If I get my car inspected by then, I'm down! My motor is on it's way out though so I probably wouldn't present much of a challenge lol.

So, Anthony, will you be looking into a large StreetPort with Cryo apex seals? We could also upgrade you to 9.4 rotors. I hate to hear an engine failing, but that just opens oppurtunity for building something better

gas prices, and fear of blowing up my engine, and reliability (as far as being able to drive in the snow) is what kept me from doing anything fun to it. so if those are your fears, just try to get another dd so you can work on the 7.

Progress is bitter sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









A long road comming but the engine is mounted and set. I got the fuel system, and ignition to finish this weekend, and a few odds and ends and she should be BRAPPING by monday. SO.............. I got another ticket on the way home, I didnt realize that 74 in a 55 isnt a good thing oh well, the cop was cool, he loved the rx, said his grandpa had one just like it didnt know if that was a compliment or a insult lol. He told me that I just had to prove the speedo is off, and they will throw it out. He told me it would be easy to belive since the car is
28 yrs old, and I have had it for a short time..... anyone have any diffrent drive gears so I cn throw it off, get it tested and get this ticket dropped? lol On a good note, I got something in for the ol' FB today.




never had one of these before so I figured it was time. Any help this weekend would be awsome, and I am willing to give scary rides to the first takers lol. But I figure Sam has first dibs lol. I appreciate the help Sam, the guidance has been inspireing.

So SAM, is this a big enough spacer for the exhaust manifold so the turbo will clear?

I'm not sure on the thickeness of those flanges, but you will need a minumum of 2 inch of spacing I do believe. I think Long remembers the exact thickness of the spacer he made.

I couldn't remember for sure on the thickness. I made the one for the 12A, and you made the one for the 13B. So, sometimes things get confusing. By the way, Thank you Long for getting me those TII parts. Maybe now, I can run some boost worth mentioning and quit destroying transmissions
