well...... went for our monthly run with josh, sam,edgar,kory and his bro, manny, and one more i cant remember his name, and all was well till i had a mis hap, not doing anything crazy, just rolling at say about 40-45mph, i guess i dosed off or something, and smashed a mail box. yeah im a little sick about that myself. it smashed my windshield and ripped off my mirror. oh well, i guess it happens to everyone sooner or later. i have never had issues with smashing cars up, but im guessing it was telling me it was time for some needed restorations. to bad it was a 6 month old windshield

Well guys i hit another snag with the se today, I went out to crank the car (tried to yesterday and the starter just clicked so i figured the battery was dead.) well i tried again to crank it today with the dodge hooked to it and it still just clicked. so i rolled it off and it started up nice and ran nice, took it for a lil drive and when i got back, cut it off and tried to start it again with no luck. so i rolled it off again and drove it again and brought it back and cut it off and noticed smoke coming from under the hood? couldnt see any leaks just a few residual things...any ideas? I am thinking starter is gone out if anyone has one.

you could take a good battery with a set of cables with you under the car and hook it to the starter and see if it spins over....first making sure the ca r isint in gear.....10 times.....or pull it off and take it to advance and have it tested....if I had know there was going to be some dukes of hazard type **** I would have tried harder to have an rx7 on the road

DJ You can also try Ray Crowe @ Malloy Mazda. 1-888-533-3400 They are a dealer but Ray is the parts manager and owns Rx7's. They keep just about everything instock for FC and FD If not, they can have it within 2 days and shipping is usually only 10 bucks. I paid 12 shipping when I had my FD front fender shipped
Awsome guy to dwal with, knows the part #'s by memory for almost everything.

WOW, did not realize there were so many rx owners in the area. If you guys need a place to hang out, feel free to crash our cruise ins and shows. We have 2 cruise ins running in Mooresville right now. Every Tueday night at the CiCi's Pizza and every Saturday Night at 'The Pit'.

Do a little night time driving for a change...and maybe find some roads with fewer mailboxes....and trees......

Just got done sanding all the "little" parts from the engine bay. The brake booster and m/c. The clutch master and slave, the hard pipes for the heater line and brake booster. Also the battery tray. They all got a nice coat of POR15 to stop the rott. Then tomorrow they get a coat of high build primer, sanded, and sprayed gloss black duplicolor high temp. The radiator shrouds are also getting this tomorrow, I am too tired now to deal with it. .. But a stupid dancing show may be on TV tonigt and will motivate me to get the hell back outside

Kory, On the 2 GSL's that I sw today, they both had a/c compressors. Are they the same one as the SE? It had hose attachments on the rear of the comp. And you already got the cops called on you...? Good job!
Good job!
