I'm in Daytona with my white FC

apexkw 01-03-2003 09:04 AM

daytona huh? did you just move to florida like a few months ago. during the summer? if so i never met you. but i remember reading a post where you said you were going to move to florida and hang out in orlando. cool this is turning into the who lives in florida thread. which is great because that way when we drive around maybe we can met some of us. ok come on people lets try to compete with the northeast forum. we should have just as much activity here as there. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

spotted!!!!!!!!!!! i saw a white second gen driving down us 41 yesterday. i gave you the thumbs up. i was in the really loud red third gen. let me know if you what to hang out sometie and talk rx7 stuff.

Baldy 01-07-2003 02:50 PM

question: like I posted previously, I live in tally. so, I know there's no emissions checks in fl, but have you folks ever been pulled over, or know of any one who was stopped, because of loud exhaust? I think I may be getting a rb header and presilencer, but was wondering the risk for our area

apexkw 01-07-2003 02:55 PM

man i am so scared right now because of my exhaust. it is so loud it feels like my brain is shaking out of my head. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif i think with your setup you will be fine. i have heard that the rb exhaust is one of the quieter exhaust. i have the apexi gt spec exhaust with the pettit resontaed midpipe and the apexi rx6 single turbo kit and down pipe. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif the reason i am worried is because of the fact that my idle is messed up and it is steady at 2k. imagine driving your car all day revving to 2k. :squint: its bad let me tell you. i have never head of anyone being pulled over for there exhaust here in fla. maybe some other fl members can help us out here. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Baldy 01-07-2003 03:18 PM

good to know...I know it'll sound like butt with the header, presilencer, and rest stock, but I'll finish it off later...just now I feel less scared of installing it

apexkw 01-07-2003 06:04 PM

if you could hear my car i bet you would think that there is no way your car could be that loud. just remember i got 95mm piping from the turbo to the exhaust tip. also my car was WAY louder before when my wastegate was vented to the atmosphere. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Gen2RXSeven 01-07-2003 08:19 PM

Thnx for the help apex, think I might just have to have a little carb work done instead. But never hurts to know where to find a mechanic. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

apexkw 01-08-2003 08:30 AM

no problem i was glad i could help.if you want to ahng out sometime and talk bs let me know. i am probably going to orlando this weekend with my lady friend https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png i live in south fort myers of of plantaion but i work in north fort myers off of pine island so my car is all over the place now that i got it running right. hope to see you around town. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Gen2RXSeven 01-08-2003 07:59 PM

alright, cool, I work off of 75 and Daniels, live off of 41 and winkler so I know what u mean, Cant drive my RX7, so I'm stuck with my slow, ugly Nissan :rice:

apexkw 01-09-2003 11:09 AM

okay i posted to another forum member to come talk to us in this forum..rxtacy...come on boy we need more activity in this forum. lets see how long it takes for him to come join the neverending party that is the southeast forum https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

90 RX 7 01-09-2003 10:06 PM

man i live pretty close to daytona and orlando and was wondering if there were any rotary shops around this area and if so where?

apexkw 01-10-2003 07:55 AM

well i believe pettit racing, asi racing are both on that coast. somewhere near ft lauderdale i believe. then i also think that there is a shop in tampa somewhere. i cant remember the name right now. if comes to me then i will post it up.

rxtacy 01-10-2003 01:28 PM

i'm here. apexkw, i might have seen your car around town. red, right? i have a black fd. anyway, i live in whiskey creek (if u know where that is). i just got it in november but havent been able to show it off much because the engine needs rebuilt. and i cant even rebuild it until my lawyer can get me some money for me (i received false information about the car's condition during the sale). so it'll probably be another 3 weeks before i'm drivin it again.

i sent you an email i think, so check that if you havent already.

apexkw 01-10-2003 02:37 PM

yeah i do have a red fd. looks stock has a really loud exhaust. front mount. and a little asian guy driving it with a big ass smile the whole time. and i do drive through whiskey creek all the time. my friend lives about a mile past whiskey creek on mcgregor so i cut through there like once or twice a month. my email address is apexkw@hotmail.com and my aol instant messanger name is apexkw. if you want to hang out sometime that sounds fine. my car is down right now as i am trying to find some an fittings for my oil feed lines for my single turbo. i am going to orlando hopefully as long as i finish my work for today. i want to go to islands of adventure. ok well back to work...talk to you guys and "girl...waysho" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png later

Gen2RXSeven 01-10-2003 05:26 PM

well, might as well look for another engine or Rebuild the one I have, I've got a feeling this one was abused severely. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif looked at my car last night with the dew on it and the sticker from the previous owner showed its ugly head on the back window. Latin Racing. hmmm. wonder how bad it was beat up. Oh well, Maybe engine is still ok.
