Thanks Allen, I guess the wait was worth it. Next time I run I'll make sure to get some vid. Hopefully I can break into the 7's in the 8th mile. The next 1/4 mile event around my area is not until next month.
I think Reyes, is running the stock first get rear link setup. It's similar to the rx2 but uses the watts links.

Thanks, you have been one of my inspirations. My heart sank when I heard you crashed your car. Defenitely one of my favorite all motor cars of all time. Go the OLD school! You don't see many all motor cars anymore let alone Old school ones'.
Thanks, Aaron.
Thanks, Aaron.

yes it is. its the factory four link on the '85 rx7 with grannies adjustable uppers and lower. and manny i know the pinion angle has nothing to do with the kick out but when i try to adjust for the kick out there is a really bad vibration coming from driveshaft. thanks guys and jay keep us updated on the car good luck with it.

Hey Manny, I ported the **** out of my intake manifold. Sorry, I couldn't just clean it up, I got a little crazy but it looks really good. I'll post some pics of it soon. I still have a little more porting to go. The stock manifold runners are way restrictive. I think I'll shave a couple tenths off my time just by the weight of all the alluminum I took off. LOL

Ok, I still have alot of work left to do. This is rough cut and then smoothed out with 40 grit. I still have to take some more out of the openings as you can see with the black marker and scribe. I think I freed up quite a few ponies as the stock runners/casting were awful. Here's some bad pics. I tried shinning a flash light in one end so you can see the flow better. Tell me what you guys think. I'm open for pointers.

Ok ready for a trip to the dragstrip again. I finally finished porting my intake and it turned out really nice. While I was doing that I had my 48IDA converted to 51 and also modified to use 55dcoe boosters and customer velocity stacks. I also had the float bowl enlargened and reamed both fuel intakes. Going to start it up in the morning and do some quick street dyno tunes and then take it to the track to dial everything in this thursday or next. This time I'll get some vid. I'm hoping to get into the 7's in the 8th. Wish me luck. Here's a couple pics of the carb.

I am saving up for the aerospace 5 lug conversion front brake kit and then the front runners. That's about 1200.00 bucks away that I don't have right now so the enkies will have to suffice until then.

Forgot to tell you guys. I took the car out and made a couple passes down a long street by my house to check the tune, slicks and all. Damn, I'm way rich now. My afrs are very low 12's all the way to 10krpm and my egt temps are low 1500degrees! I thought with all that airflow from the carb and intake porting I would be way lean but I guess the larger 55 boosters made it run rich. Even running this rich the car pulled really hard especially on the top end. Going to take it to the track this thursday and finish the tune there.
On one of the runs I pulled into a little shopping center to check my EGT temps and there were people flying out of shops to see what was making all that brap brap noise. I love it. Glad there were no cops around, it would have been hard to explain the no interior and slicks.
