I know....what happen. Well, I'm no one to talk since I don't go to the meets either. I always end up having to work...and I'd rather be working so I can make all the money I can for my next RX-7 car.

At 72,000 miles, my car is starting to eat coolant, and I've got small puffs of white smoke at startup...

Who wants to guess how long I can go before a rebuild?

That start's at 72,000, I'll say 6,000 more miles to go. I really have no clue just a guess.

Yea, Emily wants to build a fc too. Its always good to gave a gf who supports your habbit, let alone want to get in on it too. Although she wants a pink one though. She saw one st seven stock and liked it.

Also...Jesse, do you work on suday. We were thinking of coming by for some tats. \

no....the orange is my color....... hers is gonna be white..... its the factory color, so its gonna stay that way (but right now its flat purple, dont ask!) im either gonna put a R magic kit on it, or a nice s5 lip w/ r magic sideskirts and rear extensions....

yeah, its great having a girl who understands the addiction, and is willing to involve herself.... shes actually excited!

scott...... i say 10k miles left (w/ granny driving)

If dave is building your motor ask him to hook you up with some really really nice looking hoses for cheaper than samco and much much better. The velocity stack, eh is that for looks? I'd rather just run a filter then a horn and who knows what can go inside the turbo, you can also just get a generic velocity stack online, no need to pay for a brand name.

[/QUOTE]

i can get you the brass jic fittings and r5 (1700psi) hose for about half of that earls crap. not blingy, but it's better quality.

$600 for bov's? ebay YO!

xtd 6-puck sprung hub clutch--it's cheap and smooth engaging. holds 400+ whp with ease

no oil injection lines. premix

f the velocity stack. i'd rather have an air filter.

don't get a wideband that uses the vw sensor (lsu4 {7057}) they're junk.

thanx andrew and dave........

i might take you up on the fuel stuff..... although im kinda partial to the blue/red fittings and ss lines

i was thinking of buying the knockoffs, but im always squimish to! but if you say they are just as good, then good.....that saves me some money

i meant xtd...not act....... they are reasonably priced on ebay, so thats what im going w/

oil injection is better for me, because i cant remember for sheit to premix! and i dont wanna blow my motor because i was a bonehead...... but one question..... is oil injection even adequate for 400+ rwhp? thats been wandering through my mind lately

i like the way the v stack looks..... but ive also been debating on a filter due to my driving habits

and as for the o2 sensor... i was gonna pm you w/ which ever one i thought about buying, before i bought it! which do you think is the best?

like i said, th lines are better it IS stainless steel braind, but it has another layer or two on top of that. and as far a s longevity... brass > aluminum

stock oil injection isn't anywhere near enough for 400hp. premix!
