Hey if anyones interested I'm sick of looking at all these parts. I measured the wear on the plates and the center is good condition (within spec). The front and wear will most likely need to be lapped, I used a .0038 inch instead of .004 inch (which I don't have).

For $575 the entire short block minus the housings. which is:
All 3 plates
both C weight rotors (with old seals if you want them)
both stationary gears
oil chain, pump, gears, oil pressure, etc
front counter-weight
stock flywheel
Eccentric shaft with front bolt/spring
front cover
dowel pins
engine bolts
and anything else I'm forgetting

Let me know. I'm happy to show anyone in person who wants to stop by and see what you'd be getting. I'm right across from FL Blue on Gate Parkway/Town Center

I also have a few sets of FD Twin turbos (unknown condition - Came with the car so they're probably blown for $60-80 a set)
I also have a Coolingmist VariCool Water injection (150 psi pump, 1 gallon tank, and what I think to be a blown VariCool Series 1 Controller) for $140
One more thing, I still have that Prosports triple gauge center dash pod for $80

Let me know guys.

A month is not a problem, but we will need to find more people to make it happen. Minimum of 5. I had him remote tune my car last time but I want to see if I can get him down here first before I go with another remote tune.

Yeah I remember you and someone else had that remote tune session. I would feel better if he was here but I'm fine with a remote tune. I just need to track down an odd engine cut issue before I'm ready. With all the ran we have been getting I haven't had a chance to track down the problem. what was the total pricing it cost each of you, if you don't mind me asking. Just need to start saving.

Anyone have the fuel-pump wiring harness that goes from the top of the tank to the chassis to sell ?

Specifically, I'd even just take the harness connector with 4+ inches of wiring tail.

See item circled in yellow.

Thanks in advance!

For some reason it is hard to stay away from these cars. A lot more very clean ones are for sale nowadays.

I am thinking of relocating out to Jacksonville. I've read some reviews and they aren't too good. Can anybody give me Pros and Cons? Any input is appreciated. I will be going in January for a week to take a look and see if it is a smart move.

thanks

Like anywhere else it depends on where you go and what you do when you get there. Duval is a huge county and almost all of it is Jacksonville.

Anyone ready for some steve kan tunning? I'm ready- let me know if anyone is interested. If we have enough interest(4-5 people)we can bring him down to fl. If not we/I will have to do a remote tune.

I literally just got off the phone with AEM after sending it in for repair. Bad EPROM...they dont carry it anymore. But as soon as I said rx7 he said "oh its for a rotary I might have a used one floating around here, *hold*.........."okay after talking to about 10 people I found a used one from another repair, its the only one I have in the entire warehouse, I'm going to swap it out and put it on the test bench".

Just waiting/hoping it'll work. He did say he could get me an Infinity 6/8 EMS upgrade for only $1000. But at that price I might as well go haltech.

Its not under warranty and they don't carry Series 1 ems anymore so he had to talk to his manager about what he could offer me that would work with a rotary and given the software for the Series 2 he said the Infinity would work better as its has more tunability range. Its not plug and play. So i'm hoping they're able to fix mine with used parts because I don't have a $1000 to spend right now.
