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.

 

yeti, i could use the shell if it is decent shape. im thinkin of swappin to a better body. i have the primer black fb in pics above. thanks

 

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.

 

Yeah, floridians get all the good weather them buggers

 

Lets set up another meet date.. possibly even a drive. Gosh I need to fix my exhaust problems.

 

eh, he is the car for everyone. I PMed brillo but I figure I'll just post the album here.

A drive... in Rx7's... DO YOU OWN A TOW TRUCK COMPANY?

 

im down for this saturday. ill call joe and see if they are wantin to get together. yeti, that 7 doesnt look to bad in the pics. i might have to hit you up on that. pm me a price or possibly any parts you might need.

thanks guys
brillo

 

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...

 

i could probly come out for a future meet i lived in knoxville for a while but jsut moved back home but only an hour and a half no biggie, my FD will be outta tha body shop today so ill be looking out for the next meet

 

hey now...my t2 hasnt sat for too long... I flooded it one that kept her down for 4 weeks...but thats behiind me now. daily driven for 12k now.

 

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.

 

>.> i got 13mpg last tank...and a brand new optima in the bay...fuel economy nothanks.

 

woohooo new wastegate spring.... fixed the exhaust breakage.... shes puring like a kitten at 1k.... now I need to figure out how to stop the hot start issue and I will <3 my TII.

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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?

 

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...
