Does anyone know anyplace locally that cleans/rebuilds injectors and has a quick turnaround? I believe mine are starting to leak on the FC- it's flooded itself three out of five times in the past 2 days and there isn't always a hill to park it on to bump start it

 

Not sure about a local source. Witch hunter has quick turnaround, just have to ship them.

You could band-aid it for a bit by putting a kill switch on the fuel pump positive wire and **** the car off by turning the fuel pump off till it dies. This eliminates all the pressure sitting on the injectors while the car sits. To crank it, turn the key to get the motor spinning and then turn the pump back on via the switch.

Thanks, I've heard of them before. I was wanting a local place because I have the Ranger up in the air with the transmission out to replace the clutch slave... I guess I'll get that running this weekend and then pull the injectors on the FC and ship them off.

And I recently discovered that on FC's there's a relay under the dash on the drivers side that is for the fuel pump. I figured out exactly where it was last night so now when I turn the car off, I hold the revs around 2K and then unplug that relay and let the car stall out. I need to wire a switch in there but I don't want to hack on my dash just yet...

 

I used those witch people for the injectors in the jeep, very fast turn around and they saved me a heap of money. Only one injector wouldn't clean and they replaced it with a matching unit, all for about $100, as I recall.

Is anybody else boycotting the The National Rifle Association-sponsored NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend besides me?

 

Already got my tickets, flying out this evening.

 

Ray, I boycott all NASCAR races

 

Yep, I hear you Kevin.

Watching fiberglass decorated roll cages play bumper car all afternoon isn't a great use of time.

Anybody want to take a bet at least one person gets shot at the event?

 

Ray, you may disown me. But, I went down to Atlanta Motor Speedway, this past weekend, and rode around the track at 175 mph. Pretty cool. I learned 2 things.

1) AMS is alot smoother than I-85
2) My fuel pump makes more noise than a NASCAR.

Hope the fuel pump is all better now. The plan to fire the Blue One up tonight and see if any of the stuff I did to it works. Gotta have it all pretty by Thursday.

 

Put those rubber bumpers you got on the fuel pump mounts, would you? Don't want to disturb the wildlife up there this weekend.

 

Ray, help this guy out on his rast nest. He has some questions on missing vacuum hoses.

The Blue One roared (purred) to life last night. Early indications are encouraging. No fuel on the garage floor, no obvious exhaust leak, no fire from the new relay, the fuel pump was whinning nicely. I think it will be a big improvement. Now to finish up wiring and installing the new Air/Fuel meter tonight. Tomorrow and Thursday morning are reserved for beautification before the DGRR.

2013 DGRR weekend was a whole lot of fun.

Several of us more seasoned and wise owners of 1st gen RX-7s (Mike, Tim, Robert and me) took refuge in a cabin on the hillside overlooking the lodge:






The view:















There was a bald eagle soaring overhead:





Here's a little video action on our way down to the dragon:

Great trip to DGRR. OGTA was well represented. The Blue One got spanked pretty good and liked it. I did not know my car was so kinky...

 

I was going through some of the photos from the photographers along the dragon and came across Robert... hah

 

This made me laugh so hard I hurt!!!!!!

This is what I get for being too stupid to gas up while we were killing time at the gas station!!!!

 

Is that Robert, hitching a ride up to the Dragon?

 

Hey, Ray, you need to teach me how to post pictures to this site. I have some from DGRR, but I am picture posting illiterate.

 

Get a photobucket account and upload them there. Then use the links provided with the photobucket picture (the photo address) to post it here.

Or email them to me and I'll post them.

 

i use photobucket as well. or u could click the 'go advanced' under the quick reply box at the bottom, then scroll down to 'manage attachments' to upload straight to this site.

 

Hey Brett, under what heading did you find me hoofing up the dragon, I want to buy a copy and cannot find it.

 

4/20/13 from 3:06 to 3:08 PM! I almost didn't find it!... http://store.129slayer.com/
