I am not "the other Dave D". I am THE Dave D. :D

And yes, I have a drawing of my radiator. I think Jim has it also. Radiator works fine with the EP motor also. The thing would probably keep...

No loctite, just snug.

Hiya Scott!

Another vote for the silicone. I wrap a small zip tie around each one also.

This is going to sound strange, but try running more fuel in your tank. For some reason, my stock tank...

I ran the 13x7" 4 x 110mm, 4" backspacing Spun Diamonds with 225/45/13 Hoosiers for years, no problems.

I'm currently running 13 x 9.5" x 20" slicks on the same rims. No problems.

They are not...

Are these the same Pinto's that were chasing each other around at Mid Ohio 2 weeks ago? That looked like so much fun, I was all set to go buy another Pinto! Then I remembered what Pinto ownership...

Smoke and racket, that's...

Dave:
i was paddocked right next to them. They clearly did NOT want a first gen in their picture, as they all moved away from my car when they took that pic. They seemed like really nice folks,...

Another recommended solution.

Remove the tank. Rinse repeatedly with soapy water. Let dry. Cut into small pieces. Now you can recycle it without anyone being upset.

Go to your local...

Dang, you're an angry old cuss! http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

I have an 84, same as yours. I'll measure some stuff and get back to you. But I've never had a problem with mine,...

How's it going Daryl?

In order for the mph to be 111.6 at 7800 rpm, you'd need a tire with a rolling circumference of 73.7". Don't think anyone is making one that big, unless you switched to 14...

I'm on record for 116 SAE, with smoothing function all the way up on a Dynojet. If you turn the smoothing off and settle for the highest peaks, you could try to claim 120, but its not real. Same...

I have a drawing for an aluminum radiator that will fit in the stock 84-85 location. Probably would work with factory hoses, although I'm using generic flex hose so I'm not positive. Has provisions...

84-5 bushing is part # 0398-17-333. Mazda motorsports will send you a trans parts diagram out of their parts catalog if you ask them nice when you're ordering.

Spare stock carb and a prepped carb I have both do it, by a few thousands. Appears to be caused by flexing of the primary shaft if you put enough pressure on the bellcrank. I believe that it would...

Geez Dewhurst, one little post to help someone out and I get jumped by the rules nerdz..... http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

Rule says to remove the steering LOCK. Doesn't say...

Somebody? Attila, frank- Whats the story?

Yup-

And if the instructions are unclear or you think something needs to be added, I'll update the Mazspeed posting to include it. Its easier than you would expect...

The column of fluid acts like a manometer when cornering. You end up with the fuel pressure going up when turning left, down when turning right(assuming the regulator is on the driver side). ...

I put new bearings in when I replace rotors, about once a year. Tighten until finger tight, use a wrench to run just past finger tight to take the slop out, back off and snug it up just a little...

Hey Daryl- Did you ever get the new motor on 7's dyno?

I will resist the urge to make any humerous or strange comments. Tony uses SDJ stuff, somewhere in South Carolina I believe. I have heard nothing but good things about his motors. I'll scan the...

I was running warmer than normal also. 220 oil, 180 water. Usually run 200 & 160. Both are downstream of cooler, returning to engine.

Rlekun- Its a custom built. I'll scan the drawing and...

Where in the heck were you pitted Larry? Tried to find you several times, couldn't.

You're times were looking good. Hope its not the same deal I had last year, where it only runs fast just...

Make sure the gas cap hasn't been replaced with a vented unit. The cap should be a non-vented cap, and venting is done through the vent line. Also possible to have a small cut in the refueling vent...

Geez 7's, rule number 1 of the forum: Don't quote the rules! Now Dewhurst is going to want to debate the INTENT vs. actual. Keep it up and you'll be relegated to the Honda section........
