It runs!

After months of frustration, being unable to find the cause for the ignition not working, my car is up and running!
Thanks to the guys who helped me searching for a solution, btw, the FD igniter did the trick!
The engine came to life today, and ran rather ok, not as rough as I'd expect it. Still tuning to do, and many minor tasks before it'll hit the road, but at least I can now start improving the current setup.
For those not remebering/not knowing what I have: a first gen RX-7 (1982) with Mariah mode 1 widebody and S5 TII. Custom 70mm exhaust and open intake are the only mods to the engine (and removal of emmision crap). It's running on a Wolf V3.1 and TII coilpacks for trailing, TII coil + FD igniter for leading.
It runs so now I need to finish the smaller things

It's a good feeling to get them cranked up. I hope you have fun! I like tuning at 170 kmph @ 7000 in 3rd! I found the mode with the O2 sensor across the bottom very useful! If you gradually add power and watch the O2 level if it goes too low call out to your mate to note the load and rpm the slow down and richen up that point and every point on that load curve for every rpm step to redline . If a point runs rich only touch that point! This ensures that you are always running rich. I ran a max of 12 deg at full load.


But just have fun, you deserve it!!!
