Well I ran into a lot of problems while trying to tune the car, after a lot of reworking the system I've got it pretty well dialed in. My god is this thing down right scary. Thank god I was able to do a few pulls before swapping to the right jets. The throttle cable stuck on me, and I went for the ride of my life. We're going to try and get some videos in action at the dunes, unfortunately its been raining....

U know when i had my sandrail with a vw engine on it I had to rebuild the engine every season, there was no way to keep the sand out, Im thinking the rotary would be less likely to bite it seeing as it is a little tighter tolerance then the vw's

Nice work Dave. Yeah I really dig working on these, so easy to work on, not to mention the heat is so low since its not trapped in a box.
Well I tried to tune the thing out in the dirt, and it just spins tires in every gear. Going to the dyno Thursday. Gotta love the power to weight ratio though, man 5psi feels like most single Rx-7s at 15+..
