coltboostin Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 If there is anything I hate, its being a spectator at a race event. Since I sold my recent Colt GT, I think its time to pull the Fuzion RX-7 out of Mothballs, and go all out tomorrow in hops of getting it together for the shootout. The Issues- 4 Months of weeds! Motor Knock (sounds like a spun bearing, but Im convinced its in the head) Tranny non shifting issue Lack of injectors 100% sure there is a head gasket issue Lack of a good turbo (GT45 Damaged when it was installed on the Colt) This is how it sits today. Its more Part of the garden, then part of my fleet. http://doitbig.org/coltboostin/pics/4GX7/shootout08/august15%20001.jpg http://doitbig.org/coltboostin/pics/4GX7/shootout08/august15%20002.jpg http://doitbig.org/coltboostin/pics/4GX7/shootout08/august15%20003.jpg http://doitbig.org/coltboostin/pics/4GX7/shootout08/august15%20004.jpg Wish me luck!

coltboostin Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 China turbo was leaking oil. Fucking great- Sad too, the car is running really F-in good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 That sucks man.... its always something. My clutch gave me problems all day. Worst part is I have a twin disk sitting in my garage.

FourString Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah it sucks you couldn't run today JP, but PROPS TO YOU for getting a car in that condition running and driving in that time frame. It was cool talking with you today. This shootout was a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it sucks you couldn't run today JP, but PROPS TO YOU for getting a car in that condition running and driving in that time frame. It was cool talking with you today. This shootout was a blast! Thanks! It was a stretch, and Im upset the China let go so early, but Im glad it runs this well, and I made it home, back..ect Any updates? Jackson Yes, found a used Garret Locally for cheap. I am hoping the China uses a direct copy Stage 3 turbine as I suspect, so this turbo "may" slide right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
