when a car is in perfect balance it means that if you put each tire on a scale, each tire will displace the same weight. the total of the four numbers = total weight of the car. if a car is out of balance, it can be fixed by moving things around ( battery, spare tire, passenger ) or adjusting the suspension. eastcoastbumps would know more about the principals than i do, ask him lol.

oh okay so its more than just having the wheels and tires balanced its more like having the total weight of the car distributed more evenly right?

99,600 miles, N/A, 5 Speed, looks semi decent atleast from what i can see in the pics... maybe this will pan out to be the next rotary car for me.

the intake will add 1hp lol. the stock intake on an NA is really good, most people recommend not changing it. save your money for spark plugs and wires, i would do those lol.

Anybody ever realized this thread is like the New England's 4Chan? That's terrible.

We talk about RX7s, welding, RX7s, Izzy whiping out, RX7s, Izzy's hots for Jeff's cute yet underage sister, RX7s, corner balancing, PIIDB, and of course, Rick Astley.

Never gonna give you up... never gonna let you down...

So I've figured out why my car is boosting retarded.

Remember I said I'm hitting 6 psi max? Anybody wanna take a guess at what our wastegate spring pressure is rated at?

The stock boost control solenoid is not working properly or is ill-hooked up due to my PO being a dumbass. Izzy and I will be removing emmissions from my car sometime after the meet (That way if we **** up I still got to take my car to the meet!!) and I will be installing and self-tuning an AEM Tru-Boost 2 in one Gauge and Boost Controller.

For those of you who don't know, I plan on pushing the stock pump, injectors, tmic, and turbo to their limits and improving on each system that starts to fall behind individually. A larger TMIC, meth injection, a hybrid turbo, an fd pump, and larger secondaries are all on my mind .
