LOL Robert..my initial thought was that you spun out and then you went the other way.....running out of gas in the dragon was unheard of buddy =)

 

I wasn't totally out, as long as I wasn't pulling alot of gs there was enough gas for it to run and It worked out in the end, I was able to coast all the way back to the motorcycle resort for some gas, and here is the fun part, I kept up with a sport bike headed that way eventhough I was coasting!!!!!!

I dont think he was going all out though.

 

He was probably out of gas too.

 

Hey, a guy can dream cant he?

 

Spoken like a true glider pilot. And inventor of the 100 mpg rotary (downhill).

 

Any of you guys have a S3 left front strut assembly? I just got all my suspension apart to install my koni's, all to find out my left front assembly has been replaced at some point with an earlier model that is a 1/4" too short! I really want to make it to this next ogta meet!

 

When is the next ogta meet?

 

May 7th.

 

If you were still into FC's, I'd have plenty of strut assemblies that would work

 

Oh Brett, you should not have said that ^. Be prepared for the obligatory comment about how that's what FCs are good for, spare parts. 8^)

 

I saw a thread somewhere showing how to make a really nice pogo stick using an FC strut assembly.

 

anybody has an FB accelerator cable i can use???

 

Should be a spare one or two out in the shed Marco, you heading down to the May OGTA?

 

I plan on it Ray, let me know. i want to see if it will fit my rx3.

 

i think the rx7 cable is longer than what the 3 uses but should still work.

 

You didnt just get that car recently, did you? And if so, did you buy it from a guy named Miguel in Norcross?

 

Brett, I would install a tee into your main line connecting it to your return line. When the car is off it allows the pressure/fuel to bleed back into the tank. Mazda trix sells them or you can make one. If you make one keep it real small so when running the path it want to take it to the fuel rails/injectors but when off will bleed down.
Its a temp fix that I used a long time ago on a FC for more than two years.


Billy, I am real interested in this "**** the car off " if you can explain in more detail! Ha ha

 

If I remember right the old school fix was to put a nut in the bottom of the housing before installing the strut. Billy might can shed more light on this. If not I might have one around here and will be in GA in a few weeks for a few days.

 

The problem is the strut housing is too short for the insert. Putting a washer in the bottom would just make it worse. The passenger side strut housing is 15" and the driver side one is 14.75". If you have one, would you be willing to ship it? I need it asap as my car stuck on jack stands until I get one.

 

You didnt just get that car recently, did you? And if so, did you buy it from a guy named Miguel in Norcross?

 

I got it back in January from a guy named Tom in Alpharetta. The car has 96K original miles and has a Mariah front bumper.

 

And it's White, a definite plus.

 

We had an impromptu OGTA meet on the Friday run of the Cherohala Skyway at DGRR. A little rain didn't
change the fun factor.

Notice how those Old Guys always hang out in the handicapped parking spots?

 

Next Tuesday is the May OGTA meet. The weather should be good. Hopefully we'll see a bunch of rotaries out there and one Flipper.
