Hi all from the states.
I am only posting here because it looks as though your general discussion area seems slow.
I am a 3rd gen rx7 owner. I moderate on the nopistons.com forum.
Hope to get to know you all.
I have done quite a bit of modifying to my cars. If I can help answer any of your questions about Fd's please doent hesitate to ask.

check out my car and what not at my site
www.fd3boost.com

Cheers.

I just finished porting and rebuiling my engine. In the process I sold my polished intake pipes. So now I realize that I wish I hadnt.
Looks like I'll be welding up some more. I have been breaking in the engine with no filters, just straight pipe.

AMERICAN STYLE:D

Hi all,

My first post here as well. I'm from near Denver,
Colorado, USA.

FD3BOOST: Any problems with the AST on that side? I need to relocate mine as well... seems like a shorter run to both the overflow tank and the filler neck.

[Fd3BOOST]

No and that was a tempary placment. I stuck it there to get it out of that way and i havent moved it yet. No problems. As long as it sits fairly high your all good.

Thanks Clive.
I take it your the local authority??
I have seen your name mentioned on here a few times.

I have ridden in Daves car as I don't live too far from him Stateside.

FAST won't really describe it and CRAZY won't really describe his driving style.

Insane is a good word for the speed of the car and his driving style. Stunning is the perfect word for his car!
