from the depths of college, girls, and work I rise to give birth to a true legend. One that will instill fear at the name of my creation, comet-7. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH lol...

zeroecco

ok I went off there, but my comet is progressing. I have run into a big snag though. The exhaust needs to pass emissions by march. which means I need to build an emissions system. I want to make it long term versus short term because lets face it I can maximize flow while at the same time cleaning my exhaust with today's technology. Does anyone know how I can setup my exhaust without re installing the air pump to make my car pass in oregon?

zeroecco

Well I figured it out, thanks to some math and research on cat technology. As for the car I have put it away until I have a chance to get the emission work done (it is going to cost like 800.00 to be done) so I think I am caught up. As for all of you who wish to make your 7 lighter and run legally better then follow this formula: 1 cat per rotor as close as possible to the header. This will deal with the flow issue for performance and warming up the cats. lets face it a rotary is going to dump a whole lot more heat out then a piston motor and the two cats are exposed to less gas then one would be by itself, therefore it will last longer. I haven't found any material to suggest that I am worng. Does anyone know form experience if I am wrong or not? This is an expensive endevor and I do not want to have to do it again if I can avoid it.

here are some pics of where I am at.

An update:

Tokico HP's have been purchased (all four)

RE-Speed Camber Kit has been purchased

RE-Speed Strut bar has been purchased

RB front springs have been purchased

Aeroquip fuel lines, adapters, and fittings have been purchased

New Four point harness(s) have been purchased (passengers need them too... lol )



What I now need: (does anyone know where I can find this stuff here in the NW?)



New transmission (2nd,3rd,& 4th syncros are bad)

rebiult rear end (my current rear end clunks really bad. I am about to lose it)

zeroecco

Got a GSL-SE rear-end coming in for the Rx this weekend and spindles as well. I think I want to do the second generation Rx-7 brake setup as well. oh yeah, Rob is rebiulding a transmission for me to. all I need for that is a short shifter. I am so excited to get this stuff done. pics will be up this weekend

Looking good. I will call you Monday with our thoughts on the strut bar.

unfortunetly the rearend deal didn't pan out. The for what ever reason decided to bail on me. Also Billy is working on the strut tower to make sure we can do it and keep it setup right. Another hang up is the emissions. I got the cat on but I went to the DEQ last week and found out that I am dumping 1959 CO's when legal is 220. I haven't added a smog pump but it looks like I will need to do that AND detune the carb to idle as low as possible and as lean as possible. I think I may do DLDFIS and retard the ignition to try and "clean" the exhaust a little more so that I can get it to pass. I thought a really good cat would do the job but it looks like I am going to need to go the extra mile on this one.

A quick update, I got a pair of Sparco Evo racing seats for 500.00, also I have got all new fuel lines from aeroquip. yeah buddy.

I like those seats. They will look great in a white car.
