ok dave when can we do it? before the next meet i hope, the sooner the better. Price?

 

Do you have everything needed? Fan relay Thermo switch etc...? As for cost. Actual cost of exhaust pipe and probaly 3000 pennies labor Maybe. Gotta look into the fan Maybe I'll do one at the same time and you can follow along and do yours yourself. We'll see. I won't promise anything as to timeframe. I am going to be hussleing on Ant's car and working a full time job as well, soo not much free time. But we'll work something out. I may use Ant's car as a "mock-up" for the mid-pipe and save some time.

BTW: Did you get the TT velcro'd down OK? Is it working out the way you want it too? Mounting, operation etc..?

 

so these efans... I've heard that they're a waste of $30 bucks and that they're the best mods ever... to the people that have gotten them, are they worth the time to battle the summer heat??

 

Well Sam has the fan, he picked up some at the pull a part off of some ford taurus's and can sell me one for my car for twenty dollars, so i dunno if that has all the parts(SAM does the fan have all the parts for install) as for the midpipe let me know a final total for the pipe and install, it shouldnt be that hard to install myself.

As for the TT it is actually sticking to what we used, but i'll velcro it anyway. Its functioning awesome. i have had no problems so far. thanks again.

Thanks dave, let me know on that e fan and mid-pipe

I'll do it for ya.


Edit: Should have read the whole thread before posting, oh well. I do know that cold showers never felt so good.

 

No problem on the transmission. I like workin on cars, so if I got something someone needs, take it.

I was rootin for ya to make it home for a change of luck, but then I was driving slow back here just in case

Oh, and whenever you find out how much the templates will cost let me know!

 

ok stu, if you gonna charge me how much? an dave was aking me if what sam was charging for the fan came with all that was needed for install... need to change my oil anyway.... let me know

 

I don't want to undercut Dave here If he is too busy I can do it for cheap.

 

so stu... ya like workin on cars eh? wanna hook me up wit a 20B!! jokes

 

Sure, I know where to get them cheaper than ebay...

Oh, you were joking

 

Wow! Sounds like I missed some fun with a tranny failure on the cruise. I hope big blue came out to play and tow again. Looking forward to pics to tell the tale.

 

ZOOM-FEST registration is now open everyone. Sign up and caravan down to Road Atlanta for a fun weekend of Mazda and Mazda powered vehicles.

John_ If someone else can get you taken care of quicker, by all means go for it. I am having some back tests this week that will take me out till at least the weekend or later. I will no9t be insulted offemded or anything like that. Also glad the TT is working to your liking.

Anthony came over tonight and lost a few pounds working in the garage(around98 degrees) I got the hood sanded down and ready for spot filler, then primer. Trying to get his front fenders, hood and headlight covers primered this weekend or early next week

He found the source of a oil leak on his engine,...2 OMP lines just spitting oil out Taking care of that in the next couple days.

Got his CAI prepped and ready for drilling tomorrow. Now he has a tank and motor for a ALchy or water injection

Ulitimate goal is to have his car back to him in time for ZOOM-FEST. Will be a test of my sanity for sure..

sorry for the story but hey, having fun painting a crew members car

Later, Dave

 

Something came up today... :

https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-general-discussion-207/what-would-you-do-762829/

 

No!! You have no idea what troubles that will bring. Plus IMO it is ugly as hell. But I don't like sharp angles all that much.

FWIW: What year,miles/history/why they want to trade straight across etc..

You do know you'll be banished correct maybe even staked and stoned!!

All kidding aside it would be different. You don't see many of them around. And you can always get Sam's SA and rejoin the "real" world

 

nope blue got to stay at the house... the trany was stuck in 3rd and i guess the street port makes enough power to get her moving... it was like driving an auto 7 lol with only 1 gear

i think i broke a shifter fork.. will have to wate till stu gets apart to find out


stu what templet are you wanting?

cheers PaTricK

 

Well, Bridgeport or Race Exhaust. I would rather the BP, but I do not have a degree wheel handy for the RE.

If the garage is cool, I could have pics up tomorrow for ya.

 

Lol. I was like "Hey, I got first and fifth now!"


Then you told me you didn't bolt it all the way. I thought I almost saved the day haha.

 

My new shoes for the FD were sitting on the front step when I got home!!

yup That is what I have planned. Won't take long to blow them out. They are already on cords!!

Maybe you want to swing by the shop later on saterday around 5 ish and video as well. Or at least have fun watching me rape some tires and waste some 4.23 gas Should be good for a 1/4 tank i would think. I'll call you later about 3:30 and let you know what my time frame is if you are intrested. I'll have to wait for the GM to leave first. Everyone else shouldn't give a rip. GM might
