You need to update us all on your 2 RX-7s. What have you done to them?

well...went to adams time attack...... car was all messed up... heres my list..hahahaha

1. acd failed and stuck open..so everytime i turned, the clutches slipped and the motor would just revv, then catch, revv then catch (acd is my active center differential)

2. my new clutch is not letting me shift into the next gear in higher rpms..so everytime i shift, it takes me like 2-3 seconds per shift vs. 1/2 second shifts..bluh!

3. the person who "fixed" my car forgot to put the bolt back in my front motor mount so everytime i got on it the motor lifted


but with all of that crap.. i pulled the new track record of 49.4 ....i know i can pull low 48's when she is back in her former glory we shall see..... i set my new goal for 47.9

I really have not touched the convertible or the Knightsports S5, I have been turning all my attention on the new member, the RED rx7 so I can be like you. I want to fit in at the meet when all of those red RX7's showed up including yours. The pictures you guys took on the run had just a sea of red RX7's and I was jealous. I always wanted a RED RX7 so I was lucky to pick this one up for cheap. I will post some progress pics when I get a chance.

It is a N/A, I will be going heavy on the body mods, susp and interior but not so much on the motor. I am saving that for the TURBO FB PROJECT, shooting for 400 RWP.....
from a RE cosmo motor.

Hey Casey you plan on coming to the Sept 12th meet?, I most likely will be in the Vert.

I was going to go to Adams this Tuesday, because I haven't been out for a Time Attack yet, but it looks like other plans just interfered unfortunately. Hopefully next week before school starts!

Nice upgrade Rob, I can't wait to see it in person.

robert that OMP didn't work so it must be a wiring issue, though i don't know how since all stepper motor control and position sensor wires are on connector b 03 which was left alone when making my harnesses. It doesn't matter since I shipped my ECU to Digital Tuning this morning.
Matt if your still looking to sell your tail lights bring them to the next meet and I'll grab them up. I know we could of had them shipped but I want to see them before I buy.
