Actually i found the leak. It was coming from the upper radiator hose. The leek was so small that the coolant dried before it ever hit the ground (which is why i thought it must have been an internal problem).
so i have a new hose and everything should be good to go. I've been really worried about not being able to make power with my NA, so im really excited about this.
i have to run it by you guys first though, just so i dont waste all my money.
what do you think i would need to do in addition to the SC? maybe a fuel upgrade?

thanks vipers.
yea, i was the one that eivad1 was talkin about.
didn't replace my N/A fuel pump and trying to find why the car won't start.
everything else is fine but never knew we had to change the fuel pump.
kinda scary if you ask me. almost killed my engine if i didn't catch that.
im just gonna get my friends 94 FD fuel pump since he's replacing his,
and instead of going out any buying one, unless you suggsest that.

well the deal is almost done, just need to work out the small stuff now
im super excited, i was so worried the NA was a dead end without a turbo swap.

with cage and everything my car was 2,200 pounds. I know there was more I could have cut. I think I could have gotten down to 2,100 but 2,000 would have been a little more dificult.
the tar was easy, just time consuming and stunk like ****.

Ahhhhh... nothing says burnt oil and gas reaking up the neighborhood at 8pm like an emmissionsless rx7 that hasn't been started for 3 weeks. Looks like I'm playing hookie to go blow off some steam at GMR tommorrow. Anybody in? Seriously, who wants to call in sick and go to GMR tommorrow. pm me if interested and we can meet up.

next time you guys do tar removal, go down to home depot and get a gallon of acetone and a big chunk of dry ice. i think the liquid gets somewhere around ~60*<0 or so... it'll freeze that ****, then you just shatter it with a hammer and chisel. piece of cake.
