I seafoamed RXanne today and she loves me for it!! It's a totaly different driving experiance now! She feels like she did 40k miles ago! I'm so happy. I used one can per rotor. Oh yea! The guys at shucks all came out and cheered for me! I'm their best customer. "Hey it's the Rx-7 guy!"

Just ran some through mine also. I made a t-fitting to connect to vacuum for both rotors and then stuck the T with a hose into the bottle. Worked out nicely because both rotors got treated at the same time. I guess I could have also chose a vacuum source from the TB, but oh well. I had some piles of carbon out the back afterwards, stuff works great. Now if only I could get my damn TPS to hold a setting.

I was kinda worried after I took it out for a drive after waiting for it to stop smoking. When I went out for the drive it was still leaving a smoke trail and I was worried that maybe I had freed up something I shouldn't have! Smoking stopped completely after I did a couple miles of "spirited" driving.

See you all at Izzy's tomorrow!

same as above. I was kinda scared cause it was giving little blue smoke and i though it might've eaten my oil seals, but it stoped after one fun run to redline.

I second the motion. Go ahead and do it Ryan. Next on my list of things to do is clean the injectors to get rid of the surging throttle. Figure cleaning the injectors and also checking the pressure regulator should fix any further issues. Thanks to Ryan and Matt for finally getting my 7 to run and idle correctly.
