Hey guys, just wondering if anyone would be interested in maybe meeting up and going out to dinner friday or saturday night as a group. If there is a better time just say so... BTW this is to all Huntsville and surrounding RX-7s (if anyone other than Mike Don and Chris are subscribed to this thread...)

Don is in NC at Deals Gap rotary rally this weekend. You should have went. Wish I was there also!! I am trying to go to the bridge street car show in the morning. If you go I will see ya there.

Dinner sounds good but lets try in next week or so. We could do Big Eds pizza!!!!

i'm down for big eds... just list a time and date...

Waiting to here from Don his car got hit by hail pretty bad so I am guessing his car will be in the shop for a bit. So how many more passes did you make that night? I am going to start my clutch job this week so maybe I will be ready friday night. Let me know if you guys want to come out. I need some one to get some good pics and video of the car out of the hole. I am out of town the following week. Also going to Import Face Off May 31st if anyone wants to go. I have no chance but going anyway..LOL....

Hey dudes. Had a blast at DGRR. Beautiful weather, bad cars, and lots of rotorheads.
Big Ed's sounds cool to me. Post up a day and time (anytime after 6:30pm M-F). The 7 won't go into the shop till the garage is complete. Can't get it repaired to have the same thing happed again.
BTW Mike, I have your DGRR registration bag/T-shirt.

i'm thinkin Big Ed's friday at 7ish... sound good to anyone?

I might be able to get off early... Let me check..

by repaired you mean huge single turbo and 500 hp?:lol:


every time i get on here i get rotary withdrawals.... id really like an FC and do the 13bre swap...

thought you had a rx3? yank that na and put in that re full bridge-gt47....

yea the rx3 has the 13bt in sitting in it. my brother just has to wire it. but good news is his finals are over next week so he has no excuse.

the first gens need a clutch and we have the NA 13b out of the rx3 to put into the new $75 1st gen lol

I want a cheap 1st gen to cut up??????

they are pretty cheap.

there are alot that dont run in huntsville lol

let me know if you come upon one...

Make that 2... Denise says she wants a 1st gen.

yall jealous... i know... every body wants a first gen haha

how are the numbers looking the dinner thing... sounds like me and mike... cute i know... i'm thinkin' about just going to the track instead??... lemme know...

Go to the track.. My wifes grandma past the other night and she is still upset as they were close. She was 93! and still has 3 sisters alive, one 105 and twins 96! Thats some strong blood!!

So I do not think I will be going anywere car related till next weekend. I did get the jspec tranny and new clutch disk here. So I want to put that in asap. Track should be great tonight but very busy!

Next Friday as well. I've got so much I need to finish before Sunday. Hey Mike, did you check with your brother about the garage?

yeah. He said let him know. I can have him come by and look it over. He is good about giving advice and changes or how it would be best built.....

Mike, are you still coming down for the Charity dyno and stuff next weekend??

scrub dinner...

No... going to NC that weekend for my dads 75th b-day!! Besides they came back and said no wrinkle wall tires so that did it in for me..

man i tried the move the sliver 13b first gen and it wont start.. just spins.

all the times before this it would start no prob.


on another note. we pulled the motor out of our white street car miata and tore it down... i think ill take a rotary motor ANY day other a piston engine. but rebuilding... id imagine the piston engine would be easier less complex

ok never mind about the 13b. i pulled the leading plugs and sand blasted them, blew em out, applied anti seiz. put em in... and it started in the first hit.

saw a silver 1st gen getting a hooters car wash today???



Asked the wife about getting the sequia washed but she didnt go for it but the kids liked the idea!!!

haha women just dont get it.

Can't make it this Friday either...

I will be in deals gap this weekend....

600hp and The Gap doesn't seem like it will fit to well lol

Kinda a joke.. My dad lives in the area. Will be in the family car.... I gave up the turning stuff..

gave up the turning stuff..... i'm taking you off my friends list...

Nah, he didn't completely give up the turning stuff, he's just spending too much time on HSVracing.com

HAhaha.... taking the front sway bar and support off this week... Going to try and get the weight down quite a bit. Power steering next.

THIS IS TRUE!

if you stay on there too long you start lookin at v8 cars and wondering how much spray you can put on it.

I have always been a drag racer at heart. I never went out and bought R compond's for the auto x or such. Been thru nitto's DR, BFG DR and 2 set of et streets!! First car I had was a 84 gt350 then a 76 cobra II w/nos next a 91 GT before I went to rotaries... I will never knock the turning stuff just never really was into it. I like to feel HP and I think its pretty obvious what direction my car has gone.

If DGRR would have been a drag event I would have closed my store down for the weekend!!!!

and Gilgamesh.......V8 in my rx7 will NEVER EVER EVER EVER happen....... I have scene a few that were done nicley around but its just the easy way out for those that do not have the knowledge to do it with the rotary. In fact I believe the Hinson twin turbo solid rearend bulit to hell V8 is still slower by a good bit compared to the top roatry 13b's out there. I think there best pass was in the 8's were Timemachines 2nd gen has gone with 13b and IRS rear.....

oh i wasn't talking about v8 rx7s lol i was talking about z28s and TAs and such lol

i think you need to go to steele and bust of a 9 second pass thats faster then the you tube video of "noah's turbo ls1 rx7" and its a auto car.

once you get to where you dead hook id love to see you put to shame kyles supras time, and that v8 turbo FD

9's are so tuff from what I see on an FD w/ IRS. Seems I have the power but would need to loose some weight, get the suspension dialed in, add a 2 step maybe go with a solid rear. Going auto would shave over 1/2 second.....HMMMM.....

damn... just no motivation on my side to put the new clutch/ tranny in. jacked it up tonight then set it back down, then jacked back up again and said forget it and called it a night.. I got to get it done if I want to go to IFO may 31st..

Speaking of working on the car I got my water inj. installed. Seems to be working just from tests, but I haven't got to drive the car due to the rain to see if it actually makes a difference.

good you have the drive.. MAybe I need some Viagra! LOL....

Chris, I got my Coolingmist stage 1 kit Tuesday. I haven't installed it yet, but I have to get a few more components first. What kit did you get? Do you have any install pics?

I think it's the stage 1, it's the cheapest one they have $200. I don't have any pics, but you have questions let me know. I put the pump where the washerfluid tank was, and I put the tank where the battery was, and installed a switch under the dash so it's not on all the time. It was a faily simple install except for finding a place to put the pump, it was a good bit bigger than I thought it would be.

It came with a 500cc inj. which I found out yesterday is to much for 10psi ~300hp and straight water. It did cool the intake temps from 66c to 46c in about a lap at TGP, but it severly cut the power down and caused some stumbles. I do think 500cc with a 50/50 mix running around 400hp is probably ok, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll try to do some pulls this week sometime to see how it acts. It does use the 2qrt tank it came with very quickly.

So your Coolingmist stage 1 kit came with a tank for $200? Wow, mine was $200 but didn't come with a tank.

But anyway, did you install a solenoid at the injector? What about a return line back to the tank? I plan to wire mine in a similar manner except have the pump wired to a switch in the car and a solenoid at the injector wired to the boost switch. I had also thought about running a return line so the mix would continuously circulate when not injected since my tank and pump will be in the rear of the car. I just need to find a suitable 3-way solenoid to handle that pressure.

Also, how can you tell what size injector you have? I selected 361-500 hp on the order screen and they said it would be matched accordingly. I also plan to run 50/50 mix.

I actually got if off ebay from coolingmist for less than the normal price. It was cheaper to do it that way then to buy directly from them.

I just installed it as is. I do think you have a good idea going. It would be more instant and probably better for the pump if you could just let it run and have a solenoid open and inject as needed.

It says somewhere on one of the email reciepts it came with the 500cc injector. I told them I would be making around 400-450hp. You could always email and ask they respond very quick I've emailed them 2-3 times asking them about the kit before I bought it.

getting the drive to go run a mid-low 10 now...... Tranny clutch job starting tonight........

so I go for a walk today with the wife and on the way back up the driveway I see a 4-5ft rat snake on the side. Kinda spokes the wife.. No biggie as I grew up having them for pets and I told my wife when we built our house in the woods there would be snakes. But tonight I go to take the trash out and notice something in the diveway again... 2 copperheads!!! I had one of my boys with me and one of the dogs.. Sent them all in and catch both in a garbage can and take them over to Don's yard!!!!!!!! Have fun with them Don!

Ha ha... I don't like snakes!

shhitt you jump when a bug lands on you......

Back to life... https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...54#post9211054

So when is everyone going to be ready to do this again? I am itchy for a E85 tune and bigger turbo.
