I see what you mean by all of that body roll. Did you feel that point where you were about to roll so much that you could take ground samples, then it just hooked, and the back end almost came...

As for the Toyo RA-1's, if the tire is shaved, then throw the direction out the window. The direction for this tire is for the rain. This is the experience I had last year with the RA-1's. I ran...
If you would use a Carter, you wouldn't need two. Most of us have had real good and consistant fuel pressure from the Carters, and I have heard nothing good about the Holleys. Save your money for...
If you have removed the E-Brake lever completely, this is a good spot for it. Remove the stock proportioning valve @ the master, and run the rear line up against the tunnel. All that is needed is to...
What are you running in place of the thermostat, as a restrictor? Try using a 1/2 inch hole in a block plate, for more restriction, and a longer time for the liquid staying in the radiator. Distilled...
Your best price will be @

and they are about $30.00 each. I think ignitors run about $140.00 each from a dealership, but I could be wrong. Junkyards are still your best bet...
Thanks for the final report. Now we all can sleep better at night knowing that you have solved your problem.
If you are running an aftermarket tach., and a shift light, run one from the leading coil and the other from the trailing coil. When one of the ignitors crap out, you can tell by what isn't working,...
If the rotors won't come off by force, then a greater force is needed. Heat one and cool the other, or make a trip to the junk-yard and try again.

I've used a slide hammer that bolts directly to the wheel studs (or lug bolts if they haven't been updated)to pull the alxe completely out, and since you are going to either rebuild the 3.93(3.90),...
I take it that the waterpump is leaking from the "weep hole"? When you replace the unit, use a product called The Right Stuff. It works wonders in place of a gasket. I've used it on waterpumps,...
Not on my car. I changed the filters, pre-pump and after-pump (1st Gen) every 4 race weekends(most race weekends were doubles). I never saw anything come out of the filters. I always blew thru them...
Great source for this problem is to contact Dave Lemon @ Mazdatrix. E-Mail Dave @ [email protected] Tell him Corey sent you. They carry many stock replacement parts for 1st Gen's and 2nd...
Balz has the right idea. every track is different, and tire temps will tell the story. No air pressure gauge, no temp gauge (not a probe one either), the you might as well be "hip shooting". Take...
Technically speaking, all master cylinders are reman/rebuilt exchange. The only "new" ones come on the car when new. There is no rocket science to rebuilding one either. If you have rebuilt your...
Cheap insurance is to remove the windshield like Paul suggests. Makes it easier to paint the inside after roll cage installation, and reinstall that dash. Besides, if it is the original windshield,...
The master cylinder has a rod behind it that will give you a little adjustabiblty. resolve to this last. Have you always had a soft pedal, or did it happen after you changed brake pads. All of the...

We ran a stock manifold(PRO-7) with a 3" straight out dumping just before the rear axle pointed down. I thought it was heating up the rear axle assy, but never ran a probe there to test. Ran @ Laguna...
How restrictive is the muffler you are using? I am aware of the extreme heat that the RX-7's put out that no other racecar does, and have seen a burnt rear bumper without installing the turn-out. You...
If the 2nd Gen trans is anything like the 1st Gen trans, then 3rd gear is the weakest link. The idea is to be able to use as many gears as possible along with just about hitting the redline at the...
Sorry I can't help you at this point, but Congrats on getting the thing going. You have obviously learned what to do and what NOT to do, and that can help out others in the process. So, when you...
If you are going to swap the drum rear end for a disc rear, then yes, the upper and lower control arms are the same. I don't know about the GXL-SE rear. The driveshaft might not be the same where it...
Not knowing where you live. Here in So. Cal. racing in the heat of summer, the Howe Radiator and relocated stock oil cooler in front of the radiator, cooled just fine. We didn't use the '83-'85...
