Well, here's what i found when i did my 'tune up' today



spark plugs... 20,000 miles old--Replaced

Plug Wires.....45-50,000 miles --Replaced

2 rotten vac hoses..(not sure what their for) -- Replaced



Oil change, new fuel filter and cleaned the IN GAS TANK filter





wow, my bitch is running Sweet!



Start's on the first turn of the key, and idle's smoooth.



no hesitation at any Rpm's and SCREAMS! to redline



guys, my n/a never ran this good before



I raced my cousins 'all stock' 1988 turbo supra (MKIII) and i never left his bumper.. Mmmmahahhaa (he was pist)

can finally say that i have a 'quick' / 'fast' N/A rx-7



I mean hell, if i can keep up with a car that has 230 HP and nearly 240 lb's tq. that's decent. YEAH BABY!



MY new goal. Hit a 9 flat at my local 1/8th mile strip.



My last run. 2 years ago, was with my bad motor and slipping clutch

i ran an 11.3 @ 61.. it was terrible. I got beat by a geo metro in my old motor. ewww, lol

Pull back the rear carpet, disconnect the hoses and electrical leads to the tank cover, remove screws and pull pump assembly out
