Well I finally got an rx7. I've wanted one for a while now but i was spending all my cash on an 03 lancer mostly mods, but alot on payments and full coverage also. but now its gone and I've moved on to somthing new. the new cars got some issues but for $800 with a recently rebuilt engine I'm happy. I just spent a hundred on new tune up parts I only got cap and roter today, but tomarrow wires and new plugs. I need to put in a new driveshaft, and fix an overheating issue, eather thermistat or heatercore, or both? heatercore leaks into passanger compartment, and fogs up glass instead of defrosting it. but if u keep the heater on it stays in the safe range just under half up the temp gage. a/c pump was making alot of noise so i just took off the belt sounds good now. I'll be removing a/c compleatly when i feel more like playing in the rain. I live in oregon btw. i've also fixed headlight cover alighnment slightly. Its a relplacement and was hitting the hood and chipping paint not that it matters being like 5 differnt colors. not exact but as close as it would go without bending tabs up or boring holes bigger. but it clears the hood now and pops up nice and smooth. i pulled out the storage compartment and plan on building one out of fiberglass with a 10" sub enclosure. and a larger storage compartment. so thats what i've got covered so far.



Heres a0 newb questions

I've only had one other car with a carb (89 prelude type s with duel davinci motercycle carbs) and my uncle tuned it for me. I don't know what ever happend to my uncle probably in jail agian??? but i don't know where to adjust the mixtures??? i know its a couple screws with a spring but i cant find that damb thing. so mabey a video or just a picture with an arrow pointing to what I'm just looking over i'm sure or mabey just about the location from passanger fender is it on the front, left, right, otherside????

Sorry I can't help much on the adjustment question, but I can say I have a 91 FC and I put a single 18" JL W3 in the hatch and it sounds great. I'm not sure what type of music you prefer, but I would suggest a quality 18" sub and quality amp for the install. Just my opinon. Here's a pic of my install, I've upgraded to a JL 1000/1 amp since the picture were taken, but the enclosure and sub are the same.
