Hello all,
my name is Clark, and I just picked up an '94 rx7 not to long ago, Id post pictures but it keeps failing my uploads...just wanted to touch base with you guys cause Im interested in joining your rotary club, make some new friends, and such.
I had a 1st gen awhile back and have been hunting off and on for a few years for a really nice 3rd gen. which I finally found
Well that should start it off, the car is in gorgeous condition with alot of high end mods. This is the link to where I found it, it has pictures and some info.

Clark_rx7

Thx, anything going on this weekend? or, I dont have a garage(little apt) but would like to hook up with someone with some rotary knowledge, maybe pull a couple of things and take a look at the condition of some of the internals... Ive never wished I had the capability more then now.

I don't know what is happening this weekend but if the weather is nice, anyone want to go to Bass Pro Shops on Saturday evening? I would enjoy seeing a bunch of the other rotary crew at the event.

Welcome clark.

What's happening at bass pro now? I'm supposed to go to the shooting range with my friend, but I would rather go to bass pro (seeing as how its closer). Plus tomorrow my dad and I are putting the front bumper back on the '79. I just need a good battery and inspection and it's street legal again.

Can you remove the plugs?

Clark_rx7

I dont have the tools, also I have to remove alot of things to get to it, and Im not comfortable enough with getting in thier w/o thinking Im gonna mess something up.

Clark_rx7

which ever the case, I gotta get this thing back up and running soon. Its my daily driver for about a month until I can get a cheap little gas saver. Else my command is gonna be pissed that I bought it :P

All you need to take off is the intake elbow in order to get to the plugs. If you don't want to take it off, you can actually remove the plugs from underneath the car. You'll just need a rachet and a plug socket. Know a neighbor with those?

Anyone local to Clark got some tools and free time??

Clark_rx7

there is high volt msd ignition box right in front of where I need to go. underneath may be my only option, but there is so many mods on this thing its ridiculous... nice but right now I wish I had a good open path.

Clark_rx7

also I really need to tune my A/F ratio but Im not to sure how through PFC,
the LM1 says Im running like 10.7 at idle... This car is way more advanced then anything Ive ever messed with before.

Rich can help you with a street tune. That's a bit beyond me...

Clark_rx7

if anyone comes on that is around VB... please call me 360-632-1779, I know you guys dont know me... but I have a 7 in need, Im gonna try and see what I can do about going underneath, I tried pulling the fuel pump relay and dry it out but that didnt do it either. Is it possible my fuel pump is cut off? I guess I wont know til I pull the plugs.

Clark_rx7

so I got to the plugs from underneath but I cant get to the leading plugs, I need a thin wall thsocket, also I didnt realize that ngk makes special plugs for trailing and leading so Im gonna have to check which ones I put in the trailing side. then I try this

Really? I've never had an issue using a regular plug socket...

Clark_rx7

looks like some jackhole used a shortened ngk plug, it was single spark ol school style so its probly been there along time due to the complexity and lack of thin wall sockets... which after failing to find, riding around with a friend, I bought a rotary tool hehe "rotary", and grinded down my own for an hour and a half... I felt like I was doing some right of passage. I ran out of daylight before I could jack the car back up to get to the second lead... Im dissapointed that someone had let those lead spark plugs get into that condition for so long... it felt like permanent carbon deposits on the tip. So I gonna get up early tomorrow, finish removing the second, lead take back out the trails and continue with deflooding. Hopefully Ill be back on the road by noon...If not Ill be shopping for a cheapy. I really hope she fires up after this kinda day...
