Hey all!Finally im getting my FD on Tuesday morning.Ive allready test drove it and took it to the nearest rotary shop in Monroe Mi,called Banzai Racing.Its checked out great!Thanks for telling me about that Rotay Shop MichRX7!I thought I would need to go out of state and that got me a little upset until you gave me that info.Sorry I dont have more pics except for in my avatar,as soon as I recieve the FD I will post up pics.Now I will be at meets and ****!Here is a little about my FD....



Royal Blue 1995 Touring w/black interior

65,000 miles and a new 13B RE Cosmo motor installed just 2 months ago.Bone Stock except for Apexi GT Spec

exhaust.Has 3 piece 18" Nitche Pulteks and Nitto tires.

The cost is $19,250.



I have a couple Q's I would like to ask you people.........



1)How do I break in this new engine?

2)What should my next upgrades be?

3)Should I perform some sort of fuel upgrade even though there is only one performance upgrade?



Thanks for your help!



P.S - Anyone with 18 inch Andrew Racing Fs,Blitz Technospeed Z1s or Enkei Aegis rims I will be willing to trade,reason due to weight.

To break in the engine you will need to keep the rpms below 4k and boost below 5psi. Or you could go even lower like staying out of boost all together. Just don't drive the car hard! In the meantime start researching what do to with mods and upgrades.

and change your oil alot. like every 1.5k

I'm guessing you didnt even bother researching on what you were getting yourself into....Did you? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif



Plugs will also have to be changed every 5k-10k miles. And they dont have them at your local autozone either. All parts for this car will have to be ordered. Dont plan on Mazda having them either.

rfreeman27 08-02-2003 03:55 PM

im talking about breaking the engine in. You should do it as often as possible with a fresh engine. Once you get her broken in, i would change oil every 2-2.5k.

4RotorRocket 08-02-2003 04:44 PM

Thanks for the help people.Will they have plugs and such at the Rotary Shop near me?I also forgot to add in the specs new Bi-State Customs Stock Twins.How do I break those in also?

rfreeman27 08-02-2003 04:47 PM
