Well this weekend at the Glen proved to be troublesome. Need some help or advice with some isssues that we are having with our 2nd Gen. :( 1.) The car runs extremley lean between 1500 and 4500 once the secondaries kick in it clears up but then goes way lean around 7500 thus goes flat. The car...

Awhile ago we took our compression reading and they came up as. Front Rotor: 7.9 Rear Rotor: 7.4 This was taken using the factory compression guage. Thoughts/opinions on these readings good or bad? :shrug: Thanks! Bill Weaver ITS RX-7 #63

Been reviewing the data from our AIM system and it appears that it is running anywhere from 50 to 150 degrees colder on the front bank. The max temp was 1940 degrees. Was curious to see what everyone else is getting as far EGT temps.

Looking for some help with a low power situation that we have been fighting ALL year. It is evident that we have no power since I'm down and average of 5 seconds a lap at every track we have run this year. We have changed the following. New flowed/matched injectors.....new fuel pump new kill...

Guys need some thoughts here today we changed the oil in RX-7 and found that there was gas mixed in the oil. :o When I say mixed there was quite a bit. Here is my take on this we have a preasure regulator installed on the car (13B) 2nd Gen. and just recently hooked up the vacum line going to...

Need some help. we have a 1980 RX-7 which in the last to races I haven't been able to finish. Both occurances happened at the glen during the race fluid starts coming from the top of the trans at high speeds. Always seems to start occuring after 4 or 5 laps into the race the cockpit fills with...

Just getting the car ready and I have heard that the 79/80 front and rear bumper are much heavier than the 81-85. So with that being said will the 81+ bolt up with no problems? Also if the swap is possible who sells a good "racing" air dam. Thanks for the help!

I'm swapping Transmission in my 1980 RX-7. My question is has anyone ever put an 81-85 Trans. In a 1980. If so what are the basic steps other than cut a new hole for the later gear box. Also I noticed that when I removed my box there are 3 boots that go over the base of the shifter are they...

Was anybody a little confused at the start?? When I came across the line the flagger was waving the yellow. It was until lap 3 the I saw the green. Were we under green for the first 2 laps?? Not that it would have made a difference I was virtually blind at the start from the downpour and the...

Do you have to run the clips at each end of the pads?? They seem to fit real snug without them.

The past weekend I noticed a problem with the oil preasure in my RX7 (1980 12A). When I first start the car the PSI is around 30-40 pounds. After the race coming into the paddock it was only pulling about 5 pounds and the warning light came on. It drops to around 5 when running between 1000-1500...

Just wondering where a good starting point is for the Camber setting.....right now it is set at - 2.5 by the previos owner. And I don't have a pyrometer. Thanks.

I going to be running at Poconos May 18&19 and was wondering if a 3.90 LSD would be ok to run? I ran a test day there last week with the 4.88 welded rear (in the rain) on the North Course which is quite short. The car ran great but at the end of the straight I was pushing near 7K RMP's. Any...

I have a 1980 RX7 with a 4.88 "welded" rear differential. My question is the car seems to make quite a bit of noise from the rear when driving slow is this normal?? Also if you shake the rear end of the car side to side I can hear a clunking. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

What wieght motor oil should be run in a 12a motor. Also what type in the rear end and tranny. Thanks in advance for the help.
