Yeah, the JumboTron.....:blink:

Anyway, now I'm looking for a new rad, and don't want to spend $500.00.

Any more thoughts on Aluminum rads guys?

Jim,

I used the stock framework of the long rad, and had a rad shop build me a rad that was thicker, three row, and we moved the top outlet to the other side, so it became a cross flow. I just...

Thanks guys. I knew that there was a big drain on the HP, I just wondered if anyone had ever figured out a number more specifically for a race prepped RX-7 1st gen.

As pointed out, knowing the...

Anybody have any idea how to figure out HP at the flywheel from a chassis dyno HP number? It is something to do with percentage drivetrain loss....Someone suggested it is about 15% - 20% loss from...

Great, the drawing is easy to understand, and I'll try some of these ignitors. The ground in the car is all relatively new, and not stock in construction or location...

Cool guys.

I have about 10 used ones rounded up...these babies are about $250.00 new..AAARRRGGGHHH !

We are on the chassis dyno next week, and I am just going to keep switching them out til...

Hey Guys.....someone must know something about these igniters? http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/confused.gif

I am having a weird problem with my autometer tach. Sometimes up around 8000 it starts behaving eratically, bouncing around. Also been told I have a bit of a miss at high rpm as well, but not always....

I like the Toyo's as well in the rain. We don't have a choice, as they are our "spec" tire, but they work really well, and seem to give us an advantage over a lot of higher powered cars.

That's...

Dave,

I also am an old fart, with occasional SPS (soft-pedal syndrome) in my 1st gen. I win a bunch of races, so maybe I don't need the darn brakes, but...

So, I need a little clarification on...

Good thing you found them...

The one time that happened to me was on the track, and one of them actually fell out. A sphincter awareness moment for sure. I have since checked them regularly, and...

One of our guys broke a spindle this weekend at speed. Luckily he managed to get it stopped before the wall. 1st gen GSL-SE running in IT1. I tried to post a picture, but it didn't work.


[This...

We run in Canada under different rules, we run streetports, but a rotary is a rotary.

I shift usually around 7500 - 8000, but the red fog sometimes takes me into 8500+.

I was running in the 195...

Hey, me too, 84', left rear. I changed the bearings and seals on both sides during the winter, but the left one didn't seem to take. It was OK before I changed everything. I did it because the...

Hey Rick, I coulda written that myself...I'm 6 foot, with a 30" inseam...long body, and shorter legs. The Cobra seat also has the slots for the shoulder belts a little too low, so when I really crank...

I have a Cobra seat in the car now, and after two days of racing on our home track, which has a lot of left turns, I am sore as hell, and have a good size bruise on my right side. I need a seat with...

I agree. Rear rotors last for multiple seasons, particularly if you "bias" a lot of rear brake out. Fronts are different, and I go thru several a season.

I use stock parts-store pads on the rear,...

Nice set of stuff from MazdaSpeed. Just put it my car, replacing old Eibach kit. The body fits nicely over the strut, although you have to grind off the original perches, and get the new ones welded...

I solved my tranny rebuild the easy way. I went to one of the local Mazda dealers, whose decals I run on the car, small decals, and had them rebuild it. About $800.00 CDN.

It was just easier, and...

Not too sure about oil temp, as I don't have that gauge yet, but water gets up over 200 - 210.

I'm running stock rad, and have already done the pulley swap.

I'm also looking at 3 row rad, or...

I run a little too hot in the summer with my 12A streetport, and someone suggested I use a higher rated pressure cap. Currently I run a 13lb cap, and my buddy suggested I increase to 16lb.

Any...

I haven't used them, but they sound like a good idea.

Where do they go? Do you drill into the headers, and how far from the block to you do it?

Thanks

I've always taken off the hose on my 12A, but somewhere I read that there was a plug directly beneath the dipstick, down at the bottom of the engine. Lo and behold, I looked and it was there...at...

I've been running a bit hot in the height of summer, using a stock short rad. Any thoughts on a better rad? We can use anything that will fit in the stock space.

What's the scoop on 2 row vs 3...

Hey, no offence, and I do feel like a young woman in the morning, but they'll have nothing to do with me, being as how I'm a 59 year old guy.

I am up in Canada, and would be interested in trying...
