The red line out lines the oil return line and the other line out lines the Alt mount which some one requested, think I all ready posted that pic. Pic 23 shows in yellow the oil return and in red is the coolent lines. And the rest of the pics are as what you see.

Cold Air Intake

well now, waht tho say, O just look at the pics. What I did wsa to take out the inner head lite and replaced it with a 6" speaker screen which fits and with the help of a little silicon gel held in place. On the back side there are openning for the head lite connectors which lead rite into the air boxes, it's all sealed off so all the air is trapped and well go into the boxes.
