Refered from the old club to the new one by Polito Racing

[AlabamaGearHead]

So I have been a member over there since June of 03. I had just gotten my first 7(85 gsl) and I figured id join a forum to help me learn a little about my new car. I learned a few things and met some pretty cool folks on there...only one in person though...but never really made friends with anyone where I felt like part of the group. But, never the less, I have been feeling like alot of the fun was gone from the site, but didnt really know of any other 7 forum that had enough traffic to keep me interested. And ive seen some of the guys(Kevin Landers for example) that I thought knew their stuff and really helped me, even though not directly,get constantly badgered over kinda stupid things. Anyway, I just drove up to NC over the weekend to bring my old 87 TII to Paul and he told me about the site so I figured id join. Looks good so far, and lookin foward to getting to know some more great people.

Hey man. Thanks for the info about the forum. :icon_tup:
So, in your sig, which of the 87 TIIs is my old one? The one under repairs or the project car? :)

[Polito Racing]

The one under repairs. It should be running by tomorow. I just dropped the engine on it all i need to do isto conect al the plugs and hoses, the intercooloer and the intake. ill let you know when I'm finished. I have a question. Who had previously rebuilt that engine? That engine had new apex seals and some other new crap on it. the reason it went was because instead of using a gasket set they used silicone and water got into the oil and it had a bearing failure. the rotor slamed against the iron and smashed the side seals into the grooves on the rear rotor. but everything else was intact. who ever rebuilt that engine had no clue on what he was doing. talk to you later. how is the white car working for you?

[Phoenix7]

hey, Polito, where can I get 2 FCs like the one in your sig? I want a black one and a red one.

[Polito Racing]

copy mine and just edit it however you want on photobucket.

[AlabamaGearHead]

No Shit?? The guy I bought it from never said anything about it being rebuilt. I put new turbo and downpipe gaskets on it. And also the front oil seal. I also fabbed up the custom oil injector lines....came out pretty good I think. Everything else internally was all before me....what size apex seals were on it? Any major damage to the engine or rotors?
Later man. :biggthumpup: O btw, I checked the alternator, its good. I think maybe the car being low on fuel could be causing the chugging. Ill be messing with it in the morning.

nah everything is still reusable even the apex seals. the apex seals were Mazda 2mm ones I was able to pull out the stuck side seals and cleaned them out pretty good then tried whith other side seals i had laying arround and them weren't getting stuck anymore. now i have a question does the fuel pump in the black car have a kill switch? I finished the swap but the fuelpump isnt kicking in.

[AlabamaGearHead]

Well, hows she doin?

[Boostmaniac]

They have RX7's in Alabama?!?!?!




















I kid I kid, welcome my good man.

[Polito Racing]

shes running now. I took the dash appart to fix all the short circuits under the dash. there were lots of shorted, burned and melted cables so I'm pulling the front end of the harness to see if i can fix it. if not I'm probably going to end up having to find a new harness. and the other thing is that the clutch pump was empty i refilled it but i guess it has some air in the lines because the pedal goes straight down and doesnt come back up. Ill let you know how it progresses as i go along. but engine wise shes good to go.

[AlabamaGearHead]

Awesome man. :biggthumpup:

And yes they have RX7s in Alabama. :fawk:

[Polito Racing]

shes ready. finally. I had to work my ass off but she is good to go as of now so she would be for sale pretty soon. Tomorrow is washing, buffing and interior cleaning day then pics and a for sale sign. I had to take the dash out and fix all kinds of stuff on the wires but its finally done. i really dont want to sell it but i really need the cash to finish my other car. I sent my other engine to get ported yesterday so hopefuly it will be back sometime next week and ill start assembling it and the real fun stuff. the injectors arrived yesterday and the haltech arrived today. all im really down to is the turbo setup and the msd boxes and start putting stuff together time!!!

[AlabamaGearHead]

Sweet. :icon_tup:
