Hey All ~
I know there is no tech involved in this and it is totally self-serving, but I just feel like I have to post this. This is the first real smile I've had in about 10 months ...
I installed my long-awaited RB Streetport system today. It took me about 4 hours, but it was worth every second. I've fallen in love with my car all over again. After driving around for the past three years with an exhaust system more akin to Swiss cheese than a performance exhaust system. Even with this busted-ass clutch, I finally have my 13B acting like a rotary should. I've been finding exuses just to drive my car all night and it takes me back to 1990 when I bought my very first Rx-7. I feel like a kid again (even if I ache like an old man).
Anyway, my next project will be to set the timing ... with a light this time. (I set it by ear-n-ass 3 years ago and haven't touched it since) and then try to convert to DLIDFIS. (Jeff, expect some questions to come your way in the next few months https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...).
I'm going to have to pull it down again because I hear a leak up front somewhere and everything is tight, so I'll probably have to put some gasket sealer in there. I also want to get an oxygen sensor port made on the header, but I'll get it done in time. I just can't wait to take it on the road tomorrow - 200 mile trip. Mmmmm ....

PS
I'll post some pictures as soon as I get them into my album. |
