sup guys, let me introduce myself here since my intro thread never seems to get posted for some reason. Im Alex and im new to the rotary scene.

I grew up in El Paso and in 10 days i'll be moving back to el paso since i just finished my enlistment and decided not to re-enlist. I have a 94 RX7 with a few bolt-ons and eventually want to do a single turbo conversion. But as for now it's going to remain pretty much as is since i mentioned earlier im not in the military anymore so i need to find a job haha.

I will be staying in the northeast around hondo pass and dyer area so if anyone sees me drivin around feel free to say was up.

 

Post pics of the car lol

 

here are a few pics:

 

preskryption7 Nice 7!

 

precryption7, are you on crucestreets.com?

for those wanting to tune, lets get together and put things in motion. i am just waiting on my haltech so i can wire it in and do this......anybody here a good wiring person? i hate doing that **** cuz i can't solder wires worth a ****....

 

nope i'm not on that forum yet.

 

Someone on there woth same name....also has a 7.....strange coincidence...

 

FD's in El Paso are becoming like Hondas around the world....common

Still want one though, nice FD!

 

Fixed........

 

damn, well i hope to see some FD's when i come home to el paso in a few days. I've only had the pleasure of seeing one montego blue one w/ a 99 spec lip and a front mount intercooler coming out of one of the gates of Ft. Bliss. really nice btw. wonder if anyone here knows who im talkin about. A picture of the possibly same FD im talkin about was tagged by TSI's facebook page, im sure that's the same one i saw.

 

Thats funny cause theres like 4 of them that actually get drove. About 9 of them total. Definitely like hondas. It is a nice car for sure. You'll have to come out with me and Tito sometime. We go out quite a bit in our cars. The montego blue one you are mentioning use to be mine and now belongs to tito. It is the same one tagged by TSI. Picture was courtesy of me.

 

Man, you take every chance you get to mention that Tito's car was yours...

 

Rican, im gettin my REW rebuilt in the next few weeks and am switchin to PFC with a 35R so ill def need a tune, and what haltech did you buy? Painless makes a badass racing harness thats pretty much plug and play and easily useable. Keep me in the loop on this.

 

Platinum 1000.

U got time to get set up. Check ur pm's.

 

damn 9 fd's in el paso, that is quite a bit. hell yea man im down to drive around w/ you guys. I have a few things i have to install on mine before i take her out nothing big just new radiator and a slightly larger intercooler but it should be ready to roll by the first week of April.

 

9 fd's in el paso? Really??

 

if you need help holler at me man.

 

Thanks man, i'll let u know if i run into some trouble.

 

So i thought i blew my motor. But after sanding the car to prep for paint.i went to drive it around (needed more supplies) and everything held up fine. Oil pressure was solid, and the temp gauge never spiked. i am still smoking like a 4 alarm fire out of the exhaust pipe (white/grey smoke), but i think it might be an oil issue within the twins since thats where all of the underhood smoke is coming from.

Thoughts?

 

Blown oil seals in the turbos. Very common.

 

Better to blow an oil seal than an elephant seal.....

 

Starting yet another tear down of my car tonite.....new ecu going in, replacing a spun bearing, and some other goodies i got sitting on shelf finally going in....

 

Need to get it running. Mine runs, just burns your eyes out for the moment lol. Its got great oil pressure though

 

It'll be running soon. Just waiting on a new set of bearings, should be here by wednesday. Gonna have everything clean and ready so its just a bearing swap and slap it all back together with a few beers in between.

 

Ready for surgery....and beer....
