I was attempting to help you by saying he needs a new car in general, maybe he should get something and put a rotary in it like a 914

Now what to do with the SE if I get the 12A. Hmm. Anyone want it? I'll sell it cheap.
have u considered putting a carb setup on the se? if i wasn't so broke i'd take it off ur hands.

I could go FC, but Kevin's is readily available, and I can't beat the $2k price...

As for putting a carb on the 13B, it's also a possibility, but I don't know if it would fix my problem...

Looking forward to tomorrow everyone!
Yeah man, I'll be in the truck. I'll see y'all there, and I'm bringing an N304 GSL-SE ECU for Kevin.

Kevin, I'd go for fixing the SE, I can imagine your frustration with it right about now but if it was running before and it's just a fuel/ignition problem, that can be fixed. I'm surprised the people at MazMart can't figure it out. If it were me and I'd put that much effort into fixing the injection system, I'd probably be thinking it's time for an upgrade to a holley or one of those del Hortos, turn lemons into lemonade.

You guys bragging on FC's haven't seen the Silver One now that she's done. Once you see the Silver One, you will see the Light.

Those cup holders came standard in the 84/85 GSL's and SE's, nice that the Mazda folks had the good sense to keep them in the FC's.

Yea, the issue is that it will start, but it just won't hold idle.

I'm honestly not thinking the issues lies in the injection system, and neither does Mazcare. They're being super cool about helping me out, and they're trying everything they can think of. I'll bring them Crit's ECU just in case, but they're gonna pin out the system first to see if it's something wrong there.

I just hope I have a car for Sunday, I have a hot date, and possibly no ride...

I think I'm going with HTR-200's. After too much head pounding reading, it's probably the best choice and only $2.00 more than what the G-Force Sports were gonna cost me. Plus the reviews are better.

I really want RT-615s but they just don't come in the right size, so I can't justify my speedometer being inaccurate... That drives me NUTS! Especially because mine reads accurately to 80mph against the GPS...Sweet.. Past that though and it starts getting a lil optimistic!

COLIN, if you want/can come to the meeting tonight, just take MARTA up to Chamblee and be here by 6PM. Then I can pick you up, and drive you up there. We will figure out how to get you home. Maybe Collin wants to drive back to Midtown tonight.
