I had an alignment done today at ATS. They showed me a before and after and I was surprised at the final numbers. Does anyone have or know where I can find the OEM settings? I just want to make sure they didn't make a mistake.

I was abusing the car today and it ran fine. I still haven't changed anything. I haven't checked the play in the turbo either.

yes. 110bhp. last night the motor was operating norm w/ a slight flat spot around 3k. much different from the all out loss of power.

my 97 is not a PD :(

I am a big rotor fan and I think that kit looks the tits! For whatever reason the VS decal/emblem was removed and I agree, should have been filled in. But I think the rear is one of the better views, the curves are almost Ferrari-esc and I really like the way the paint scheme follows the lines...

No. All Rx7's have 1.3L of displacement. Only the R26B, a 4 rotor #!#!#!#!el netting 700bhp in their 787 Le Manns car, made 2.6L of displacement (each rotor makes 656cc). There can be some confusion because of the amount of air a #!#!#!#!el is capable of moving, so for taxing purposes (in Japan...

Are you telling me this thing has a Variable vane turbo? because that is news to me. I will take a look at the compressor impeller. I did take off one of the charge pipes to get at my oil filter that mysteriously spun itself loose. So I will check to make sure all the hose clamps are tight...

My car seems to be having a drop in power, almost like it is in "safe mode". I am thinking it is fuel or boost. I noticed yesterday when I pushed it a little the power band just feel flat around 3k. Then again today it was flat all around, if I floored it there was just nothing. It didn't...

Today the performed the FREE health check as advertised. They were nice enough to provide me a laundry list of parts the need replacing. As for the gauges, water temp is just over 60 (maybe 65) and the oil temp is just a tic over the cold (far left) reading. They move so that leads me to think...

On tuesday I was supposed to have my car towed to the dealers to have them reprogram a new key for me. I found my keys so I don't need the new on anymore. But both my water temp and oil temp gauges read low. Will the dealer charge me an arm and a leg to look into that? I read that some...

So the message I got from them was- I mail them my ECU, they chip it with one of their custom maps and then ship it back to me for 300 pounds.

I don't think they would be able to put a grill like that into production, there is no front impact zone. If I knew how to photoshop I would doctor it up a little.

they said up to 5 days. Just seems like a lot for a key

72 quid for the key and 35 for the dealer to code the key. And I have to have the car towed to the dealership. The car doesn't have central locking or anything. luckily my insurance with cover the cost to have the car towed. The Dealer needed to make a copy of my picture ID to verify the car...

Who would like to see this thing get put into production? They got my vote.
