Hi guys,



I've just joined and thought i'd say hello, and post a few pics of my car (any excuse). It's an '81 RX7 and has a S5 13BT, Microtech ECU, the stock I/C is front mounted and is a bit of fun all up.



Anyway, I look forward to reading heaps of useful info from all of you.

Thanks guys. It's actually wearing Performance Superlites (15x6) atm, but will get some Simmons V4's (15x7) in the not too distant future.

That makes me miss my first gen even more! Once I get another one that's how I want it to look.

Yeah you used to post on the www.rx7club.com forums i think.



lets see some engine bay shots. And hows the FMIC using stock IC doing? Is it ic'ing enough?

Viperx7 07-31-2003 04:23 PM

Welcome. You've got a very clean car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

S2 13BT 07-31-2003 05:38 PM

I'm also a member of rx7club.com and have been reading here a bit, and decided to join.



Thanks for the comments everyone, i've only just got it back on the road a week ago after 6 months due to a noise defect https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png and i'm loving it all over again!



Iotus... The IC is not very good, i'll be upgrading in the not too distant future with probably a 'Rice Racing' IC. I'll also be switching over to Haltech management. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif



As for engine shots, i'll get some up in the next week or so ('cause it really needs a clean!).

RotorMotorDriver 07-31-2003 08:57 PM

Why Haltech over Microtech? Which model do you have, and what are you going to?

~T.J.

I prefer Haltech over Microtech, it's just my opinion. Both will work fine.



I currently have a Digi 1 which is fuel only, and will most likely upgrade to an E6K or if funds allow an E11.

Good to see you here! Get the rice racing IC, I did and love it! Love the E6K so far but woulden't mind taking a look at a E11.

TyresmokinRx7 08-02-2003 12:35 AM

Welcome dude. Nice car...

The Volvo intercoolers are definately better than stock. But they are overrated. Too much pressure drop, and the core is too thin.



This is just one site where they prove it's not all that.
