remind me again.. you've got a new motor in the car now and you're breaking it in? but you also have a vac leak somewhere and the car doesn't want to idle?
where did you get your motor?
#36
it came with the car when i bought it sooo long ago. the receipt i have for it says its from cp racing. actually the car could idle when me and corey set the idle to 1.5k. but the idle would just keep rising as the car warms up, and the throttle response is even worst than it is now. right now the idle actually jumps from about 200 to 1200. it is just that it can't do that for a long enough period of time. my battery died from all the starts at stoplights, so i decided to just never let it die by giving it throttle. we also lost the spring for the tps somewhere in the engine bay, so we are using a piece of metal to hold it as far apart as possible. the tps has nothing to do with the jumpy idle htough, since it had no effect when we disconnected it.

yeah, its really nice so many people offered me help. the rx7 community is so nice and warm . but yeah, i have an exam tmr, have a few errands to run after, and still living in a condo. can't wait to move to pararama next month. so right now isn't a gd time yet. actually i am quite happy i am actually driving, though i am getting poor from the gas haha. also have a feeling my turbo needs a rebuild........full boost at 4000rpm. from wat i heard should be 2kish with exhaust and intake. hope there'll be more meets, seems like when i was driving the tercel i see so many rx7's, now i barely see any .
#42
i have an uneven weight distribution between my left and right hands. if only the extra weight was on my right hand, then the extra weight would be in the center of the car during shifting. we really should have left our cars running to help rid calgary of mosquitos. at least max's haha.
#43
I dont think I've ever seen an RX-7 blow that much exhaust out of it under acceleration. Had to turn on the wipers due to the soot. Being a convertable didnt help much either.

I had a pretty good time at the meet.. Good to meet all of you..
Max's car... wholly crap, what a stink bomb...
Cruising home I was 5 maybe 6 cars behind and could barely breathe. That car sounds SOOOOOO wicked though. That 3rd gen sounded really nice to, but nothing compared to that half Bridgeport.
I would die to go in a ride with Max or Chris...
HAHAHA
Amazingly enough I didn't get bit once by any mosquitoes... suckerss

Was a good meet. I did get bitten about 5 times though. Stupid mosquitos. It was nice that the rain kept away for the most part.
Not sure if anyone is interested, but I took some pics with my dinky camera phone. Quality is brutal but you get the picture.

Nice pictures... I like the one with all 3 gens beside each other. To bad they weren't all white though...
Next time someone will have to bring a video camera and just shot a small vid of everyone curising by.. Would be kinda neat..
