sounds like you may have two gears engaged at the same time----there is a 10 inch long "hocky stick" shift rod that lines up wth the pull hooks---if one hook were accidently pused in (misalligned...

Another way of looking at oil temp----With the sensor in the pan---you get a worst case(hottest point)----you can also immediately see the difference between running in tight traffic (higher oil...

Congratulations on your IT-7 success----looking forward to future Mid-div----Cen-Div---SE-Div interdivisional series???? for IT-7--the ARRC has an IT-7 class but surprisingly has seen limited support...

Note to Lateapex911----the carbs in question were tested in place on the cars as raced, and then at the request of the Atlanta chief of tech removed for potential review by the stewards.

The early model rx7 trans(79-80) has a shifter mounted "in" the body of the trans---81 and up the much shorter lever is "remote mounted.

the 79-80 shifter has a pilot "bushing" in the ball...

I believe that the 89-91 cars have a slightly different ft bumper shell that requires the use of 89-91 front fenrders---bottom front edge of the fender has a different curve to fit thew new...

Your 1981 LSD can be used with the late model (84-85) drive shaft---just change out the flanges on the front of the diff-----removal of the big nut with an air power wrench is very easy BUT DO NOT...

Set the record straight---1980 RX-7's are small axel cars BUT---the disk brake rear(GSL) was was not offered untill 1981. (81-83 GSL = small axels) 84-85 GSL = big axels.

Thus any 1980 car with...

If your high oil temp is oil returning to the engine at 260---it is way high---may be 300 comming out of the engine and you are likely to have problems---

on the other if you read 260 in the...

Lets throw a couple more thoughts into this "soft-pedal" problem------If pads are worn at an angle this will give a "soft--deep " pedal---if the calipers are not 100% parallel to the rotors----this...

Sounds like you do, have the early version of the 12A engine-----early RX-2 and RX-3----the simplest fix may be to, change out the early water pumphousing (what the water pump mounts to)for the...

Does not sound good----If the problem is repeatable----the engine is likely toast. Sorry to be the bearer (sp??) of bad news-------whatever were you thinking to fill it with pure water in a...

Rlekun "concern"-----from what I have heard the rear mount weld on is not a weak point---any sort of semi-reasonable welding should work-----IF there is a link failure (rare) the car is "reasonably...

The weak point on the third link set-up actually appears to be the curved link itself----under hard braking with a downshift that bounces the rear end the curved link has been known to bend and or...

Just remembered the award name --HARD CHARGER----was the name of the SEDiv "extra" award that we offered the best "drive" of the IT-7 race who finished behind the podium guys, this was a VERY...

From Dave D.:

"If we spring for an extra trophy, can we drag some SEDIV guys up to mid ohio? Pretty sure we could manage to cover 50% of the ITA field with RX7's. Sounds like a compelling...

I had heard the there was an interest in Your division to form an IT-7 class for the 1st Gen 12A's now running in ITA.----has there been any developments on this??----will you guys be adopting the...

Another place to look would be the balance valve that the brakelines run through-----on the fender well near the MC----if the little piston in this has moved off center it may be isolating the rear...

If the "Diamond" wheels you are speaking of are the steel wheels-----a note of caution---a buddy of mine ran a set of 13X7 steel wheel on his IT-7----the wheels had the extra reinforcement plates...

If the Winterhaven shop is ISC-----Mike VanS.. is very good and builds fast cars at a fair price.

IT-7 was organized "BY" the drivers, and "for" the drivers of SEDiv. Unlike other "spec-classes" of recent memory (eg. Spec Miata, Spec-7, Pro-7, Panoz GT, Legends and even the SCCA sponsored...

If you race in the SEdiv (SCCA) the track vendor almost always has these available in 1/4 inch thickness-------I'm not sure if I have ever seen 1/8 inch spacers----at one point I had my machine shop...

Your are correct when you referred to the 1st gen RX-7 wing as "optional"----for this reason the wing has historically not been allowed in ITA ---the wing was a dealer installed option (albiet...
