Yep, this is the official thread for the Sacramento/Elk Grove meet at Exotic Motorsports Garage.

Date: Saturday Sept. 4th

Time: 6:00 PM - whenever everyone has left AM/PM

Location: Exotic Motorsports Garage PM me for the address


Unfortunately food will NOT be supplied so feel free to grab something to eat on your way there.

I must also ask that you not invite multiple people who are not a part of this board as I don't want any street racer ricer's attracting attention. 1 or 2 friend's is fine but please ask me in a PM ahead of time


If anyone need's any small thing's done such as timing adjustment's, TPS adjustment's, idle adjustment, troubleshooting, etc... can be done there during the meet.
Any major work needing to be done can be scheduled in for an appointment at a later date as well, so feel free to ask.

Here are a few teaser pic's of the left half of the shop...

 

im there people who don't wanna get lost meet me at rpm by 530 ill be there at 5 so let me know we leave at 530

 

dam my car is so close to being done, guess i gotta finish it up and show up as a suprise

 

what do you have left to do

 

so your inviting ppl to a shop to have their car worked on? (I haven't been to a meet in awhile but is that what were doing now?)

but on the serious note, I could really make it to this meet....assuming I can put in my koyo rad by myself haha

just noticed your going V8, we've lost another one....

 

1st rads are easy to do 2nd he hasn't had a 7 for over a year

 

It's just a little get together for everyone to hang out, talk car's, share stories, good ole car guy time's.

Hopefully you can make it, you have a very clean FC that would make for some nice photo's inside the shop. That is if you don't mind of course


I have a 240 Z now ....the 7 blew up and was scrapped over a year ago...

Yep, V8 because the only way to make the same power from my L6 is by moving to japan and becoming best friend's with the local Z car tuning shops and maybe they will share some secret's with me after about 20 years....

Other than that i'm looking at spending about $25,000 in just engine work to get 280 rwhp on a cold night if i'm lucky and then I could never drive it around town because it would get crap for fuel mileage and be all high rpm peak power.

Turbocharging is not an option, a turbo L6 is just a ticking timebomb waiting for your worst day to come along so it can then go off and make it even worse. Once you figure out a good setup you will need one of the high dollar standalone ECU's and a water/meth injection system to keep the detonation at bay while under boost due to the poor design of the L6 head's.

 

you can take pix of my freshly painted 7

 

Yo if you need help just holla at me, I'll help you out no prob. Not too difficult.

yep, and i got most of the good parts

 

i got a a few parts from it and free suspension which i really needed at the time

 

oh btw I noticed you had a 240z i was just saying that because you seemed like you were going to build a Frankenstein L6 but now your going LS6 haha

but yea looks like I won't be making it to this meet now, just found another coolant leak (water pump started leaking on me when I started to fill the new rad)

I wonder if I'll ever get to drive my fc again =/

hopefully Sinone shows up in my place

 

water pumps are easy and sinone i don't think has posted up yet

 

yea it looks easy, but I don't have a clue on how to line up the timing marks or w/e

might need help ricer, how far is mack road from you?

also need to come up with the waterpump plus gaskets for now =/

 

about half hour and do you got tools and you dont screw with timing. timing is for the cas not water pump

 

nah I was reading on the shop manual your supposed to line the eshaft up with some mark or someshit

but yea I got tools and some, just need to hunt down the parts (prolly won't end up doing this for a week or so while I order the gaskets from mazda)

 

it doesnt seem like it would have be alinged like that

 

Your talking about pulling the front cover...

You only need to remove the mechanical fan and shroud, belt's, waterpump pulley, waterpump, then reverse the order for installation.

Quick and simple, a waterpump is only about $50 for a new one IIRC and the gasket is only a few dollars.

If you need a hand let me know, but it's a very simple job on the FC.

 

alright if you guys say so, i only thought it would be more of a pain in the ***, because i got ac and it looked like it'd be in the way...if not i should be able to do this myself i hope if not ill give one of you guys a call (i never expect free help either btw, so don't worry about it)

but yea i goto my info from the shop manual on teamfc3s (maybe i read it wrong)

sorry for thread jacking apex

 

txt me if you need help im free most days

 

No worries, glad to help

Cool.. I'll be there ..Now that My T2 is running and driving ..Just hve to get it past smog ,,But I'll get it there .
