Hey Phoenix7, that white FC with the 10thAE RX7 is my friend Damon =).

I am currently getting my FD single conversion. He wanted me to attend the meet too. But my car was down. Hopefully I can join you guys by the end or early next year =)

-Eric

Nice cars by the way

Damon's car is clean. Maybe we'll both start the year with our running cars! I'm trying to get the turbo running for 7stock and race ready by the end of the season.

Had the engine bay steam cleaned over the weekend. Looks nice in there.

oil cooler lines began to leak so I took the car to rotorsports for the replacement....

3 hours of work later and they replaced the oil pedestal oil rings, the oil pressure sender and changed the oil to 20w50, as they recommended.

While he was under there he noticed the car would cut out randomly and he found that the source of the stumble was the Ignition pack. Apparently the previous owner installed it improperly and was not properly grounded. It would cut in and out randomly which meant that the LEADING coils were not getting current!!!!

That expalins the random misses, the bad idle, the pig-rich smell, the bad low end, and the flooding.

I LOVE Rotorsport in Santa Clara!!!

Brooke is really cool. when i met ya'll at the shop for my hood.. Nothings better than finding someone who has the same passion for cars as you do..Phoenix7 is a very lucky man!

Phoenix7 · 01-25-2009, 05:15 PM

Thanks, I'm very happy. She's coming with me on Fri. to part out an FC...Both our cars need some more parts and she likes taking things apart. How's the hood BTW?

Looking good. Where in Ohio did you drive it from? You're lucky that you found a mechanically inclined S.O., especially one that likes RX-7's

Phoenix7 · 01-25-2009, 09:57 PM

Drove it From Dayton...yeah, she's pretty cool, always willing to learn....I don't know if I mentioned it it but SHE was the one who got ME into RX-7s over 8 years ago.

Rotary#10 · 01-26-2009, 01:12 AM

LOL! its cool. I can kinda see that the paint is a bit darker than my cars paint. so its like dark blue near black LOL.. don't trip im happy with it on.

lol working on the rx7 is like playing with legos for me now... LOL. I remember when i played with them as a kid i'd build stuff, it'd look cool and i'd want to make it better.

Phoenix7 · 05-16-2009, 06:30 PM

I think I blew the motor today....finished driving 300 miles, got gas and it blew getting back on the freeway....

Dunno what to do....

whitey85mtu · 05-16-2009, 06:52 PM

+1. That's what I'm trying to do right now as well. Motors should be way easier to find in you area.

Or you could always TII swap

Phoenix7 · 06-21-2009, 02:18 PM

well, it was our DD and we needed a car. We parked it at her dad's for a while. I won't get to do anything for at least another month.

Best case: free used motor (gotta do compression check) and back to smoggable then sell it and put the money into my TII...

Worst case: Part it out.

I won't sell it as non-running...not worth it.

I'll update this thread when something happens.
