any mazda rx7 people out here?
daywane:
I was on the Interstate yesterday and some sports car passed me like I was sitting still. ( I was doing 80 and climbing)
I hit my over drive and quickly caught up to him
at 120 the front end stared to shimmy in the steering wheel
at 130 I started to steady out but I no longer was gaining speed.
the speed omitor goes to 140 but there is room on it for 150.
also I have no real take off speed. this thing should chirp the tires on take off.

I own no rice burner but a 85 monte carlo ss
daywane:
sweet
I love 85 Monte Carlo SS , all Monte Carlo's
next door neighbor has a Monte Carlo converted to monster 4x4.
I had one . put a 396 big block in it.
Lost it when the air shocks gave out and let the car drop on to my M50S
riped both sides of the back end. drive shaft fell out of the front and pole volted me bumper to bumper about 3 times total loss of the car :-[
I was 17 then. (also last time I dumped the clutch)
daywane:
1 other problem with this car is if you start it up and then turn it off with out driving it or letting it idle for a few minutes you will be stuck.
the motor is flooded. always takes me 3 or 4 days to start it after that.
the 4 plugs ( L1, T1, L2 , T2 ) will be soaking wet.
cranking motor and blowing out the plug holes will not help.
only thing I have found to help is disconnect battery, Take out plugs.
let set over night. If luck she will start next day. most time it takes days of doing this. I have learned not to touch the gas peddle just before turning it off. My 17 year old daughter MUST REV the motor and shut it off.
then we are stuck again. (she is not allowed to touch the Mazda again)

Yeah RX7's are rapid to say the least! My mate has got a pretty sweet one:-
He's got some awesome rims on since these pics.
Its in the garage at the mo to have a complete engine rebuild and is putting on a huge Greddy turbo, intercooler etc + should take it up to almost 600bhp, 190mph!
Cant wait for a blast in that!
