Just wait a few more days till I get this winter job out of the way, parts galore come in Monday, tranny and rear tuesday etc etc... Next week will be FILLED with updates, hopefully daily. Heading there right now actually to get some more wiring done...... after I spent the morning doing marine wiring, it's off to do automotive wiring.... it never ends!

I am inclined to think the level that inductive's would run out of steam on is probably quite high. Super anxious to see the results of this setup though.

I heart M&W btw

Oh, and who did the plug wires??

I agree with you Joe. Unless there's TONS of meth and boost to the point where an inductive doesn't have the energy to spark, I think inductives will do much better for a rotary. But we'll see. The FD will most likely see alot more boost and meth as well so I suspect I'll be repeating the test with the winning coil vs the winning CDI.

I love some M&W as well, I'm curious, I hope I don't hurt any feelings

The pulg wires were built by the engineer @ MoTeC that owns the equipment. I've got at least one more order to place with them before this car is done, so what I plan to do is order ~20' of that wire, and all new boots and terminals as well and all new plug wires using the same wire for each. This way someone that sells says the D585's in a kit can't claim that it was the wires that caused those coils to come in where they did, if that happens to be the case.

Where the Hell is Bill BTW???? I need coils from him.

Aight rotards, off to dive into some more TC/chassis/PD wiring.....

You guys are nuts.

I don't have a tenth of the ambition (or $$$) to do this much work, in this amount of time.

I did polish the headlights on the RX-8 today

If I blow up this POS at DGRR, you guys have to rebuild it......I will be timing you.

And if you take too long, you get one of these

Lets not forget that one saturday I went to Daves for some Dyno tuning, did a comp test first, found a sticky corner seal. Went home, partied my ass off, recovered sunday starting working on the car Monday night after work and the next saturday was back on the dyno...... tough week but it was done

[helghast7]

lmao!!

[helghast7]

you know....now that the cars pretty much done....i find...im really bored!!!!

i think im either going to start working on my FC, which will soon be my brothers...so you know hes gona be helping

or looking for another rotary car to use as an all out track project

[eppo37]

HEY EVERYONE, LISTEN UP! Helghast7 just said he's got money to burn and wants a roller. Be the first to PM him an offer.....

[helghast7]

lol it was speculation, i didnt say i was ready for one quite yet..though i guess i did write it like that huh??...it depends on how crazy my brother wants to go with the ol' FC

but besides that my plans for that next car arent finished yet, and i usually have a base plan to go by before i start any new projects or else things wont ever get done

but when i say all out track car i mean crazy all out...like.....nahh cant say..its top secret

Not to worry, I have 1 genuine government issued SECRET clearance. I speak secret squirrel.

[helghast7]

lmao!!! oh now we cant have that, havent you heard? skunks cracked the code, we moved onto chipmunk

[TitaniumTT]

If you're gonna do a track car, do something cheap, like a Miata, and then have us put a 13B in it


UPDATE: Wiring takes WAY TOO FUCKING LONG TO DO IT RIGHT! And it NEVER comes out as clean as I want it too..... that annoys me.





More Updates - Got a delivery from Paul Yaw today

5450cc's of fuel flow, yes, two ID725's and two ID2000's

Also got the top secret Bosch coils in as well... Cannot wait to get these parts on the rig. My only regret is that my custom 2ndary fuel rail won't be done in time. Oh well, over the summer I guess. It won't help any with flow, but it will look atlot better and keep the plumbing a bit neater as well. Awesomeness to come.





Oh yeah, there's a planned allnighter either Friday or saturday just to try to stay ahead of it all. Getting down to the wire and she don't even role yet.

[helghast7]

miatas to easy

i enjoy the difficult stuff, plus i love the platform ive been working with thus far

besides, everyone and there mother tracks a miata

dont you worry, when im ready and start to get the ball rolling you know your going to get calls from me about welding parts

i just hope your ready to deal with all the custom things im planning

All the talk of race cars I figured I would corrupt your thread with my new project. Sorry!! Just picked it up last Saturday. Long term( 3-5 yr) track car project. Building what I consider the "ultimate track FD". 93' SS touring or base model to start life. I am throwing it on the frame rack to check everything out and fix if needed. Then it comes back for a loong rest while I aquire a seat and steering column and rack in preperation for a mac-daddy cage. Mean time I will be removing sound deadner with Dry ice and a BFH!

Here are some cramped garage shots of the new 7. It came with no hood,front or rear bumper, and broken hatch glass. NOTHING on the inside. Damage to the passenger side in front of the rear tire. Possible frame damage but not bad IMO. Nothing a pro can't fix. The car was getting picked up by a scrap metal yard and I "saved" it. 1 mans junk is another mans treasure.

The best part was how much.. I guess with trailor rental and the 20 bucks for the front fenders I paid...$75.00, for the entire thing!!( It was actually free, but we all know there are NO free puppies)!






and the damaged side: he hit a "mailbox"

[TitaniumTT]

That is an AWESOME find man... congrats.... now THAT is the perfect candidate for race car.... if you're lurking Alex, take note.... perfect race car candidate, mine is the perfect resto candidate.

Really nice find. What are the plans for powa?

[Whizbang]

This alex (me) or another alex?
