Human error can easily be prevented if the person was more attentive and responsible. Unfortunately yesterday, I was a victim of this.
Hit this on accident because I blanked out. After realizing I couldn’t turn out of the way without power steering…
Fail. The lip is busted where it once was the first time it got damaged [...]

Since I have to drive my car to the competition this weekend starting tonight, I had to make sure all things were well. One of the priorities were putting on the undertray to ensure smooth airflow through the radiator. Because the lack of tools and miscellaneous items to put it up, I had to take [...]

This morning was the perfect time to finish the job for the FC so I decided to take action. Put the upper intake manifold back on, connected a couple hoses and plugs, and topped it off with the intercooler. After all of that was done, rolled the FC back on the driveway to optimize the [...]

Today (or yesterday since it’s about to hit midnight), I was able to work on the FC a bit more. Woke up to the thread I made on the rx7club forum and got two replies. One linking me to a Napa’s website to stock replacement water temp sensor. In the info, it says it had [...]

About a year ago, I got the Greddy water temperature gauge from Elnner as a gift. He calls it our “friendship gauge” since I already have on with Jaime. lol Anywho, I ordered the sensor and harness about a month ago and barely got it couple days ago.

it’s been a good while since i’ve done this… OIL CHANGE! Greg hooked it up at garage at work so we took the friendly offer to our advantage. time to put that fresh lube into the motor.
here’s the FC in the garage.
here it is chillin’ on jack stands (or hopping with hydraulics).
here’s the oil pan [...]

next was borrowing Elnner’s friend’s coolant pressure tester to test where the FC’s leaking. following exactly instructions on page E-5, we put 15 PSI into the system and resulted with this…
coolant puddle above the motor, in between below the Upper Intake Manifold (UIM), on top of the Lower Intake Manifold (LIM), and behind the water [...]
