Hey guys. I know this is a NW FL thread, but I live in Tallahassee, and it seems as if I'm the only forum member between you lot an the Jax guys, so I mean it would be a blast to meet some of you and make some friends, have a few brews, grill some food, you know.

Have any of you guys considered heading east to like PC, Mexico Beach, or Cape San Blas for a bigger meet? Maybe even St. George Island?

 

im always down when my ***** gets runnin

 

How much do u have left to get the motor running Austin?

 

not too much. i have to make some custom brackets for the radiator, and get the wireing harness done. finish up a few small things and ill be done. this last bringing it all together stage has taken the longest hahaha.

and a tune........ anyone know a good local street tuner for a rx7 running PFC and AVC-R???

 

 

Gettin there! Wish mine was. I did the unthinkable Dumbest Thing You Can Possibly Do by accident yesterday and now my car won't start. I'm so embarassed but in haste to get out of the rain as I was working on my car [I don't have a garage] yesterday, I grounded the B terminal of the alternator to my UIM. And before that, My NEW alternator would only illuminate Hatch, Brake, Door, Washer, and Engine lights when I just turn the key to on, the rest were real dim. Same story now. Still won't start too. I replaced the alternator thinking it had bad bearings causing me to shred belts, but it didn't help. No electrical load on the alt and everything is tip top all the way to 9000rpm. I'm not good with electrical stuff guys. I really need my car running because it's my daily. I know there's got to be a million threads on this so I'm trying to not have to post another but I'm running out of options and time.

 

EDIT: Just went out and the car started the first time after a jump. Drove it around and she drives like normal. Now, this is all with NO ELECTRICAL LOAD attached to the alternator, in or out. When I have them attached, she does the original problem, which is slings alt belts OFTEN, ad squeals, whines, and smokes the belt at idle with them attached - my original problem. I do have a multimeter, but what should I be looking for? Where should I check?

 

what pullys are u running/ and for how long? maybe you have had the belt over stressed too long and its taken its toll on the alt. that and pull it down and off center it..... just a thought. I duno tho

 

I have all the stock pulleys. I took the pulley off the new alt I have and rolled it across my very flat terazzo floor to check it. It waved up and down and didn't spin in a straight line. Which means the speed of my engine warped my pulley. Going Banzai dual-sheave partially because I get two Gates Greenbacks with it. Will report back.

 

Banzai stuff came in today. So far so good with the dual sheave pulley. Let's hope it lasts!

 

i had to buy some an fittings to run the oil lines. im doing it this afternoon and then busting *** all day sunday to wrap **** up. if anyone wants to come lendge some knowledge and a hand im more than willing to accept. i live off hyw 98 by the naval hospital. hit me up if anyone wants to 7065364987

!!!AND I STILL NEED A HOOK UP ON SOMEONE WHO CAN TUNE THE POWER FC!!!

 

hey of I got the rx7 running right now if anybody wants to meet up I could also use some help tuning my power fc. I live in Fort Walton Beach

 

Im down for a meet. Dont know how to play with the power fc yet.

 

sweet. sounds good, im off monday through thursday, if we meet on the weekend i will be at work but we could sure hold a meet at my work. i know one other fd that will come out too.

 

There's a guy who lives here in Tallahassee with a 95 and a PowerFC. His forum name is sbnrx7. If you go to my page he has posted some things there. You FD guys having trouble with PowerFC should get a hold of him and talk to him. His name is Steve and he's a really cool guy.

 

thanks for the input native, much appreciated. any help i can get with my 7 would be amazing. she needs a lot of tlc thanks to the company that i got her from. anyways. where at on sundays... i could make a short trip somewhere i dont trust my 7 on a distance. last time i did that she broke down 300 miles from home. and sense i work sundays i couldnt stay too long. but as i stated before i will hold a meet at my strip club in fort walton beach

 

so I was looking to see if anyone would be interested in some Works VS-XX 17x8 and 17x9s 5x114. I am trying to unload a set and would like to do it local as possible. asking 1750 but deff down to cut some slack for locals

 

Just brought my FC to PCB from New Mexico. I look forward to meeting some of you guys.

 

Welcome to the area Spam! We have some 7 guys here in Tallahassee, but just a handful. I'm shooting for PCB to be a Panhandle meeting spot, if we could get a big meet together.

 

I'll be home in the late summer. (I think) My FD will be finished by then. New ignition, wheels re-finished, rebuilt driveline, new tires, new turbo set up (T04Z), and a little different exterior mods.

Welcome to the area brother!
