Would like to sort out / complete some issues plaguing me for the last couple years. 1. Pull tranny again and attempt rebuild of one or both. 2. Swap stock ugly plenum for hydrographic version. Clean up and going engine compartment…tastefully. 3. Figure out hunting idle issue. 4. Replace / upgrade gauges. Install dual AF guages. 5. Clean up center radio bezel area. Never really happy with how the PO handled that. 6. Buy rear tires for new wheel setup. 7. Install a couple aftermarket trinkets. ---

This morning swapped from a 39mm precision 2 bolt wg to a 46mm precision v band wg. As you can see I used a quick 2 bolt to v band flange to see how it would react compared to the smaller gate. It flows like a mofo and I’m glad I upgraded. It works nice so far but only got a little pull in from 30-60 and it stayed at 11 psi using the 9 psi spring. The real test wl be a 0-120 pull. Also tossed some new rotors and pads on the front.

Honestly it will probably not wheelie if I had to guess on that gear/tire but anything is possible. As long as I can 60ft around 1.5 I can go from there. You better believe I will be driving it. 🙂 Choda that is good news! I have a cheapie 60mm kicking around the shop you could try any time if you wanted. ---

I ran the same setup that I am using on this build. Twin Tial 38s. They package so nice! I grabbed a few of the ebay gates to have a look for myself. They dont look horrible but I still ended up with new Tials for my build. ---

My more detailed plans for my car: '85 Buick T-type (hot air - non-intercooled turbo V6) close on house, install unit heater in garage. Do some maintenance: plugs, wires, timing chain, install test pipe, walbro 340, oil change, dyno it stock to see where its at. Buy bumper fillers, GN rear spoiler, repaint it black. If money allows it, E-85, 80lb injectors/chip combo, blow up tranny, rebuild tranny, 3k stall. ---

Car is mostly apart for cleaning and getting rid of the stuff I don’t want in there. Already sold a bunch of stuff, still waiting to move some other items, but the “build” for this winter is the Moser M9, rear suspension, drag wheels/tires, rear brakes, and a beefy Competition Trans TH400. Luckily all the stuff I’m able to sell is offsetting these purchases. I know it’s the “same old” thing I did before, but I have fun with it. The “go-fast” stuff will likely happen next winter. Look for that build to be a bit more SIQQQ. Looking for a nice balance of a clean/nice cruiser that is a sleeper at the track. Maybe I’ll start a thread, but what’s happening this winter might seem like deja vu. ---

Looks great. Nothing wrong with a similar build especially when you get to learn from what you would like different. I would love to build another rx7 someday. ---

I am hoping for some 2000cc injectors, E85 and retune. Then rear end destruction once again. ---
