HA HA HA i am a cheap bastard when it comes to my phone! But I really wish I had one that day! Or at least a good camera

 

Hey all, just letting yall know that I sold the RX7 to a local guy at Hunter. Angel will probably post on here if he hasn't already. He said he has met Naga through an aquaintence.

I leave for Afghanistan, but will be looking for an FD roller to cut up (cage, tub, etc) so I can race it. I didn't want to do that to my car. See yall at the end of next year!!!

 

Sorry dint read that question. But yeah it's about the correct amount of oil. Should be until it comes out the over flow port.

 

Angel Gutierre is the name.

 

Lol. Appreciate it anyways.

Show Off - Sucks to hear that you sold the FD. It was really clean. Good luck out here in Afghanistan. I have a few more weeks until I return back home.

 

I'm the guy Show_off is talking about. I'll try to post here often to get to know some of you guys. Definitely need to meet some of your smart folks to help me since I'm rotary illiterate.

 

Question, need to purchase a new fuel filter. Where can I order one ? Searched all over the fourm and no luck.

 

You can still get them from mazda... want me to have my parts guy order one up?

 

Oh yeah ..I still haven't ran across that master cylinder but if I do its yours.

Good to meet you angel

Sorry for your loss mark

 

Are you the same person that works at Hilton head Mazda? Heard good things about you.

 

Hey guys, putting together a FD track car, so we're looking for these items, preferably in VR, but condition is more important, as we'll just paint over it:

All for the left-side (driver's):

1) stock front fender;
2) headlight cover;
3) gas cover/lid;
4) rear quater panel;
5) bumper

I also have a SR Motorsports SMIC w/duct for trade as well.

Thanks,
:-) neil

 

I dont even know if there's one near Ft. Stewart lol possibly in Savannah. That would be awesome though. Would you ship it out to me ? Thanks for everything your doing for me man.

Angel - Welcome dude.

 

Yeah it would take you about an hour to get here. I can ship it though. Just pm me with your info and we can pay for it over the phone and we'll ship it out to you.

 

Yeah that's me. Thanks

 

yea mfishe12 is awesome lol.
So question, is there a difference between the tII and na dip sticks? dont know what reminded me but the dipstick you sold me is shorter then the one that i have in my car.

o yea did you get the turbo back for bates fd?

 

I know the guy you are talking about but thats not me. I ran into that guy today and we talked about the confusion between me and him.

 

wat is this i dont even

 

should have it any time now...

 

So I've played around with my PowerFC for about a week now, and I can't seem to get the idle below 2K. I've bought the tuning notes on yahoo, and I've tried my best to adjust the idle. I think I understand all components which effect the idle and I am adjusting them properly. The adjustments I make only seem to vary the idle by about 500 rpm, 2K being the lowest. From what I've read on the internet I've come to the conclusion that I must have a vacuum leak in the lower intake manifold. I bet there is numerous vacuum leaks because most of the system is pretty stock.

Anyone with more experience have any input?

 

I guess I would start at looking at all your vacuum hoses and check for leaks. To me that's what it sounds like.

 

Have you tried adjusting your TPS? Take off your UIM and look around for any hoses that are unplugged.

 

If your gonna start searching for vaccum leaks, maybe that would be a good time to start replacing some of them, just my 2 cents. I know there's a little phillips head screw by the passenger strut tower that might help. Helped me with my FC.

 

Yes I've adjusted the TPS. Voltage reading are showing correct in commander.

 

Replacing all of the vacuum lines will be my next move. I am sure they are long overdue. Where is the phillips head screw you are referring to? Are you talking about the Air Adjust Screw which is located in the throttle body, or the primary throttle body adjustment screw? If so, I've tried to adjust both, but they don't take the idle anywhere near where it needs to be.

Also, when the PowerFC is going through the learning phase the idle will drop down to where it should be, around 1K. While the ECU learns to idle it bounces from 1K to 1.5K. Once the learning phase is over the idle sticks at 2K.

 

hey guys havent posted here in a long time. first of all id like to say congrats danny on getting your money back. sucks that you had to go through all that. next id like to say that im goin single turbo in my fd when i get back from deplyoment and have most/all of the twin turbo stuff for sale. also have ac and power steering stuff for sale. if interested just send me a pm and ill get back to you asap.
