Not directed at Eddie...I just looked how other people mounted them as well and none of them seem to use the lovely stock locations that eliminate to drill into your car. Once I locate something to fill those holes the rubber stoppers go in it will be even better!

Hey California...GTFO and got to your own section! Ha, ha!

LOL...screw the stock holes...that's why I have a drill. Mounted that sucker so I could step on it. When you have as much power as me, you need that thing to be secure at speed LOL.

Now if I can only start the damn car again...

Kevin..nice quote.
Mark..Yes the Yakuza is coming for you...your GI Joe Cobra Zartan Camo is easily spotted.

My car.....is.....ALIVE!!!! Went ahead and started it 10 times in a row. The culprit...shitty ground wire, failing circuit breaker armature, loose positive wire.

Summation: EPIC failure on the power supply.

I honestly think 99 Spec lip, CF sidesteps, and a rear diffuser are the best, inexpensive, visual upgrades you can make to your car.

Throw in some suspension, mirrors, and if wings are your thing for a 2nd stage of upgrades...the car gets really aggressive looking.

What did I do to my Rx7 today? Nothing! Absolutely nothing because my car hates me! It turns over, sometimes. Other times it doesn't. Sometimes it has power from the battery, other times not so much.

Seriously though, I replaced the secondary injectors. I still need to replace the primaries which means the intake has to come off. Fun. Some thing is terribly wrong with the wiring in my car. The previous owner had remote start and an alarm and it was wired all retarded.

I do want to say thank you as always to Andre (dres customs), Jake (who doesnt have an account on here), and Sam (dont know his name on here). Hopefully next to time we can get it fired up.

I slapped my new turbo manifold from Rotaryshack on the block to see how it would fit. Now I just need to rotate my turbo housing to get the drain @ 6:00


Here's to progress

Checked on the status. Hopefully idle issue is a question of bad circuit breaker and idle relearn.

Tranny mount bushing was TOAST...completely busted...tranny angled down about an 1" from where it should be. Probably the source of the difficult shifting and vibration. Skip shift elimination in.

Should have her back by this weekend.
