Sounds good. Welcome to the family. My **** is running for once (Hoo-RAH!) even if I can't afford to put gas in it. So let's do it!

The RexEight guys are having their "little" shin-dig on the Dragon (Deals Gap) that weekend (Sept 7-11) and a lot of Seven owners are going, too. If you can get your car in time, you might wanna check it out. Here's a thread:

Didn't really want a vert, but beggers can be choosers, especially since my parents are GIVING me $1000 I lack to get it. (They knew how long/hard I had been looking for an RX7). On top of that I stiil need to come up with $200 for all the things I do to a cars when I get them. (oil, tranny fluid, diff fluid, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, alignment, brakefluid, adjustments, etc, etc) I would be able to let you guys know in like a week in advance due to work (server at shoneys ) But I make uber amounts of money for 16 taking into account the hours I put in. I was originally looking for the Mazda RX7 GTU coupe 5spd. But this guy being 70 some odd years old, it being a 1 owner with 97,928 miles (after test drive) I can't pass it up. All records since 6,000 miles, and all work done at mazda (even oil changes) . Like I mentoned, we need to have a meet, maybe a cookout at a lake or something where everybody brings something, and we all gain 20lbs (I'll bring the Tums, lol). But whereever is uberly cool, it's better than nothing. Sorry for rambling.

I'm all for a semi-local East TN meet. I've met bunches of fellow rotorists, but very few actually from here. I'm the white bridgeported Sport that looks all stock except for S5 tails if anyone has seen me around.

It's likely a halfbridge on the auxiliaries, but we'll wait for the owner to chime in

My car runs pretty sweet, but is still somewhat out of tune. I have severe boost creep and a leaky BOV that must both be replaced but can still be run as-is for now. I am about to install water injection. I have plans for the 3 bar map and a datalogger to play with the tune a bit and I should pretty much have it done. I do want to do suspension at some point, too.

I am also dealing with bad boost creep(stupid small S4 wastgegate) I dont know if they make the HKS Hyper D coilovers for the FD but its way to stiff a setup for the street on my FC.

Yeah, well, you have a stock turbo, which explains a lot. I have an hks 40mm wg which is almost 3 times the size of your stocker. It has an 8psi spring and creeps to as much as 18psi when I am not paying attention.

Suspension is the last area I will cover with this car, I want to get the tune/boost perfect first.

Full bridge thats cool. Have you had a chance to dyno it? What size injectors are you using? You dont see to many bridge ported 6 port engines. If you dont mind when does it start to make power rpm wise.
