I spoke to Regino over by Lopez Racing today and he said that he will be there.

hey whats up with that stuff you said about fuddrockers in kendall today I was at work fixing a car so i couldnt really pay attention to the conversation.

HE SAID I HAVE TO DO A COMPLETE TUNE UP TO FIND THE PROBLEM BUT HE THINKS ITS THE FUEL FILTER OF THE FUEL PUMP.

it gets stuck at 5000 rpm but is it a hesitation???? check your grounds???? or it could be what happened to me in my TurboII i had to rewire the fuel pump because those old wires dont give the same amount of voltage they did 20 years ago so your fuel pump is most likely not getting the correct amount of voltage that it needs....

When I had the same problem I took it to Dennis DeSilva's shop and he fixed it.. didnt cost me very much. Call him at 786-293-9443

His shop is located at: 18773 SW 105th Place.. near Marlin Rd & Quail Roost.

ITS NOT HESITATING IT JUST GETS STUCK AT 5000 RPMS AND DOSNT MOVE EVEN IF YOU KEEP ACCELERATING. MY MACHANIC SAID IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL PUMP SO ILL JUST TELL HIM TO CHECK IT OUT. I WOULD CALL Dennis DeSilva's shop BUT I TOLD MY MECHANIC THAT I WILL GO BACK AND LET HIM FIX IT AND I DON’T LIKE GIVING MY WORD AND NOT KEEPING IT THANKS ANYWAYS VAL AND TWEAK THANKS FOR THE INFO.

I did sell it .. then I bought it back.

I had sold my vert to a guy named Vince in Miramar... It turned out that his wife didnt want the car so I had a chance to buy it back minus the 20% restocking fee. So i had some money left over to get some goodies. The engine was a bad engine that i bought from this guy named Brandon who was at the first meet. That engine ended up in the junkyard so Vince got a newer engine for it. If you make it to this meet you will see what was done to it. That is why I said what I said about doing business with an RX7 mechanic that actually has a physical shop that bears his name and can provide a written receipt. I got burned on the previous motor since I had no receipt. The guy was a free lancer... Have tools will travel type of guy.

My intention was not cut anyone down like Cris,,, I was just simply stating my opinion based on my experience with an RX7 mechanic that didnt have a shop.

The Red Turbo II was freshly painted and it belongs to Regino. Hopefully next thursday night we can have more people show up to the K Mart parking lot next to Fuddruckers.
