poor pics but you get the idea..rough needs a real body person to tweak it..someday when the whole car gets repainted.

Not sure if I'm sold on the look yet but needed a change after seeing so many cars with the FEED sides.

 

Do you want to try my CWest sides on it?

Also...today:

1) Oil change
2) Re-tap RW Elbow that had bad tap job for my FRIAT.
3) Installed new rear suspension components. Will most likely do fronts tomorrow.

 

Eddie, those look pretty nice. They look like they flow nicely with the car.

What would you be doing with your FEED sides?

 

They have been claimed already =)

 

dont forget to put the front on jackstands so both front wheels are suspended otherwise its a major pita to switch out the fronts.

 

Gringo is going to try them on..sorry 007

+1

 

No worries! Just thought I would ask, I plan on ordering some here in a few weeks.

 

Looks good Eddie....

BTW... I drove my FD 65 miles yesterday doing a photo shoot with 10 other RX7 owners... GREAT day...

 

I'd say it was a great day. Can't wait to see pics of that!

 

Hey! I just noticed that you finally got to tap something lol.

 

Yea Kevin got to tap something and I got my nut off(separate events). Things are looking on the up and up!

 

LOL good to see you guys got the inside joke.

 

Began relocation of old cig lighter to din below stereo.

 

Replaced all fuses. My heat now works again...just in time for 20 degree weather tonight...wtf Florida? Plugged in my speakers again for the trip this weekend. Put couple back on that had blown off the y-pipe causing lack of boost.....well....still was getting .3psi lol!

 

haha pwned

 

troubleshooting why car not starting...grrrr...

 

Is the key in? I kid I kid. sucks yours always has this starting problem. You check the starter harness?

 

Too bad it isn't reliable like a rotary! Also check to make sure you child didn't dump a handful of grass, dirt, and leaves into your engine bay! Haha!

 

Tried Unsuccessfully to fix my fuel pump wiring

Tried Unsuccessfully to fix my secondary turbo leak

SUCCESSFULLY! Did the White Cluster Backlight mod :-)

1 out of 3 isn't bad

 

Battery charged, starter works, fuel pump works, I don't think I'm getting spark. I tried to pull codes but reader can't talk to PCM so thinking PCM isn't getting juice.

Need to check 12v ignition, batt, ground for the PCM.

Also need to check crank sensor.

2 weeks ago it fired up all day long without a hiccup.

Gringo: leaves, dirt are clear...sorry about that LOL

Just as well anyway, my leg is killing me and I can barely bend my knee to drive...still hoping to get the beast started and hopefully pain subsides for Sat.

 

new wheel and ****.. but my WB went out







PS: Eddie, stock headers? stock sparkplug wires?

 

Got the scanner to read the PCM...no codes pulled.

Key in IGN on position, I have all power and good ground to PCM, fuel pump came on with key in this position.

My PCM doesn't have much slack in the passenger side so moving it around to see the connections pretty much involves my head completely in the passenger side with mini-light so my old eyes can see these tiny numbers. As I'm moving the PCM around I hear my fuel pump go on and off a couple of times...3 times to be exact at the specific moment I was moving the PCM around. WTF?

I look at my fuel pump wires, PCM to fuel pump wire is connected by 3, yes 3, blue plastic butt connectors. I fixed that problem so there is only one connection soldered and wrapped. After that, no more random fuel pump on situations.

Found one black/yellow wire that had a nick in it, like it was pinched...fixed that. After that, good power, good ground, fixed some wires...time to start it.

 

NO START.

I pull a spark plug boot off to check for spark, get the wifey to start the car... F'in STARTS!! Shut it off, put boot back on...STARTS!
Now it was running pretty rough...hunting for idle all over the place.

Scanned and pulled code 650 for MIL circuit malfunction...no biggie (I think?)

So I drive around the neighborhood for at least 10 min. Died at a stop when I shifted to neutral to let it idle. Started after 2 tries...drove around again, died going into the driveway. Started again after 2 tries, parked it in my driveway in idle...stood solid in idle at about 850-950, no hunting. Volts at 13.9 - 14.5, fans kicked in at temp.
Scanned again with same crappy 650 code (I removed the check engine light from the FEED cluster a while back)

Sounds just like it did 2 weeks ago, so I'm feeling pretty good. Drove into garage. Parked her. Said a prayer that she would start tomorrow.

Huh? Whats the puddle in the driveway....son of a b*tch...I have f'n coolant leak now.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear I had a rotary again lol....sigh...

 

yours is worse than a rotary :P

v8s should idle around 500-600, or wait how aggressive is your cam?

Mabey you have a issue with the engine harness? check for some crisp wires?

 

Mild upgraded cam so RPMs about right at idle..running a little rich. Outside of the pinched wires on the PCM and the cooked CKS wire...looks good so far.
