Answer to your tuning question < I just bought a turbo2 and was gonna let everyone know on saturday . I talked to a pal out in california thats already gonna install and tune a haltech system in my ride , He is also willing to do install to anyone else for $400.oo tuning included , Im not sure how much he'll charge just for tuninig but he would probly be reasonable and better than anyone around ... we are tring to cordinate a dyno day sometime around aprill dragon time ,..




I'd rather be rotary than Pisst'on

Alright alright, I see I have critics here. I'm not going to blow up my RX-7, I only have one spare and the turbo seems to be missing.

Those screws are microscopic... the dremel would instantly remove the heads. That and they're rusted in place. And Josh, I can't remember the last time my tank was full. It's usually running on vapor. Just enough to level my garage in the presence of a spark. Bottom line is my tank is garbage no matter what I do. The baffles are rusted out.

Where is this guy? Local? And I think he said 400 for just the install and tune. The Haltech itself will run you a lot more.

Thats just install and tune your on your own with haltech cost but it seems pretty fair seeing that he is traveling 2000 plus miles , its something to think about . Im definetly gonna do it if we could all get together on it I'm pretty sure installation cost would drop a little . Its an option dont feel obligated, dont be scared to blow a motor on the dyno either,, its all part of the game . thats why I got back up .

If you dont want it on the dyno He would do a tune off the dyno to < I just want to get more bang for my buck . He's pretty good on not blowin **** up on the dyno but there is always that chance .

Hey I know someone who wants a vert bad.. She really wants a 88 I think.. I don't know her she was a customer at Little Caesars and was telling me how she had one until she had to give it to her Private Investigater becuase of her husband. Anyway, If you want her contact info I'll give it to you or vise versa. She was really wanting mine and I told her if she can get me a nice and clean coupe I'll think about it. haha. She was the original owner of hers and she was going on about how she worked for mazda and bought it from there and how it only had 70k I guess she really took care of it.

There's actually 2. One looks stock and the other (saw it from far away) had black rims and maybe a body kit.

The stock one is golferfreddie. I have no clue who the other one's is. Anybody?

Mine looks pretty much stock from the outside. The only visible difference is the Racing beat duals catback. I have not seen the one with black wheels

Golferfreddie and I have decided we need to get a few runs at the gap before dgrr. We need to shape up to show the out of towners whats up. I dont want to be slow at the dragon. If anyone is interested we need to set some dates when everyone doesnt have to work!

And the fd wih black wheels is Clints...FDse7en
