From: Pimp'n ain't E-Z! But driving ur FD makes it easier!
My GTX, or as I've started calling it...SE-X has taken a downward fall. The 2nd rotor has still not freed up and is not getting any compression. The car is being towed home next week from the shop, so I will have better access to it and seeing it every morning will make me work on it more often 
My goal is to attempt the STEAM CLEANING technique not much heard of in the rotary world, but after speaking w/ Dave Gibson at fc3s.org and the owner of pineapple racing...it should help. I will also try a few other techniques I've made up in my own head(scary...I know) and if none work, then the car will be put on the backburner for a little while so I can get more funds! Here is my plan for the motor if it needs to be rebuilt though:
Full Streetport or Bridgeport..haven't decided
3mm apex seals...or stronger 2mm 2 peice seals
3rd gen side and corner seals
racing beat hardened stationaries
modified eccentrice shaft
port and polish intake
and of course Haltech...
thats a brief setup..I'll probably go w/ a bigger turbo as well...but I need to get things situated first...this all takes $$$ and lots of it
I'll keep you all posted.

I really never heard anything bad about Jspecs, that why I felt ok about using one to start with. Its all for the better though, now I'll just have a Jspec Ported motor w/ 0 miles and big turbo...all in cased in a 2400lbs SE body
when I get all of it done, I'm shooting for 11s w/ almost all interior!
