Hi everyone. I got back from Summit Point late last night. Had a great time at the race track. One of my students was a member on the meetup site. I will post a writeup as soon as I get time (and internet connection back). The weekend had a few incidents, but not with anyone we know. I met a few people I have known online for a while. My car ran fine, but it gets really crappy fuel mileage on that track compared to all the other tracks I run for some reason.
Monty. the 78 RX7 has a 4x4.5" (4x114.3mm) bolt circle. It is very common as it is the same as a H*ndi Accord, 4 bolt Nissans/Datsuns, 4 bolt Toyotas, many old british cars and even some older GM and Ford cars (60's-70's cars). It is also the same as my GSL-SE first gen. It is farily common.
Friday at Langley. I heard from my autocrosser friends. A few of them went over there and from what I heard they pretty well kicked ***. Shawn in the yellow and black Miata won the time attack, setting a new track record, and the Dustin an Jim were in the final in the A-main, with Dustin winning in the 2005 Mustang GT.

anyone have any good tools for porting out a wastegate? Started trying with some drill bits yesterday but failed. Thinking of trying with a dremel next, but have to buy some new heads.

Hey guys! I'm from Richmond, and was just checking in to see if anyone here happens to have an s4 turbo manifold they could sell? I'm also looking for a BOV if anyone happens to have one. Thanks.

Calvin, not to be rude whatsoever, but all FBs, excluding the GSL-SE of 1984 and 1985 had a bolt pattern of 4x110. It was only the last two years of the FB, in the SE model that came with the 4x114 bolt pattern.

Ok guys, read what Monty was asking. He asked for bolt pattern for n 87.... I typoed and transposed the letters (I am dyslexic...no joke) and typed 78 .... Sorry... I know that all 12A FB's are 4x110mm and MY wonderful GSL-SE's are 4x4.5"=114.3mm, same as accord, Nissan, Toyota, etc....

Hey everyone, don't forget Saturday !!!!!
Hampton Roads Mazda Rotary Car Club September Meetup
Last event we started out at Awful Arthur's then went over to
Jenro's. At Monty's suggestion we will start out at Jenro's and
play it by ear from there. We will get there about 4:00 PM and
whoever gets there first, try to save parking places for
everyone else. That means it is important to RSVP so that we
know how many places to save. So please try to RSVP and let us
know if you are bringing a car.
When:
Saturday, September 16, 2006 at 4:00 PM
Where:
Jenro's Coffee House
1085 Independence Blvd Virginia Beach, VA
Virginia Beach, VA 23455
(757) 460-0444
Notes:
If you have never been to Jenro's on a saturday night, you
have been missing out. It is a big car show with typically
maybe 200 cars every saturday night. It has attracted national
attention for the regular turnout they get. Most of the cars
are older domestic muscle cars, but our club had a nice
presence last time we showed up.

hey whats up doods? i have never posted up here. well, once asking about a fender question but anyways, i need your help!!!
Today i took on the challenge of replacing my clutch. to make a long story short, after taking everything off, we got to the flywheel. what did we notice? besides all the hot spots on it, there was a HUGE bolt holding it in place. we measured it and its 2 1/8". so it would be something like 55 in metric...right?
my question: has anyone taken one of these off around here? do you have to socket? where did you get it from? any help would be greatly appriciated!!!!
