I'll fix your wiper switches assuming you find me a switch that is rebuildable.

BTW, did you see the spot on the table where the varnish got stripped off Sunday morning? :rofl: Thanks to you I now can't get those brakes off my mind |

How are you doing man? I might have to pull a copy cat, and mimic your front bumper support :cheers2::biggthumpup: |
What are your plans for door panels?

I've still got some tweaking to do with them though. Ordered some new wheel studs and spacers today, decided that they look better with that extra 5mm of clearance. What I need to do is start messing around with different compounds though, the Wilwood pads that are on there kinda blow and they dust like a MOTHER, need a little less bite and a lot less dust. I've got so much clamping power and so much leverage that I want to go with a less agressive pad and shift more of the bias towards the rear. I'm still cranking down on the Prop valve and I have yet to lock up the rears... kinda discouraging considering they are a 12.2" x.81" rotor out back.... yes, that is larger than most rotaries FRONT brakes and larger still than some rotaries UPGRADED FRONT brakes.... I am brake king, hear me...... squeel? |

Touching yourself should be no. 1 on that list. :) |

OK wed. is just about over did you get to Dave's today?
|
Next Wednesday, the 18th.... and I think I'm going to have to puch it back a wee bit.... for a few reasons....
The boat that I was prepping today was a fucking stye!!! The shrinkwrap tore... or I should say the yard that stored the piece of poo tore the shrinkwrap and 6 month worth of shit flew in, mold, dirt, all kinds of nastiness... it's a miracle the thing is as clean as it is. Of course I realized this AFTER I slept in a little, lalligagged around, did some errands, touched myself, looked at the landi, played with my dogs THEN I uncovered the damn thing.... ugh... I wanted to get the landi's wiring done today as well and if the boat hadn't kicked my ass until 20:30... I probably would've.... bastard made me work for my money this year :rofl: So now I'm thinking I'll use Wednesday... the next day off.... yes that is technically 1 day off in 2 weeks.... to do the landi and I'll use the extra time to finish off the small list I have for the FC. I need to get a hydaylic press as well and I'm going to have to pull the UIM to weld on some fittings, wait for lines to be made etc etc etc...... WHY DIDN"T YOU WELD MY HOOD SHUT!@!!!!!!! Oh.... I'll be experimenting with brake pads as well :rofl: 43 days till Limerock!!!! |
I'm tuning tomorrow. you should make the trip.;)

I would get it running and driving but Dave is very reasonable and highly recommended
|
I understand that. The issue is, I literally have only enough cash to get me to northern va and to my internship for the first two weeks. My car is no where near where I want it to be nor do I think any sane person would strap it to a dyno yet. Dave is just out of the question and I need the thing drivable yesterday.
|
It's not that Dave is reasonable, it's that HE CHARGES NO WHERE NEAR WHAT HE IS WORTH!!!!!!!
The man should be charging 4-8X what he does, for the amount of time he spends on each car.... it's ridiculous, it really is. Seriously T, get it running, make it driveable.... get it to where it's safe, then go to Dave. He'll take care of ya... shit, if you're lucky I'll even drive out for the event :rofl::biggthumpup: RX7's make pisspoor dailies unless they're n/a and pretty bone stock... I've been saying this for years. People who want to drive modded 7's need some form of daily driving reliability.... I have my faithful Mighty XJ :grouphug: |
I have two daily drivers. That way the likelihood of being stuck driving the 7 as a daily becomes negligible.

I hear you on the bumper, problem is that with the OEM one, its extremely difficult to mount two oil coolers, without having to cut all kind of stuff. I spent a lot of time fitting those oem fd coolers, and well, after all that work, I am not terribly happy with the results. A tubing bender eh? A hydraulic bender? Man, you are one crazy dude :sifone: Cant say I dont envy you tho :icon_tup: |
Vex - you tuning in Culpeper this weekend? I'm around if you need some help getting it squared away.. I do agree w/ B and MC though, I would get it to Dave as soon as you can.. the man knows his shit and is well worth it.
|
Unfortunately I'm not WE3. I'm in Blacksburg attempting to tune it. I'll be posting in my build thread in a bit about that.

Doing any kind of dual oilcooler setup in an FC is going to be a PITA. Hell, even with my bumper it was a nightmare. So much of that ductin had to be cut away, THEN I had to add a ton of it to the top of the ducts to mate up with the oil coolers. Nightmare.... sorta. The one thing that I wish I had been able to do would've beed to find coolers that I could've tucked up against the wheel wells. The ducting would've been long, tight, and very effective..... and I would've been able to easily add in for brake ducting. I'm scratching my head on that one now but I have a few pretty sexy ideas in mind. When Dave is done are you going to take the car back for a bit to breakin or just get straight on the dyno? |

Would you be able to get it to CT? |
Not anytime soon. Car is not tuned yet. The rain has delayed me yet again.
|
Make it driveable and get to CT, I'll help ya street tune her.

Like what? An FB? The car that has the same suspension as a 60's rustang.... I'll tell you what.... I'll give you ONE of my used pads... You can open the door and drag it on the grnd to stop or you can go Flinstone style with it, dealers choice. :rofl:
