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.

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!
