Having 2 overdrive gears in a 5 speed means you can cruise in 2nd on the highway!

Unfortunately not much work got done on the car over the weekend. But it is now sitting in my new garage, ready to get some serious work done this week:

Glad to see your FD fits nicely on a U-Haul trailer. I will be renting one for my trip down to VIR in May.

So were you officially accepted as one of the participants for the Modified Tuner Shootout? Is Brian going to help out in getting this thing tuned?

Both time's i've used a U-haul trailer i've had to pull the bumper off or it would hit the front of the trailer.

Owning a honda means you already suck at life.... owning an insight means you should just slit your wrists now ;)

Bumper was already off and it fit in the back of the Official RX7 Support Vehicle of DGRR so why bother?

:suspect:

Yup, but the thing is I need to have it running by the 15th, so I have time to drive it a little and get it tuned.

If I don't make it, they will have a substitution ready, but I'd love to go, these opportunities don't come along often.

Brian will be the one tuning it haha. I'd love to do it myself, but I don't really have time to practice on it, I'm hoping I get a good learning session out of it though.

I'm also trying to convince him to come with me and do the driving on the track. But he's pretty busy, and there is a local driver in AZ that is familiar with the course and has driven FD's before. So if Brian can't make it then I'll give that guy a call.

I wish I could do it myself, but this upcoming summer is my learning summer, so for me to go out on a track for the first time for this event, I'd lose and be a disgrace to the RX7 community haha.

Yeah, no need to pull the bumper off as it was already off haha.

It definitely needs to come off unless the angle the trailer is parked at is just right or you have a few 2x4's to ramp it up gradually.

I also took the exhaust off too, as the back of the muffler hangs pretty low and might scrape the ground as the back wheels finally go up the ramps.

It looks pretty good all together. Glad to see this project nearing completion. I want to see what it'll do. I also like seeing ducting projects, gives me some ideas.

I plan on renting a UHaul trailer to get to a track day down at VIR... I guess I will have to remove my bumper. Minor inconvenience, but not a huge deal.


Yeah... Not to say your not a good driver, but this is definitely not the type of event you want to be your first time out on a track. Hopefully you can convince Brian to go, I know he can pilot it to victory! ...and if he doesn't there will be hell to pay :rofl:

So does this mean you will be joining us this year at track events?? :driving:

You might not have to... Bring along a bunch of 4' 2x4's and you'll be able to get it up there without a problem.

:rofl:

If he ever gets the sand out of his vagina... maybe ;)
But he still needs to find some pink racing shoes and some fire retardant pantyhose....

Silly guys towing with XJs...


I fit our lowered RX3 and front splitter on a uhaul trailer with little effort, you should be ok.


Also, why would you want Brian to drive it down the track? If memory serves me correct, the last RX7 he had on the track got him too excited and the result was touching a rotor to the plate :banghead: and that was just a little twin turbo RE, not the monster twin charger REW this beast is housing...:rofl:


Sorry B, it'll be a while before you can redeem yourself and face it, we don't have much to pick on ;)

:smilielol5::lol::lol::lol::lol::smilielol5:

:rofl: Well, when you have soooooo many gears to choose from ;)

I'm sorry.... when was the last time you had a rotary on the track that made more than 1/2 of what I was making? Silly renni's :smilielol5:

I'll redeem myself with sub ambient intake temps @ DGRR

Agreed on the first point, but with gas at what it is, and actually, with what I'm paying ($1.314CAD/L for regular = $4.991 per gallon), I'm happy to get 3.5 L/100 km (67.2 mpg)

Once gas goes sub 3 again......then I'll have fun burning some rotary fumes. :sifone:

You still need to help me with my cheater RX-8 project next year......at least that's when I'm hoping to pick one up. What are the odds of a 2010 model getting down to $15k?

Got a few goodies in the mail today from one of my sponsors for the upcoming Modified Tuner Shootout. CJ Motorsports is helping me convert to E85, I can't say enough about their products and great customer service.
- CJ Motorsports dual pump holder with custom -8AN return
- dual Aeromotive Stealth 340's
- CJ Motorsports secondary and primary rails
- CJ Motorsport secondary injector spacers (for my modified LIM)

I'll be running -6 braided lines in parallel to each rail (each rail will have it's own pump). And then a -8 return line.

Here is my new fuel pressure regulator to handle all of the return flow without giving me pressure spikes: Fuel Lab 565 series
