Sorry but I'm getting too old, too fat, and too bald . I'll stick to the GT series. Is it just me or does it suck that you can't race the caterham seven in GT3 ?!!![/QUOTE]
Hey, its all on PS2 so once I finish whooping up on everyone with my 3l33t strumming skills(yea right) we can pop in Gran Turismo and I can beat you guys in that instead (with my ultra grass driving skills)

 

dammit, that rogue /quote just ruined everything and when I went to change it, the site goes down.

In 4 you can race it, but not in competition :P You have to choose one of the tracks sections. I feel ya though, you get like 50,000 credits for having a GT3 save game on the same memory card and I spent it on the Caterham, so it ended up leaving me with less money for a car I could use than I would have started with without the bonus. :P

 

I couldn't afford to buy another car right now, and with 5 in the driveway already my wife would beat me

I'll get the VIN number and production date for you tonight probably, the engine is a normally aspirated 1.6L DOHC, auto trans, and the engine family is B6. It's the same block used in the 1st gen Miatas, and the late 80's 323's, but the 323's were SOHC and the 1st gen Miatas use an entirely different ignition system. (I guess Early Miatas used coil packs with a Cam pickup? The Capri uses a regular points distributor, mounted on the end of the intake cam, with an internal ignition module, that is a high fail item, and the cost to replace is like $300)

But it's the same engine family as almost all the 4 cylinder Mazda's from back then, like the B2000 - B2600 trucks and such. Same B, different displacement :P

Quick list of what's been replaced:

Plugs, plug wires, head gasket, ECU(PCM), Distributor, MAF Sensor

What's been checked:
cam timing, distributor timing, coil (using Capri forums guidelines, can't measure the KV), fuel pressure, timing belt

Runs perfectly up to about 4600 to 5000. I remember reading something about a particular thing the computer does around that RPM, like double firing the spark plugs or running the fuel injectors wide open or something like that, and that's where I bet the problem is, something like the '3800 rpm' hesitation on the RX7, but I'm lost as to how to look for it. Everyone on the Capri forum seems to be of the "You fix it and I'll sign the check" variety, and I can't do that for a car I spent $1000 on. :P

 

I dont laugh at cars.

anyone else for a monday meet?

 

where and when? i am game. There is a car meet (with every other type of car) that is in plano on monday nights too...

 

we use to meet at the grapevine hooters, but anywhere is fine as long as there is beer

 

makes no difference to me because I'm always working at that time

 

sounds good to me

 

where do you guys wana meet? dallas grapevine, somewhere else???

 

I work till at least 9pm M-F, so I'll prolly be counted out.

 

sorry about the "quote" screw-up. I am still learning to use the features of this forum. Besides that I am loosing some short term mem.......what were we talking about???
Oh, and I would try and make any other group meetings. I had a great time when I had my 69 convertible 'stang with a 94 efi 5.0 in it. If I knew how I would post pics. Hell, I haven't figured out how to set up my avitar yet.

 

kennedale...........

 

kennedale..there has got to be a hooters down there or something, then we could do the airport cruise or make a run up to the meet in frisco. of course we can always meet at a different location, dallas or ft worth

 

There is a Hooter's off I-20 right around the corner from the track on the Arlington side, but, thanks to ex-Mayor T Vandergriff, they cannot sell beer.

 

no beer = no Rx7 meet there, maybe we can just meet at the one in addison

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, but if this is the hooters i'm thinking of... yes, they cannot sell beer.... but they can give it to you free of charge. But you're only limited to like ..... 3 or 4 mugs.

 

I know they used to do that, but I didn't want to say anything in case they've been forced to stop...

 

well pick one, so we can start a thread

 

how bout hooters in grapevine they sell beer right?

 

I don't think I've ever been there, even though I live right down the road basically. Hooters always made me nervous. :P

 

lol! how bout we just meet at some strip club then haha

 

You know.... you're almost too perfect for your own good

 

I am fine with a strip club, so long as we can sit in the VIP section
