i bought the bfgoodrich comp t/a drags. 255/50/16s on stock wheels. all i have to say is they are NUTS! gone are my problems with traction loss no matter what! thanks joltnpest.



I feel like buying something else for my car now due to people buying things off of ebay from me, i actually have money!



my options include. new hard pipes from the turbo to the i/c then i/c to the uim (i keep blowing off the couplings due to sustained 13 psi. i figure if i bought the pipes i'd only use them for a little while before i get the "special" single conversion. so it may be a waste. can i just get the new samco couplings? if so where?



i want to get a stronger driveshaft for the car as well, possibly lighter if anything as well.



I dont want to get the new radiator yet because im going to go into the gb chuck has on the v mount vII.



i also could benefit from 1600cc secondaries with custom rail, i already have a walbro fuel pump installed so the injectors may be helpful as well...



what should i do next? injectors AND new couplers? new pipes throughout with couplers? or driveshaft?

You can get the couplers at the rx-7store.net. Or go to samcosport.com



I'd go for all the hardpipes... I love mine!

the only thing is i'll have to get rid of them soon anyways because im going single... unless you can fit the pipes to a single kit.....??

get the pipes..... and let me know when you're converting https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

I say get a stronger driveshaft (because you'll probably need it sooner or later..) or 1600cc secondaries with custom rail

cmartin, i already promised you my storage bin once i find a black interior for my car... now u want this too?? j/k



i think fuel would always be a good thing for my car, im not huge on bling bling unless the parts i buy come with nice pipes like that. ill probablly get the fuel...

i dont pay too much attention to the back of my car, a little bit though, shap says turbos are problematic still cause there is no oil in my plugs... turbos are under warrenty neways, and aspec is "checking" out my car on like tuesday

plugs arent fouled at all?



if not it's gotta be your turbos... check out the return line maybe?

papasmurf 04-12-2003 11:24 PM

i dunno where that is, shap explained that as well. they just have a LITTLE carbon buildup on them thats all, not how it was when i first got them fouled from the assembly lube
