well after much preperation for novmber meet i was on my way home when the line for the turbo blew and landed all over the hotside of the turbo when it was red hot... i was lucky enough to put it out with the gallon of water that almost every rotary owner keeps with them lol well pushed the car the rest of the way home as i was only about 6 blocks away so im still planning on going to the meet but in my corolla mayb

sorry to hear that Luis. How bad is it, pics?

 

That happened to mine, which didn't burn too long. Burn't about a foot of engine harness and had to replace the oil line.

 

actually i just now have been able to really look at it was able to clean up the oil and see really didnt do any damage i was lucky... i had heatwrapped the entire wiring harness lol incase something of the sort ever happned all it did really was melt the smaller wires that were left hanging out... which should be somewhat of an easy fix and put almost everything in the engine bay black but tommorow or sometimes as im tired of rushing threw things im gonna pressure clean the entire engine bay and just fix it should be fine...

ill try my best to make it to the meet still but not gonna hurry myself....

 

damn man that really sucks, best of luck to you. i'm down to help if you need be.

 

Ouch, sorry to hear that

 

had a similar problem with my last FD....oil lines blew and caught fire!!! not a very good experiance.

Knowing the complete history of the car, i can only offer you $600 cash

 

Aftermarket turbo? Did you have a restrictor pill in the line?

 

Luis, not all rx7's suck, yours just sucks.....lol.... J/K... Also I heard that some girl in a Lambo was telling you that your car was on fire....lol.....

PS: Yea..... all rx7's do suck....

 

awww no rx7 love. i like mine (even though it's slow)

 

no no actually opposite is was trying the lambo seeing if he wanted to race (knowing the car had an oil leak) but i didnt bother he actually gave in and we started messing around down sunset the guy gave me a thumbs up after that car started smoking like crazy... i didnt bother with it since im used to the car smoking lol but next thing i know some lady on horse is like yelling hey your car is on fire! im like yea yea its supposed to do that shes like no theres a flame under the car i was like oooo **** so yea put out the fire and pushed the car home no big deal really ill have the car done in a bit hopefully but everything looks good about getting a job i have an interview on monday so if i start making money everything looks good for the car =) but dad is having a heart attack about him wanting me to sell the car....

a lady on a horse. so you got beat by a 1 hp old lady.. and owned by her.... man, sorry to hear that, hot oil is bad when its not inside your engine... eek, good thing you didn't get burnt opening your hood

 

So really, with a car smoking oil (since you stated you knew it had an oil leak), you didnt stop at a parking lot to take a look and continued to try and race and then blame/complain about the car for crapping out on ya.

the leak was little droplets i knew where it was coming from dont think im trying to say its the cars fault im not saying that i still love my car no matter what the case is... i had showed up at murrays speed and custom people who sold me the braided line asking them if they could see what was up he said to take it home take the line off and hed remake it for me so it all happned on the process of my way home.... my complaining is ranting but its ok every rx7 owner goes threw it

coño Luis, estas bien salao !

 

In that case, just another case of rotary bad luck from what it sounds like. Hopefully the damage isn't too bad and you'll be back on the road soon.

Tim

Kudo's on the work ethic. Usually when I'm disappointed about one of my 7's, it'll sit until I've decided I've cooled off enough to work on it again.

damn guy, you have some shitty luck.
