You might want to try using some SeaFoam. I've used it before and I can't say that I noticed any difference (which could be a good thing), but it's worth a shot. Search around for it's use beyond the typical dump it in your gas tank and fill up sort of thing. I think one of it's uses involve pouring a bit directly into the rotor housing via the spark plug holes. Another option would be the "water treatment." A scary concept to say the least, but it involves pulling a vacuum line and letting it suck in ~1 gallon of water. You have to have two people for this sort of a treatment though. The car will idle like total *** and you need someone to keep on the gas just enough to keep it from dying.

The suck it in method is a lot of fun. Go get the liquid version of seafoam and pull a vacuum line that sees vacuum from behind the TB. Next dip the vacuumline into the bottle of seafoam and use your otherhand to modulate the throttle to keep the engine running. You want to suck up about 2/3 of the bottle using this method. With the las 1/4-1/3 of the bottle just drop the tube into the liquid and let the engine stall. Then just let the engine sit for 5 minutes.

When you try to start the engine I suggest stepping on the gas pedal like you were de-flooding. thats because the engine WONT start at first and if you dont cut the fuel you might actually flood the engine. After to have cranked the engine for a few second give it gas and be prepared to give it throttle if it has a hard time starting and running. Its very likely that you will get a LOT of very black smoke coming out of your exhaust. Thats all the carbon burnign out of your engine. thats the fun part. Drive the car are pour huge clouds of smoke out of the tail pipe. When it stops smoking take it home and change the oil. Oh, and its more like a pint, not a gallon.

BTW: Have we decided where we are staying for DGRR? if we are going to stay at Fontana does anyone want a roommate? Im clean and I dont fart a lot.

This is exactly why Phillip should be banned from posting when he's tired; I didn't even think about just using your other hand and controlling the throttle. I think Eric is definitely used to his car pouring out smoke. Everyone remember the missle attack by Frankie's Fun Park not too long ago? I almost lost control I was laughing so hard. Sorry Eric, I had to have a laugh at your expense.

Now can someone help me with my clutch question?

JKM

Damn, FD clutches are expensive. On the FB and Miata, you can pick up Exedy (they make the OEM clutch) kits for 100-150, for everything.

Sorry I can't be of any real help though.

Are you talking about Raleigh or Fayetteville this weekend? I might just drive Buck's truck up there if the car isn't running cause I need to bring Josh's wheels back up anyway. Which body kit did you say you were getting, the Mazdaspeed right?

About getting the seals unstuck...Rich is a real good guy and very knowledgeable rotary mechanic, so if he says water is OK I believe him. Hell, I'm running water injection someday anyway. But, I will look at the seafoam option though. Where can I get it? Rich told me to have someone keep the RPMs at about 2K also, to keep the engine running while putting the water in, but I didn't think about just using my other hand on the throttle cable either.

Phil, if you're just going with stock parts for the clutch you might get better prices at Mazdatrix...

I'm fairly clean and I DO fart alot...ALOT!

Yes I am used to it pouring out smoke, but it's white smoke most of the time. BTW Phil, what's it like having NO turbos?? LOL, sorry, had to. I honestly don't have a problem with the smoke jokes though, and I LOVE the cruise missile comments, lol. And I LOVE those JP cars, I wish I had one. Maybe that'll be my new paint scheme.

Any body wanna hang out in Raleigh Cary area im up here for training and dont know much about the area.

I8U

Rawley bra! And yes the Mazdaspeed kit.

JKM

Oh, I brought up the link posted and it came up with clutches for a 93 RX7, not an FC.

Hell, that means you can probably find a cheap Exedy OEM kit, or just go with an ACT street strip for about the same price as an OEM clutch at the dealer.

^Oh I didn't even notice that. Well, maybe he CAN get it cheaper at Advance or somewhere then.

Alright, as if last night wasn't bad enough with the car breaking down (oh yeah, we were at a light while towing it home, and I could swear this guy in a nice RX-8 that pulled along side shook his head as he was passing me, haha), I had a bad night again. Kinda had some words with some Dairy Queen employees...but I'll tell that story this weekend. It's a gem, I promise you that!

technonovice

Seems like he has/had owned an FD.

darktritium

OK. The link I posted is acting spastic. I have an '86.......thing. (I don't think anyone knows the trim of my car.)

So are you saying that if I can put up with noxious gasses that you need a roommate? And I lied. What I lied about you'll have to figure out.


I swear it, if I dont have an answer by saturday as to where we are staying im going to be the most annoying *** about getting an answer at char grill. I promise

Haha, that's a good call, but I don't know if he was actually shaking his head. It did look like he looked back though, like "holy ****, is this what I have to look forward to?" haha.

Well, if we stay at Fontana Village, I don't have a roommate yet no, and I'll try to keep the SBDs at a minimum. As far as WHERE we are staying, it might still be kind of a touchy subject still since the big argument was only a couple weeks ago. I for one would still like to stay at the mansion, but if everyone chooses to stay at Fontana Village, or even go camping, I'm down for whatever. I just had alot of fun last year and would like to do it again. I hope I don't get scalded for speaking my mind again. Tell ya what, if you still want to stay at the mansion and you want to stay out of the whole argument thing, just PM me and I'll take a head count and if we have enough people to make it worth it, those of us that want to will stay at the mansion and everyone else can stay wherever they want. I don't want anyone to think I'm putting a gun to their head to stay at the mansion, that's not what I was doing the first time either but whatever. I guess I should put a deadline on the vote so I'll say by Feb 1st (since some people may not check this thread for a while). So PM me by Feb 1st if you want to stay at the mansion and I'll see how many people we have, and I won't mention any names so no one can get mad at anyone else. Actually, if I can get a deployment after the inspection next month, and/or if my car is down for an engine or whatever, I won't be going anyway. But we'll see what happens.

And no Phil, I don't know the trim of your car either, sorry.

PerkyStina

The clutch will work with any N/A motor... including the Convertibles, IIRC. Your trim won't affect the clutch choice, since you have an N/A tranny.

AntiVenom7

can you put a TII clutch on there or are there problems?

anewconvert

iTrader: (1)

TII clutch is a different diameter than an NA clutch and wont work without a TII flywheel and pressure plate IIRC. Rotaryresurrection.com has a very detailed writeup on the differences between the NA and TII tranny's. I know for a fact you cant just put a TII clutch on an NA tranny. It might be that its impossible period de to different splining.

Jesse: I've been pimpin your car to some people I know, but no one seems to have any money right now. Maybe since it's getting to be tax time you might have some better luck.

darktritium

I guess the drive is up in the air. I'm still having my swaying issue because of a lateral link on my driver's side. I also need to replace my clutch.
