Hmmm...maybe I should get the evo seats now then...before we auto cross. Gahh I just dunno if I'll have enough for the injectors and stuff then...
Here's the deal:
I have $600. I'm getting $200 on Sunday so I'll have $800. $500 for the evo seats so I'll have $300. Still need fmic ($300) and Injectors ($250) if i can find them that cheap :S Who thinks I should just get the evo seats now and hope to god I can work for the extra (lets say) $300 to be on the safe side...by june when I plan on modding it all.
-Oh and Ben you think my turbo will be up to the challenge of auto cross?

 

hey is it cool if a newb comes to check it out. just picked up an 86 gx...be cool to see some people running their cars. havent had a chance to dig in and do suspension work so itll stay on the sidelines, but it would be cool to watch.

 

yea it is sad that some dealerships just don't try. i knew somebody who used to work at senator mazda and when it was time to schedule a class for the mazda training center, his manager just put it off and didnt want to send him saying he doesnt really need the training. i think he was just trying to save money coz the dealerships have to pay you to go to school as mandated by mazda.

 

Definitely come check it out, it's lots of fun. Even if you don't run you can ride along with someone during fun runs and that's a blast! If you are coming please copy and paste the Meet Info and Participant list and add your name to it. Thanks!

U should take it to Ricks Rotary or Karack. Dealers suck ***. How many miles did ur car have. I really doubt it was a vacuum line.

 

Hey guys sorry i havent posted for a while, ive been in the hospital and just busy. Anyways i just realized i can't make it to the AutoX, its my girlfriends graduation day. Well maybe after i can stop by, we'll see.

 

hahah....man dat sux bout ur 7...i wud be pissed too....but neways...u shud steal his ferrari and put a 13b-re in it.....lol.....good luck man....randy

 

why would he put a pos engine in a ferrari lol Ferrari engines are the best made.

 

B.S. ferrari engine's are not the best ever made, NA rotary's are. hahaha Slow but reliable. I doubt a ferrari motor would make it to 200k miles or even 125k for that matter.

 

a ferrari would be nice but i would hate to have to maintain the ****, adjusting valves, having to pull half of the car apart to simply replace spark plugs or plug wires, yeah right!

with performace comes headaches...

you can pump out 500+ HP from a rotary and if it pops you can rebuild it in a day...

far as your electrical woes Jake, are you sure you have all the pins in the right position in the connector? the oil pressure is a good indicator that something isn't right in the harness somewhere, the only way the oil pressure would read full high is if it was attached to a ground circuit or grounding out somewhere, so if it is connected to a ground circuit somewhere in the harness by mistake it could give you the result as well as the speedo and other guages since they are electronic sensors/senders. first place i would look is the connector pins to be sure they are positioned correctly.

 

Yea but the other guys didn't have to modify any harness to make their gauges work all they did was plug them in and it worked. I'll be lookin at it again tomorrow, although i'm not sure there is much i can do, but i'll try and make some sense of it. Weird that my passenger door would loose power too Oh well it'll get sorted out sooner or later, and it's not like it matters since my speedo is going to be off anyways from the rear end being changed.

 

heh, welcome to the world of swaps... nothing ever goes as planned.


it'll get sorted out like you said, with a little time and patience. probably just some simple stuff like a loose connection or something.

 

about the ferrari engine they arent the best realiablity wise but its a ferrari. U cant compare a ferrari with an Rx7 rotary. Apples and oranges. As far as a rotary pulling 500 hp, its feasible but most ferrari's make that stock, anyways ferraris suck *** too i like Mclaren F1s

 

I like Mclarens too! bad ***.

Miguel you are comin to the auto x right?

 

hey nick i wanted to get some info about that alt. if you can answer a few questions
1: how much was it
2: what else is needed with it (example) plugs or bolts etc.
3: when completely installed is it in the exact location
4: are they the same size like housing wise
5: do you know if my pully kit with fit and work with that
i really would like to get one, i looked into one that a company makes and it said high amp alt so i looked into it and it was a 70 amp hahahahha wow big jump rip off lol

 

also Ben i should be ready by next weekend to start putting everything back together
what are my chances of you coming over a few times and giving me a few pointers so i can get this done asap and correctly
not saying you even have to touch anything (unless you want to) but just some advise would be super

 

check the top of the 2nd gen forum Nick, silverrotor on these forums sells FD alternator kits. they have dual belt pulleys so if your kit has a spot for dual belts then it should be fine- the second belt that used to run the smog pump runs the alternator as well to prevent water pump slipping.

i'm sure i can get some time to come over and give you a hand, i should be finishing up Bert's motor at that time so depending on what stage i'm at at the time will determine how busy i will be.



and comparing apples and oranges is the right comparison between a rotary and a V12 but a more comparable car would be a 787B, we are comparing a modded affordable street car to a 1/4 million $ car. i wouldn't mind a fully modded RX7 or a nice stock Ferrari, but my wallet could only handle one, i'm sure you can guess which that is.

 

4 rotors -drool- and Nick, I dunno my lazy *** hasn't installed it yet. Like Ben said Silverrotor sells the 100 amp FD alts. Mine looks nice..just haven't put it in yet. And did you know that a little down the street from your house some bald guy has a Red na FC? He lives in the apartments and won't wave back to me

 

Well i'm pretty sure i found out what was wrong with my gauges, there was a clip hiding behind the a/c ducting and ****, that needs to be slightly modified and plugged in dur. Couldn't ever see it cuz it was hiding so i decided to look real deap, stuck my hand up there and found it. Bad news is i will probly have to take the dash back off. but that's not that hard.

 

i still am stuck on the alt.
i have a gilmer drive pulley kit so its not the same as the other pullies

 

probably not a true rx7 fan just driving it as a car
not everyone is ok with them just driving up to there house to talk car talk hahahaha that was so funny cause i seen your car for a month or two and wanted to talk to you then when you seen mine you came to my house lol that was cool

 

that would be awesome
when i get that turbo back i know you want to see it so i can bring it by and then also figure out if we could hook up or not but i cant wait to see it

 

bring it by when you get it.


here is some pics of Bert's engine rebuild process, i started on it at 2pm today, will begin teardown tomorrow:

 

Looking Good Ben. That harness thing didn't work like i had planned so i'm gonna have to run some tests tomorrow see if i can't get this thing workin right before i have to take it back to the tranny shop on tuesday.
