Yet another thing I think about all the time... Do I pull the engine before I have the car painted? Im not going to do a color change. But I wonder if they can do a decent job of touching the bay up if the engine is still in it.

Ha Ha! Give yourself some credit, you stripped your engine down and only hooked one thing up incorrectly. . one thing that multiple eyes probably laid eyes on and still didn't catch.

Wait, that's not a compliment. On second thought. . LEAVE IT ALONE

It may take the entire rotary community to get it back together if you pull the engine!

Johnny_K · 05-18-2017, 08:54 AM

yea, leave it alone and drive it.

I am leaving it alone besides fixing vibrations and blah blah blah... I have no plans to do anything with the engine until it goes bang.

I just wanna do suspension work and fix the leakies and that kinda stuff.

project86 · 06-14-2017, 09:27 AM

Alrighty... update time.

My vibes issue did actually turn out to be a bad driveshaft. U-joint is coming apart. So I'll probably get one ordered in the near future.

That is all. Thanks for tuning in.

FC Zach · 06-14-2017, 09:33 AM

Nice. . Go to a shop and see if they can work your shaft. . . to get replaceable joints in there

Giggity Giggity!

So I got another driveshaft from Charles. I planning to put that in this week. Now I'm seriously shopping for an exhaust. Mine is leaking pretty bad, its loud and it sounds stupid.

I've been considering getting the complete road race system from Racing Beat because i like the quality, sound and that it looks stock but I'm open to other options as well that might save some coin. Any suggestions?

RB system is 100% the way to go on an NA rotary. Just listen to Zach's!!!!

I had it and loved it, only changed mine when I went turbo to free up a little more HP. That being said, the RB had a way better sound, and of course I used the RB downpipe and pre-silencer with the Apexi N1 EVO.
