Hey guys anybody doing anything tonite?

 

Is yours black with bronze rims?

 

No, there were actually 3 FD's out there when I left, mine is the stock looking MB w/ tan interior.

 

Hey Tom what type of sand paper grit do I need?

 

Ok if I remember right you were the one with fuel problems?

 

Joel, give me a call about your car. I would get 200, 400, and 600 grit sandpaper and a tub of filler/bondo

 

Haha, yeah that was me. I had my engine rebuilt by Bryan at Rotorsports up in Kanapolis. After that, it seemed to have trouble in the higher RPM range, it would stutter and the whole car would shake. Not to mention the cloud of exhaust that would issue forth from my exhaust pipe. I deployed before I got the chance to figure the problem out. Figures, right? I plan on taking it to Peter Farell when I get back. Have him rip the block apart and make sure everything is in good order, then trouble shoot from there and see what we come up with. Hopefully the motor rebuild wasn't the problem, I would be very upset if I spent almost $8K on a motor that blew up within 15K miles. I didn't drive it hard or anything either, I was very nice to iit during the break in period. I've been reading up on water injection lately, think that might be a good route to go once she's up and running. I think the PFC I bought was shitty, I got a used one from Rotorsports, and after about 2 weeks it wouldn't start, so I had to switch back to the stock ECU. I've been driving very conservatively after that, trying not to break 4K RPMs, since I've got a mild street port and full exhaust/air intake, I don't want a flaming seal to break some soccer moms windshield. Any ideas?

 

^ LOL trust me with a mild street port you wont be breaking that soccer mom windshield. I have a big street port and I love it.....

 

Sounds like a fuel problem to me, improper tuning in the higher RPM, you said smoke and bogging so im guessing its dumping too much fuel when it gets up there. If your not having a hard time starting the car in the mornings or serious misfiring i wouldnt be too worried about something being wrong with the engine. And wow...8k is crazy for a motor rebuild even with some extras including turbo and ecu;i would definetly be calling them back.

 

Oh and by the way..HI guys lol, TOM...YOUR THE MAN!!!!

 

Haha, Let me clarify a couple things about the 8K engine. It is a 2mm street port with coated upper and lower manifolds, powerFC ecu, and the motor was completely rebuilt, new everything pretty much. It was a little more pricey than I thought, but it wasn't too crazy compared to other places I asked around at. Plus the 5 hour drive is preferable to the 9 hour next nearest place in DC. Thanks about the upper RPM tuning suggestion, I'll have to look into it when I get home. Yeah, the car starts fine and never misfires. Just the normal cold day smoke on start-up, but that goes away quickly. Other than that, I think the worst I can say about it is that there are some paint chips and the stereo **** the bed on me.

 

Tell me something I don't know!! Macho, Erick and I pulled you car out, got it started and laid some rubber in front of the house, LSD seems to work just fine

 

Hey wazup Macho when you coming back?
Tom I still gotta buy the sand paper I just been a little bet tight cuz my wife just had surgery. But I still gonna paint it. I will let you know when I get all the materials

 

I can always count on Poppa Paddy to keep things on check for me, im glad the LSD is working fine cause i was starting to get worried about it Joelito im planning a trip to go see my kids here shortly ill keep you guys informed so we can hang out and drink an "adult" beverage, im gonna be moving back sometime this year,not certain when though.

 

hey does anyone have a fb or fc for sale. macho did u rebuild a 13b for a guy named lenny from piney green tire

 

there is one 85 here in fayetteville. It has a fresh rebulid, Bridged and holley intake manifold and carb, racing beat exhaust. the body and interiors are pretty straight and the guy wants 3800 for it.

 

Do you have a link for that?

Aren't you deployed?

I might let my FB go. I don't have the time or the motivation to finish it.

 

I'll be going out there last week of May for the big Skyline meet

But 2 trips wouldn't hurt

 

Memorial Day weekend? Not to sure if they are going to start my terminal on the 96 or wait until the day we come back to start it. Wouldn't surprise me...

 

Some of you with rx7's to sell...pm me details. Im trying to sell my subie, and if it goes through, I will have cash.
