I wish! Bill was all set with the camcorder than he put it down becuase comp tests are boring..... never picked it back up

rotors are a test of patience and determination.

There is no limit to my stubborness...... just ask any of my ex's

Whizbang · 08-30-2009, 04:02 PM

i think i fall into the masochist category, myself.

***TitaniumTT*** · 08-30-2009, 07:23 PM

I want to know what I did to anger the rotor so

A good friend of mine has a TII that we're ground up restoring and dropping an LSx into it. I stole your avatar a while ago when I started an acct on V8RX7forum

***TitaniumTT*** · 08-30-2009, 11:46 PM

I'm going to try to keep a daily log this week complete with hours of how long this actually takes
Tonight - engine is ready to pull - time = 2 hours

WE3RX7 · 08-31-2009, 10:55 AM

All I can say is there needs to be an award for "the most patience with a rotary ever" and that Brian should get said award right now...

I got a call from Brian at 11pm Friday night getting the low down on the current situation and when we got off the phone about an hour later, I couldnt believe he was going through all this again with the fuel system! I received a text at 6:45am that he had just got the car together and was on his way down... thats NO sleep from 11pm all the way through.. this man is dedicated!!

I told Dave my history of bringing bad luck to the dyno's and to not let me dyno first, and this is what happens!

EJ - to his defense, I was sitting ready and willing with the video camera, lol. Once they pulled the comp test, I thought it best to put the camera down - no need for evidence of what may have been the destruction of a perfectly clean FC caught on tape

.

I'm more than impressed with Dave though at KDR, the man is awesome... I really cant wait to see you yank that year rotor out and find it be as simple as the corner seal!

Engine 4DOT5 is the one... I can feel it! It'd be sweet if you get that comp test sorted out on the Motec though too... at least that will save you some drive time...

Yeah, I had been awake since about 7:30 that morning too. After all was said and done it was another 40 hr strait day. Ended up going to Oyster Bay too - cocktails, a hotub and some well.... made the day a little easier. I overdid it though and slept till noon, woke up all sore and hungover and only managed to squeeze out 2 hours of work on the FC. Heading out to the shop now though. Hopefully tonight I'll get the engine out and broken open. Lofty goal so we'll see what happens. I ordered all my gaskets and o-rings from MazdaMotorsports today, they're due in tomorrow morning.

I spent some time with the Motec last night, I got it reading betterm but I really think the sensor isn't the greatest. I got 3 nice bounces to 79.5-81. I tried to get that low bounce but regardless how much I tried, I couldn't find it. The engine was cold though so that may have something to do with it. We'll see, hopefully the fucker is easy to spot and I'll be able to take care of it quick and be driving again by the weekend.

WE3RX7 · 08-31-2009, 10:33 PM

No video, but here are two shots I took... I had to digitally remaster the one w/ the hood as some with "drool like consistency" must have got on the lens.

***TitaniumTT*** · 08-31-2009, 11:08 PM

Damn Bill!! Sweet... thanks man... that's awesome, really awesome. Too bad we couldn't get vids of dyno's or burnouts... next time.

So I managed about 3 hours tonight before I had to call it quits, too damn tired. Engines out and mostly broken down. All that's left is the clutch, counterweight and Intake mani's before I can crack the girl open. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll be home a little earlier and can get 5-6 hours in. Goal tomorrow is cracked and restacked. Then Wed/Thurs reassemble the engine, stab her in Friday and be driving before midnight on Friday. We shall see.

So the running total is 5 hours to get her out and mostly broken down.

Rebuilds? yeah no doubt. Races? absolutely. Rebuild races? I never turn down a challenge

Best of luck after you've fitted that corner seal again, or whatever's needed to remedy the clearance. I know you know - but you'll get it. And then you'll give it.......give it hell at the track!!
