It's much more rewarding when you learn how to tune and set up your car by yourself. It just takes time and practice is all and you have to start with the basics.

After reading all the advices and tips in here I went today to make some marks on my pulley and also ordered the timing light.
This was the first step before removing the pulley:
When the pulley was out:
When the pulley was finally installed back again , this picture is to show how the marks look on the pulley, the engine was fired before this picture and it started right away so I guess the installation was correct
All I need now is that timing light to arrive to continue the fun with the car.

Took the car yesterday for a ride after setting the timing suggest by Jay and I can feel the difference for sure, the car pulls harder and smoother now
Jay I rechecked the timing yesterday after driving it on the streets to confirm my settings and I saw that I am running 25* with 0 split @ 4000 rpm like you suggested before on this same thread.
I guess that when I was messing with the timing on saturday the engine was not at its full operating temp and maybe thats why I got 25* leading and 15* trailing BDC @ 4000rpms??
Now all I need to do is get a full exhaust system and take her back to the dyno/track and see what happens, I have a feeling that I will get good numbers
Thanks,

Yo real nice tread my boy, it's really coming along great. I remember my cousin had a starlet with a chevy small block. He use to drag race it back home at St. Croix it with his friends back in the early 90's. Thats were I first saw a Mazda Rotary vehicle back in 91.

Looks good Emir.... the pulley too.
Glad it worked out well and my 30 minutes of typing didn't go to waste.
Now time to save up money for an Air/fuel meter and start playing with jetting/tunning.

Ordered an Universal Muffler 2.5' from RB that will arrive this week, so I will redo the whole exhaust maybe by next Saturday. I hope they are ultra free flowing Mufflers
Going to order on Monday a pair of MSD Blaster 2 Coils(MSD 6AL is up next)
