Talking Happy Driver!

Halo!

I`am finally getting somewhere with my Rx7!

After more than a year,of patience ,hard work,lots of support and many bleeding nuckles.It is finally running great!

It started with rebuilding and porting the 12A.(The engine was open 3 times in a single year!)Then i moved on to the exhaust manifold.I spent a long time with designing a new one,from scratch.The final step was to get the Nikki tuned properly,and fixing the 22 year old dizzy,which was a bit irratic.

I think it will be ready for a Hp test,with a Gtech meter soon.

I would like to thank the following people :

Carl ,and Dennis For the endless hours of support.The quick replies to my emails.Allso for showing great interest in my unusual way to do things!

Kallie,from Rotrix in South Africa ;who supplied the Mazda parts,and helped with the final engine assembly.

Cheetah performance Exhausts:Who spent 5 hours building my exhaust manifold,with nothing more than basic drawings to work off.

My Girlfriend,and Family,who didnt loose faith.They supported my 24 hours a day.Guys,you were great!

Lastly : the forum members,who often had to answer the dumb questions i had to ask




Cheers to all of you!

Halo!
For those who dont know : I`am running a drilled Bridge.(Aka Cheesport)
Instead of opening the extra port by porting mine is made by drilling various holes.It has a double row of holes for each port.

Thanks guys!

I have to give a big round of applause for the guys who helped!
