    Smile New Guy Here. Lookin' to Make Friends

    Eh, I may have posted a few times, just to sell a 240SX or two, but I'd say I'm pretty far from being an avid member on the site.

    I was hoping to be able to get together with some other hardcore tuners out there and make some new friends.

    I was out tonight with a friend at StoneCrest Mall and met a couple ImportAtlanta members, and I thought it was cool.

    I'm an avid member of RX7club.com, Nopistons.com, and Southeastdrift.com currently.

    My Car: '93 Mazda RX-7 Twin-Turbo

    Mods:
    Twin intakes
    Greddy 3" Down-pipe
    stock main-cat
    APEXi N1 Cat-back
    Non-Sequential turbo conversion @ 9.5psi
    Pettit AST (Air-Separation Tank)
    APEXi S-AFC II
    Greddy Turbo-Timer
    '93 RX-7 R1 front-lip
    HP Racing 18" Rims
    - Front:18X8
    - Rear: 18X9

    Pics:














    Since these pics, I installed the R1 lip, Pettit AST, and cleaned up the engine bay some. I need to ditch the cheap intake filters, I know. After I get her to "pass" emissions and have a tag, the air-pump is going, along with any other emissions control devices. Anyone wanna help me pass emissions? :]

    New 5.1MP camera in the mail. Expect some fresh new pics.


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    If anyone remembers me from back when I had my old '88 Turbo II RX-7, here's what she looked like. I used to be an avid Barrett weekend-er... >___>

















    Here was her list of mods:

    S5 J-Spec Short-block (35-40k miles)
    Swapped to S4 Oil-Metering Pump
    Garret T4 Turbo @ 12psi
    (.70AR compressor housing)
    JDM Greddy Type-S Blow-Off Valve
    3" Racing Beat Down-Pipe
    3" Racing Beat Turbo-Back Exhaust
    3" High-Flow Cataylyc Converter
    Vortech Fuel-Pressure Regulator
    RC Engineering Blue-Printed Balanced Injectors
    Walboro 255lph fuel-pump
    Perma-Cool Electric Radiator Fan
    G-Force ECU w/ FCD programmed
    Bonez Pressure Plate
    Short-Shifter w/ Momo shift knob
    Tokico 5-Way Adjustable Struts
    Eibach Pro-Line Springs
    Cusco Front-Strut Bar
    Endless Brake Pads
    S5 Tail-light conversion
    S5 Turbo II 16'' rims.
    S5 Interior (all carpeting and panels, but no electric seat-belts)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So yeah...I like rotary....mixed with a little bit of turbo. :P

    Lets be friends?

    Jewish Dave?

    Oh...

    That's my BROTHER!

    LOL



    Thanks for the compliment, Miss Tracy.

    I'm looking for sponsorship atm. *hint hint nudge nudge*

    My plans are: Upgraded intercooler (debating front-mount or stock-location), Fluidyne radiator, fuel-pump, APEXi Power FC, then eventually get some 1300cc secondary injectors and go single turbo. By that point I'd probably be swimming in enough money to rebuild the motor with a nice port job and stronger 2mm seals. :P

    Rotary powaaaaaa

    lol, and Charles...yes, you took that pic. How about takin' some new ones of the FD? Get your stoopid Evo back so I can get my ass handed to me. LOL :P

    ...you don't think Jeremy's SRT-4 could beat me, though, do you? C'mon now...

    yes cause the stock sequential boost pattern is 10-8-10 and if you make them non-seq. then its a solid 10lbs (or more) and no boost drop. they will spool alittle slower but it comes on harder. so yes its pretty benificial.

    The first thought that comes into MY head, the first time I felt the way my car boosted when it was non-sequential was....PREDICTABLE.

    The car feels so much more predictable, non-sequential. There are already a BAJILLION vacuum lines under the hood of FD's, it was nice to rid myself of some of them.

    I will say that I do miss the low-end power that sequential puts out. But bleh.
