What if you replaced it with an FD setup? I still have all my intake/tb stuff in boxes. I don't even know if it would fit.. but I'm trying to clean out my garage anyway

The apex seals set properly, and now the car starts. However, I'm sure it has a blown coolant seal, and the oil looks like it came from the lungs of a lifetime smoker.
I've not heard that trick before...My friend Ryan has a N/A that won't start, but if you push it, it will start and run. Would this maybe help his car?

Oh yeah, and the body is done on my 'vert. I called Thurs and asked if they had finished putting the factory pin-striping back on ... "um...not yet" was the answer...glad I asked BEFORE I went to pick it up

I agree! I finally have my FD in possession with plates and all. Once I get my permanent plates, I was hoping to make it to a cruise and meet some of the local wankel nuts. Hopefully me and wifey can make it if there's any other planned meets near the area.

Tofuball is the man with a plan. He has more rx7's than anyone I know. (five or six.. cant remember) and he knows how to work on them.

Plus he's a really nice guy and gives very very reasonable prices. Even willing to barter sometimes.

That's cool man. I work right off 124 (in a neighborhood off brink rd). And you know Jason? His garage is right up in laytonsville about 5-10 minutes from there.

As for the engine rebuild, I would love to help but I'll be working all day and then I have stuff planned that night. Are you going to be working on it at all during wednesday or thursday night?

I've got other plans....

And since my RX-7 has been giving me **** lately (crapping out while i'm driving, running rich, fixing ****, etc), it's made my decision all the more clear...

So yeah, i'm dead serious.... 240SX and RX-7 GS for sale....

so you're finally getting the robotic exoskelatin that can turn into a car mode... good choice...

are you getting the extra jet mode too?



EDIT: it's probably just because it's getting cold and it's carburated... my corolla's been acting a little wierd too.
