Hey nice to meet all you guys! This was a good session, I figured out some things I need to work on with my car and got a more stable tune.

Awesome meeting everyone.

Nice seeing all the RX-7s in one spot too.

Thanks to Chris "toomucboost4u"(again) for your expertise and troubleshooting. When you open your shop, you will have my business and pretty much anyone else's in the Bay Area with a rotary.

With my very tired injectors maxed out, my FD hit 295 hp and 252 lb/ft at the wheels.

dvd i think we were all surprised with your car too - and thats with those old plugs...

that sucks

Yeah i guess everyone was right about me having to just get a tune. I was soo close to selling the car but after the tune it totally changed my mind. BIG TIME. I guess I drive like a granny too much to realize how much power my car had.


my mods are:
97 motor
non seq set up with blockoff plates with the precontrol wired open.
ebay intercooler
m2 downpipe
rx7store midpipe(thanks allen)
racing beat dual tip exhaust
powerfc
avc-r
and a borrowed hks ignition amp from josh for the tune.

Nice getting to meet everyone... Hope all had a good time I know there were a couple disapointments but honestly after attending around 6 tuning sessions in the past two years a would say this one was pretty successful even though we had a few hick ups. I know its hard to keep up with the maintenance on these cars but if you do they will treat you right... Hopefully next tune my car will hopefully be done but I keep saying that... Everything is in place now and I pretty much have all my parts so its about that time... Well good luck to all you guys and Juicy when I do open my shop you are more than welcome... I know its hard to keep up with these cars...and when you do decide which way you are goin hit me up and Ill see what I can do for you... Later guys..

Chris
