I see that the January Fast Track is out and that the request was dismissed in the "Not recommended for implementation at this time" section with the obligatory "The car falls within the performance parameters of it's current class" ITB is not very popular in the NW with hardly any cars...

Hey guys - looking for more info Does anyone have a ISC third link and panhard setup? How does it mount? Does it work good? How hard is it to install? I know what the Tri-Link setup looks like installed, and am wondering how it compares to the ISC setup. Somebody got a digital pic maybe...

Been looking at all kinds of different Panhard set-ups and even SDJ's adjustable Watt's link. Who's got the hot set-up? Anybody had better reliability/durability/value/performance with one in particular? Will probably go with a G-Force Tri-link setup, and like the look of their beefy parallel...

I know this was discussed at some point but I didn't find much good info in the archives. Does anybody have any good photos of a fuel cell installation, and recommendations for which cell you used? Thanks - Rick

I've heard a lot of discussion on teh relative accuracy, or inaccuracy, of commonly available EGT probes and gauges. What kind of gauge and probe do you guys use and who do you get it from? Thanks - Boswoj

I remember you saying that your series runs stock carbs, with street ported motors. How aggressive is your street port, and where do you start on the jets? Do you retain chokes on the carbs (probably not) and if not, how do you get the cold blooded bastards started? Thanks - Boswoj

It seems like it is always the little things..... One of the freeze plugs is out of the 12a that I am preparing to install. I bought a used motor and when it arrived, the lowest freeze plug on the back housing was sitting on the pallet about six inches from the hole. I stuck my finger in, and...

Has anybody installed the Tri-link system in their Rx7? How much fab work is required to get it in? Does it make a BIG difference in the way the car handles? Give me some info if you can - Thanks - Rick

Just noticed that Balz's whole outfit is for sale on Ebay! I don't know him, and have never raced him since I'm on the other side of the county - but it seems like he is always friendly with help here. Balz - you changing cars? Don't tell me you are defecting to Spec Miata or something...

It seems like the wrecking yards are really cleaned out of "little smokies" in my neck of the woods (used 12a's). Too many rebuilders buying every core in search of servicable housings to make into cheap (and short lived) rebuilds. Anyone got a good source for used engines? I would prefer one...

Has anyone developed an off season checklist for all the maintenence, inspection and rebuild items on a first gen? I would love to see it, and make sure there isn't something that others have had trouble with that I am missing. I've got a long cold winter to make sure the car is perfect! Thanks

Hi all - I've got a first gen 12A with an 81-85 distributor that is down on power and breaks up at 5500 rpm, really refusing to rev any further in racing conditions. I think the problem must be ignition - the previous owner had the positive side of the coils linked together, then one wire...

Hey guys - I've got a ITA/Pro-7 car that I'm cleaning up for the upcoming season, maybe you can help: 1) Anyone running a Kirkey seat? Which one, roadrace or intermediate? I'm about 6'1" but with short legs and long body - having headroom problems with current no-name seat. Is 20 degree...

I just purchased a '79 RX-7 ITA car. Is the BFG Comp T/A R1 the tire of choice for this car and application? What about the Toyo Proxes R model, or are there better choices yet? Please give me a rundown on relative grip, longevity, and cost please. Many thanks in advance! Rick
