| And now oddly she doesnt boot. the 2nd turbo is just throwing a hissy fit and causing the huge backfire again, it did before that record a 0.97bar from the 1st single tubro spool up and that ran fine. Once i get back from york im going to raid my piggy bank and buy a couple of bits... New intercooler pipes, battery relocation kit, spare black bonnet (going to custom vent one) and a few bits to run it as a single turbo set up so i can throw out the piss taking rats nest of vac pipes.
Bloody Wankels! | |

| I freakin' love rx7's, but the unreliable reputation they have and being somewhat ignorant about them, its always put me off getting one! But you havent had any 'rotary' related problems have you? just turbo related stuff. are the wankels actually more reliable then they are made out to be? | |

The engine and turbo are fine, electrics good to. its just the bloody vac pipes, all shall be sorted tomorrow though and then ...no more problems and a whole heap of power. | |

| Providing you do what i did, make sure theres a huge ass bill for the rebuild and then phone who did it to confirm, get yourself aquainted with the japanese lingo and get a service book and i see no reason why you cant enjoy it, in the times mine has its been amazingly great fun. I just happen to have a temperamental one due to its crappy treatment when it landed on uk land. I plan to fix that and i have....almost. | |

| So yesterday afternoon while looking under the dash i ripped out a little black unmarked box with now 3 broken wires cause i yanked it from were it was stuck down. Turns out it was some no-brander jap fuel cut defender. Shit. On the plus side i now know why the fuel delivery has been a bit off and on wot it starves itself now im running much higher then stock power/boost....Full remap time! Gah i really need a job that pays more then 350£ a month its starting to piss the rex off to. | |

| Little update, did a bit of retail therapy and planning. Ordered a bunch of gauges and craig gave me a mr2 pillar pod that fits perfectly, decided the car sits to low so im going to up it an inch, going to rip the front of the car off and move the rad behind the fmic that i will mount in the bumper and fit the twin fans to the back of the fmic and rad. With the car being resprayed in the future im going to vent that bonnet to. Worked out a budget that i'll end up blowing but monies picking up, Just mocking up some images on the pc to show you all....i'll post them in a few days when im set | |

| Well, It was cold, snowing and freezing fekking cold outside but the rex is now a twin turbo non sequential fire breathing beasty boi. Going for a razz now to see if the mods worked and that i now have 1bar of boost till 7500rpm and that by uppong the car by 2cm means i can get some lock on without getting my scrub on! | |

| Right bit of an update: Decided to take the car into another direction after messing about on forza/nfs shift. Cant say much right now as its not all set but the rims are away for a refurb, the interiours coming out...all of it and the exhaust is being re-done while i save up a few more pennies and have it booked in for whatever's needed to get 450bhp out of it. There might be a burnout bodykit in the mix to. | |
