I dunno what dye works the best, I've never tried it. Whatever stuff was used on my carpets fades when I vacuum it. Not a sign of quality dye.

Well, what are you doing Wednesday? I'm On call that day but usually always means I'm off. If you wanted to come look at it you could.. I have pictures that I guess I can PM you. I'm not asking much.. actually I'll ust let you make an offer because I don't expect much.

Sounds like a good option. The Cheese has been through it, it might be less work at this point just to swap everything over.

Sounds like a grand idea to me, better body/interior. Though any idea on the next meet?

I haven't heard anything from the guys who wanted to do this whole "6 meets before DGRR" thing so I dunno. I think we should wait until the weather stops sucking. I want 70 degrees back!

Does anyone else think the Florida people need their own section? Seems like Miami-dade encompasses half of the Southeast on this board.

depends on how my fixing goes....I need to fix the exhaust leak and switch the wastegate springs... if I get all that done... I should be able to go.

Haha, nah I don't own a tow company. I've never had a problem with reliability with my rx-7. Only thing I have to do is add coolant all the time becuase my radiator leaks from that plastic part. Anyway, brillo and I guess to anyone else that may be interested. I have never driven the gold FB. I bought it 'with a blown engine' hoping that it was just flooded. Turns out the engine is locked and that's as far as I got. So, I think everything else in/on the car is fine. I'll PM you the price though and more details.

My N/A is good to go on reliability. I feel for all those TII people. They may own me in a race, but I'll laugh when I pass you because you're on the side of the road...

My TII just has a crappy battery and I can't afford to keep putting gas in it, that's about it for my problems. I'll be up for a drive when tax money comes.

Read this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ight=hot+start

battle cattle

awesome info... sounds exactly like my car. I just found another problem.... my battery dies overnight. I also found out that if I remove the neg lead on the battery and place a Multimeter between the lead and the battery terminal I get 12v..... WTF! so I need to pull apart my wiring and see whats up.

LizardFC

That's a lot of thread, I think I've seen that one before. My TII used to have a bad hot start issue and it eventually just went away after I drove it a lot. I still get it occasionally in the summer.

I read somewhere about pulling the EGI fuse rather than shutting off the car. That way all the fuel burns up, thus preventing flooding. Anyone ever done that? Wouldn't work if your hot start is due to leaking injectors.

LizardFC

iTrader: (1)

So you're getting +12V off of a chassis ground?

battle cattle

yea.... weird I dont know how either..... I get the same +12 from the + and - terminals off the battery.....

Every time I turn the car off I cut the power to the fuel pump and let it run out... So you think it might be leaky injectors? Before I try the ecu thing?

My5ABaby

iTrader: (7)

You can prevent flooding by revving the car to 3000rpm and then turning the key to off. Or use a fuel cut off switch like me.

Anybody know of a good electronics store?

Radio Shack sucks. I went to Shields Elect\ronics over on Middlebrook and they can lick my nuts. They wanted $1.50 for a $.20 capacitor. They also have the worst service of any store EVER. I stood at the counter for 5 minutes and several people walked past me without even glancing over. I'm a patient person, but wtf. I finally went over and loudly asked the guy there "helping" someone else my question. Asshats...
