Mike, just go to his website and drop him an email or call him. If it's out there, he'll find it for you. Surely worth checking with him about it.

Nick, don't waste your time with an A/F gauge. Just get a wideband for that. Spend the money on either oil temp or fuel pressure. Just my .02 as usual.

Zach

 

I'm going to borrow a wideband :P 400 ...yeah you're talking to one cheap bastard that's not going to buy one ;p

 

I could probably meet up with you guys on the 20th. I'm always interested to meet new people with RX-7s. I actually bartend at Tony Romas right down the street from there.

 

Sweet dude, can you give the hook up on the booze? haha
-Bert

 

Sure, but remember I do accept tips. I'm not cheap but I can be bought.

 

I'll have to stop by there and do some drinking when I get back home in November. It'll be nice to meet another rotorhead.

Zach

 

Hey look what these hands of mine have created

It's plexiglass sprayed black on the backside.

 

AH HA! So thats the fd that I saw at Tony Romas the other day. I was almost tempted to post about it and find out whose it was but now I know (and knowing is half the battle- sorry I had to)...

Oh yeah so...

hey live2drive was that you i saw in sonora tuesday morning. I was on main street in my 93 vr Fd and was passed by a MB r1 or r2. it was around 8 am.

 

Nope I have a touring and I wasn't in sonora on tuesday. Sorry!

 

The panel looks GREAT Jake!!!!!!! Of course I still have to do a double take everytime I see the FC shift **** in your car. hehe. Anyway, looks good bro, how long did it take you? Planning on putting some more gauges in there before you're done?

Zach

 

looks good Jake, but IMO lose the S5 shift ****...

 

 

sorry fella's I like my shift ****, lots to grab. It fits my big hand nicely. plus FD shifters are curiously overpriced even for a shitty *** used one. And yes I do plan to put more gauges in there. when I hit the lottery, why do gauges cost so much. THey are very simple objects.

 

doesn't have to be an FD shifter, i love my B+M shift ****... it's just that it sits so high and the exposed section under it just doesn't look natural.


and i am kind of excited about putting my light flywheel on after driving latch's car after his light flywheel installation. i love how much quicker the throttle response and freed up power is.

 

I might be able to get a deal on some gauges, what ones in particular are you looking for?

Mike

 

Boost gauge, air fuel, exhuast temp, coolant temp I just want some black ones that work properly Zach said autometer aren't acurate ;[

 

**** that autometer is good enough for me, i'm not paying 250 ******* dollars for a gauges that is going to be a couple psi (oil) off, I'd say in this case it really doesn't matter that much. Autometer seems to be fairly accurate to me, Normal boost pattern is 10-8-10 and I get that on the gauge. SO that makes my gauge inaccurate

P.s. I'm looking to get an OIL PSI gauge.

 

autometer is plenty accurate enough, though sometimes popping a sensor into the block and running the stock or another one in a different location will net different readings. i have ran autometer gauges before i will again. Defi are probably the best but most people don't have tons of money to dump into their cars.

 

I guess I'm just being a snob because I want everything in my TII perfect once she's done and on the road. Sorry for suggesting such expensive (but worth it) items.

Zach

 

Perfect? uhhh i wouldn't worry about the gauges i'd be worrying about your rusted front iron better start chroming that **** out *****!

 

I'm getting all 3 gauges Autometer cobalt..348 shipped 2nd day air. 20 bucks for 2 alt belts, 10 bucks in fuel/vaccum lines, still need thermal wrap for my new harness, 20 bucks for some paint (painting my front lip ), need some texture **** and black paint for my gauge panel piece...oh and some primer for the front lip and some for the gauge panel....goddamnit!!!!! why does all this little **** add up so fast?!

 

I just ordered a 99' spec front lip from rx7store today. Then next paycheck i'm gonna get an oil psi gauge.

 

damn dude I can't see myself spending money like that... which reminds me, need to pick up SAFC...
