Well I sold my 87 rx-7 to a guy I work with. I bought a 2000 vw gti for a daily driver, it will stay stock and be in charge of getting me to work. I started the bodywork on my 84 rx-7 this week. I'm going to try and get it painted before the end of the month. I still haven't picked a scheme...

I'm glad you made it back fine, he made it sound like you blew up in tennessee. Get that timing right for sure, and there's new copper plugs in the console. I don't appreciate the "jew rigging" comment. Please contact me in pm if you have any concerns. If you want say things like that to mdc...

This brings me pain to hear.

It would have been quicker to call me, I'd be more than happy to help. Probably got the CPS off a tooth. And "pretty close" on the timing isn't close enough for that car. You're asking for trouble.

Wow I didn't expect the "needs windshield replaced" to be that bad. Does anyone make Lexan replacements? Though an NA engine would only be $600, that shell may be too much work. I need to work a budget for my next car, and see what I can afford. A 1jz swap would be fun, but I'd rather spend my...

WTF how did I miss that. Guess I could run NA and go 1JZ when I throw a rod. Get me some pics of your parts car, I'll trade you a composite headgasket for it.

Well a turbo supra is out for rally. NASA adjusted displacement puts it over the legal limit for even the highest class. 3L * 1.2 (4 valves) * 1.7 (supercharged) = 6.12L. The legal maximum is 5100cm^3. Too bad.

I don't want anything carbed, I fell in love with fuel injection. What about the supra parts car you have?

Nah, I've only run the rx7. A ball bearing stock trim ct-26 would be worthwhile. But Chris's FD doesn't even get into the boost in the auto-x. It really doesn't seem worth it. I will see if I still have the supra at the end of the week. If I still have it, then it will become a racecar and...

Well if I sell the supra, it may be worth getting a beat NA, and throwing all my money into the suspension. I had given up on the idea with my current car because the boost kicks on way too quick and powerful, I'd lose too much traction in turns.

I don't know how the mkiii pps works. In my rx-7 however a stepper motor controls a valve that affects the amount of pressure. My power steering computer (controls the stepper motor) crapped out, but I was able to manually set the stepper motor to an acceptable level. I had played around with...

Like Jay I'm too busy to come down and help you out but I can offer some tips/advice. Pulling the turbo is a pain, but easier if you have the right tools and patience. I don't see anyway to get around removing the oil lines. If you get in a bind I may be able to venture down in a weekend or...

Check this as it will also effect your timing. You need it to idle correctly so you can set your base timing, or it will always be off.

You will have to extend the harness to make it work in the new location. I fabbed up a bracket to mount on the firewall lip for mine.

The reason I brought all this up is because I just got my 2nd gen rx-7 a few months ago and I started auto-xing it. That really opens your eyes to how fat the supra is.
