Well I was up there Saturday testing a bike for a buddy of mine and I didnt see a single RX7 which means Bobby isnt on the road yet either.



Anyone planning on making some trips to the old girl for her last year?

I'll be there for a few friday nights getting drunk....if that counts

justin what happened to your FD?

OPS Starts this Friday. I WILL BE THERE

Same thing thats happened to it for a year now....nothing

Still the trans?



I just sold my stock tranny...i should have thought of ya, would have given it to you cheep to get the car running again.

So Bobby no updates in the other thread whats going on with your car?



Did you hear about the TT LS1 FD that got into the wall at the end of the track during the Hot Rod Pump Gas Drags

at 75-80?



i heard somebody hit the wall up there last weekend.



No, I've been super busy with school (end of the year) and my family is in the process of moving and lax playoffs were going on so i havent had time to sleep, let alone work on the **** box.



In a week or so after we are settled in the car will get finished at a more rapid pace.

Hey Bobby where are you taking the welding classes? I have been looking for a TIG class and cant find any. Carroll CC has welding classes starting this fall so hopefully if nothing else they will have some.

frederick community college



I think for TIG you have to take the second 'advanced' class



ive gotten pretty good at arc/mig

Well my headers are done. That is good news

Damn I am good

sweet!

Thanks man.



It took a while to fit the cage by myself but it is just how I want it.



Hey what did you use to paint yours? I was thinking some engine block paint. That stuff is super strong and has rust inhibitors in it too.

mine is unpainted...luckly the chrommolloy hasnt rusted yet



i was just going to throw some primer on there and then paint it flat black, easy to touch up if it gets knicked, wolnt be distracting either

I thought you used mild steel not chromoly

Bobby when is your twin turbo beast gonna actually hit the road?



I plan to get back to the tracks in September. I screwed up another transmission, ate up the syncros, so that brand new one lasted around two years.



I just put in a rebuild so at least I can get the car into gear now.



So all in all, I am exactly where I was two years ago! Progress!

You need more power tom that way you wont break the trans https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I have to admit that I am getting the itch. I keep resisting the evil force, but a single may be in my future for next year.



Ya know, I could not have run the car more than 30 times with that brand new tranny in it. I only missed one shift, an ugly miss I admit, but all in all, powershifting may not be a good idea.

If you need any help installing that single let me know, ive done it about 15 times now lol...

If any of you guys head out to 75 / 80, let me know via PM. I'm not picking my FD up until December or January, as I'm saving to buy one cash, but would be interested in meeting and talking to some forum members in the mean time. I'm down to the final stretch, and have a good bit to learn on the 13B yet.



Matt

Bobby, what your status?



Schools out you on the road yet?

wiring is done. Gonna start it this weekend.



Then to kayos to get a PPF and i'm rollin!

Sweet.



You still went with the Lenko right? I cant wait to see/hear your car. I havent been around a high HP rotary other than D's and his isnt really a rx7 any more now, it is much more a race car.

jerico... Yeah it's in there. Looks ******* badass too



Hows your car coming?



Dee's car isnt a rx7, but it's a rotary...

I should have my motor next week. I have the cage in and partially painted. I fabbed the fuel cell in last night (Looks good). Now I have to figure out where to put the fuel pump (Thing is HUGE) and then rewire the car. Probably a day for wiring and a day for the fuel plumbing. After that the car should be drivable again.



Then it goes in for paint. It is coming together but I HAVE to have done and tested by late July because of a event.

How'd you paint the cage? just spray cans?



Take some pics of your fuel cell. I think i'm just going to stick with the stock tank for now, there are a lot of rules with fuel cells i dont feel like ******* with.

Yes just cans of engine enamel paint. That stuff is hard so it should hold up ok.



The biggest pain is isolating from the drivers compartment. PAIN IN THE ASS.

Also Bobby you may want to look at sumping the stock tank. A couple of the LS! FD guys did it and it looks good and allows you to use a BIG external fuel pump if necessary.

that is what i'm reffering to..



I just dont want to deal with it. got any pics/info of what you are talkin about?

Sure do. Here are some of the sumped tank.

Hey Bobby you still have those 28" ET Streets you wanted to trade for my 26"??



I think I am still gonna need the taller tire.



Let me know, maybe we can meet sometime this week or weekend.

Yes i have them, Let me know when you wanna trade i can do it whenever!

I will be around all weekend. You live right near the track right? Would you be able to meet me in say Mt Airy? That is half way between us. Maybe Saturdaymorning sometime.



Let me know.

yeah MT airy would be cool

Ok. I will take the wheels off tonight. Can you PM me your phone number? I may have my buddy Nate meet you since he lives right in MT Airy if that is ok

what ever you want to do. Are we swapping wheels as well?



-bobby

It would be easiest to do it that way I think. Mine are in great condition except the center caps which you can keep your old caps if you want to as long as your wheels are in good shape.



Either way is fine with me.

mine are powdercoated a nice silver...
