OK. I was thinking maybe we could meet you at the avenues mall early in the morning and get it done right there so you dont have to drive. I will bring a detailer friend so we can get it done in about 30-45 mins and hopefully do another 2 or 3 cars. IDK how possible this is or if there will be room or an area to do this. Maybe we could find another spot.
I was also thinking of removing the wheels and cleaning them in and out for an additional charge for those of you with nice aftermarket wheels.

I just remembered. Im missing the most important tool, The polymer. I hate using that wash & wax detergent because this will guarantee the need of a water hose. I can do about 4 cars in the middle of nowhere with 1 gal of polymer and water mix
I need to source out some polymer. I might have to go to my old job. hehe.
I will PM you when i get this polymer. IF not we will need a place with a water hose. ANd the avenues doesnt seem like it would have a water hose we could use.

The condo is located on the Southbank next to the ChartHouse in San Marco so we would be about 20 minutes from the Avenues Mall.
Another idea is to call Sears at the Avenues and ask for Jimmy in the auto store. He is the organizer of the event and he might let you use their hose which could mean more business for you.

Oh nice, my crew and I laid out all 40 floors of that building for over 3 years right out of college. Loved that job. What unit are you in? I may have ran the crew that finished it too haha.

Thanks for the tip SuphaG. As for the injectors... low imp 550's came in 87 TII's only and maybe some early 88's? IF you do find them used.. I wouldnt trust them much. They are way old and most likely in no better shape than yours. Try sourcing some rc's or maybe just go with 2X 720cc's.
Sam RX7: Im not 100% sure if I still have it. BUt i think i have a factory s4 top mount laying around somewhere.. Also an s4 altenator.. I also have a pair of 4 pot tII calipers.
As for the EFI stuff. I have no job so the car isnt getting the haltech installed yet. SO That will be a while.

So basically I just had to cap those in order for the car to run like normal. Since I tinkered with by putting new injectors in, added a subzero block off plate and replaced all vacuum hoses with new silicone ones, the car has been running worse. The new injectors pintle cap area is a lot more narrower compared to the old ones. This causes it to be loose where the insulator goes around. I'm thinking vacuum is leaking from those injectors. Stupid me, I threw away the old pair of injectors. Can't test my theory out now unless I buy some stockers.
I tried putting on new pintle caps that comes with the stock injectors onto the new injectors, but they were too big. I also used a 10 mm silicone hose to make new insulators. I might try making it more thick this time around, but it's also hard to make the cuts straight.. >.< Also for the subzero part I used the old gasket, which is a big no-no. I'm going to use some black rtv to seal up the block off plate. I hope this can fix it..
Sorry for my long novel lol.

My condo building (The Peninsula) is available and we could use the hose outside of the building or in the garage. We could caravan on over from there.
The condo is located on the Southbank next to the ChartHouse in San Marco so we would be about 20 minutes from the Avenues Mall.

INFO PM'ed
SUphaG: Your New Injectors endcaps are diff size then the originals? Weird. Care to share what brand and where you got those? What exactly were the cars symptoms before you replaced the injectors?

The injectors are Beck/Arnely. The endcaps are the same length, just smaller in diameter. So it's narrower compared to the stock injectors. I didn't think it would of mattered, but it might.
The symptoms before replacing was rough idle and stumbling on light acceleration. Typical vacuum leak symptoms and it occurred suddenly, so I should of caught onto it being a vac leak... Now it's not idling and same stumbling on light acceleration.

Glad to hear to that David and good luck to all you guys registered for tomorrow's show. I'm in south florida visiting my girl, but hope you all have a great time! Greg I'm counting on you to take some good pics =P
Also, been seeing more 7s on the road lately and I think I saw Pete's FD yesterday. Not sure if it was him because I only met him once and that was 2 years ago, but it looked like his white FD. It was at a "Pit Stop" gas station on Phillips around 12 in the afternoon; white, large exhaust, wingless, and not sure of wheels but look like BBS.
