Hey if you can find someone that wants a GT35R and is willing to pay enough to help me pay for the replacement turbo then I'm up for it.

But I would be happy with 450rwhp for now because I need to get used to driving that thing... 450rwhp in an RX7 is like...dangerous

That is, if I can get it started. I think I'm going to just get a starter from Curtis and have the existing one rebuilt at some point. It also needs a good wash. It's been sitting under a tree for a few weeks.

In order for me to hear over the motor I have to turn it up so far that the interior like the rear compartment covers start rattling...

But when I come to a stop light I get to enjoy the sweet techno beat.

My friends think the RX7 is annoying loud. But I think it's only annoying if you don't have one...

I've thought about that... factory gas tanks don't have good enough baffles to handle the fuel delivery needed through hard cornering right? Is there a way or type of tank that you can get that is like a fuel cell or has foam in it that would fit in the same place as factory tank and use any pump?

Well I meant a tank, fuel cell, whatever... can I get any kind of 20 gallon tank that is able to do that but won't be sticking out. If you haven't noticed... I pride myself on the cars original look both inside and out...

How does that foam work and is there any chance of it getting into the pump?

Furthermore how do you get it into the tank?

Sure they do. The baffle in the 3rd gen tank is actually quite large.

The real "race" way of solving any intermittent starvation problems for fuel is the use of a surge tank. That's, however, an impractical thing to do on a street driven vehicle.

this is a special foam made for gas tanks, it does not come apart or anything, and its not going to clog your pump or anything. and its real easy to install, just pull the fuel pump out and it goes in through that hole. if you need some its $10 a brick (you will need at least 2) I can bring it out to the meet
