  1. Just another RX-7 Built-Coltboostin Style

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    So, been busy with work/travel. Finally found time to finish up the IC set up, just in time for the snow LOL.

     

    It came out even better than expected. The intercooler although universal, basically bolted right up using the OE bumper supports! Size and spacing were absolutely perfect. I used scrap piped for the hot and cold side. Waiting on the BOV, but besides that, dump tubes, and better clamps-we are injectors away from glory pulls.

    I used a radiator I had laying around I picked form the junkyard out of a Audi 200 turbo that looked new(er) and a set of cooling fans from the same junk yard run. The rad is 1/2 the thickness of the Hinson that came with the car, but it has done well thus far.

     

    I sold the Hinson for $400, so considering the cost of the IC, I actually profited $200 by installing the IC. :) Showing was done with scraps and aluminum duct foil tape.

  2. 99 mustang 1000+hp fuel system options?

    the cng ones from fic were high imp... mine currently are low imp. Probably one of the best perks of aftermarket managment is running whatever injector you want without a separate driver.

     

     

    Yeah that's why I asked- figured you were low. I want to stick with the OE Computer as long as possible.

     

    good to know though

    Ctd Facebook page has a video of the stig running and making 1100 hp on 93 of anyone would like to troll away.

     

    Does the thing still have 2 billett 42's on it? POS should make 3000whp when its done.

     

    CTD is having a dyno day tomorrow (oct 25th saturday) just sayin...:gabe:

     

    It is CR's duty to get down there and fuck shit up! If I was not 100% booked today I'd drive my happy ass down to join the fun.

    I 100% agree with this.

     

    The problem is my car has "gone too far" to be a street car again without sizeable investment. IE: all my subframe and diff mounts are solid aluminum. Axles and driveshaft are all connected via solid couplers. NVH is insane in this car. Just "tooling down the road" is a migrane waiting to happen. There is no functioning radio, no AC, no heat, I cant hardly stand to be in it more than an hour before my ears ring and my foot is on fire. Its just not made to drive around.

     

    A mild supra with rubber mounts everywhere and simple things would be perfect. Hence why mine is for sale. I would like to start over and go for the "just barely 1000whp, but not a track car" route on say a nice 72mm. Maybe even smaller. I am not sure what id pick right now honestly because its not really an option. My next investment is to stop renting and get a home under my belt, so my money is spoken for at the moment. (which is an equally frustrating experience, but that is a completely different thread)

     

    Bottom line is I didn't buy the car complete. I bought a shell that was missing 80% of the stock stuff and most of the rest was damaged or unusable. Great for a track car build, but not for a street car. This was what made me go the "build all the things" route, which made sense for what I have.

     

    I am sure once I am not pissed off at it again, I will be back at it. It just becomes quite the ordeal and I get frustrated. I have put over 15k in the car this year and driven it 20 miles... probably 3-4 of those were dyno miles or just moving the car on and off the trailer. Not a very good enjoyment factor on the investment.

     

    I know if I had a spare 30k rolling around, I would have a 6266 or 6466 car. Make 600 and just drive it everywhere in the summer and it would make this car a lot more tolerable being in the stable all the time.

     

    Give Vlad a call. He may be able to help you unload ti over seas. Honestly, you could sell this car for more than asking if you can get ti to Russia or UAE.

    -----------

     

    TREASURE ISLAND – City commissioners on April 26 approved a financial settlement for $1,000 with a former police officer who did not meet the terms of his employment contract.

     

    City Attorney Maura Kiefer recommended closure against Chad McMonigal who returned to his native Ohio prior to the expiration of his contract.

     

    The original figure, according to Commissioner Richard Kraus, exceeded $12,000. The calculation took into consideration costs for pre-employment medical and drug screenings, psychological evaluation, uniforms, body armor, training tuition and salary expenses.

    Do we have confirmation that these are the same asshat?

    B, no Brainer.

     

    Nevada is terrible.

     

    Your Nuts.

     

    Incline Village/Lake Tahoe area is some of the most beautiful land in the Country. Couple that with stupid low or no taxes, driving distance to Vegas/San Fran. Win-Win for anyone making decent money.

     

     

    But the "where" in Nevada is very important.

    So there is no option to move somewhere because you want to?

     

    You can do what ever you want to do, this is 'merica after all.

     

    But, the OP is asking about moving for a JOB, no to get his rocks off. Best job option long term it seems is option A

    I have just been thwarted every time I wanted to run the car. Get the car out to SP and the oil control rings fail. When I pull the motor, the clutch has a cracked disc. Order the new disc and start on a rebuild. Struggle to get it in one piece then once all back together, the rear main leaks, coolant leaks at the firewall, along with a shorting injector. Small stuff not working right have kept me from running the car all year. Fairly aggravating. I still have not made it to the track with the car that is literally built to go down the track. Its the cars only purpose

     

    It could be worse. I could be in the Staats boat of blowing up 4 motors in 2 years.

     

     

    And this is why I stick to budget builds! Something fails-its no money lost, and the time I spend finding ways to cut comers to meet my goals is enjoyable to me.

     

    Once you lose the enjoyment (whatever that may be) then its time to move on.

     

    Did you ever considered turning down the wick? I was looking at Supras last year, and I figured one would be most enjoyable with stock motor/very mild build @800ish whp. You can set it up with he right parts and have a dead nuts reliable car that makes great power and puts a smile on your face every time you drive it.

    Option A.

     

    IMO, you only MOVE if you MOVING UP. As for option B, A lateral move to a company going full remote (see-easy to fire someone you don't interact with) and labels as an "Advisor" IE-temporary is sketchy to me. Family is a factor you can measure (different for everyone), so its not factored into my option

  23. FD RX7 BUILD

    It was Lukes car. While storing it last Winter, a buddy of mine bought it from Luke. Luke sold all his RX7's and his EVO, and just picked up a RX8. I don't understand why. But, it's not for me to, as long as he likes it.
