I havent been on in a while, just decided to check in randomly. I got 73000 miles on it and finally paid it off last month, hurrah!!! lol, Now I can use that money for saving and other payments......or just work on my rx7 again

Finally installed a subwoofer. The touring model has awesome sound and the bass is better than cars that cost twice as much but I wanted a bit more. Got a kicker hideaway powered sub and installed it under the passenger seat. So much thump from a little box.

I'll also will be ordering an stiffer engine mount, there definitely to much slop. Might also do an ecu flash also.

After 11 months I finally ordered the ddmworks rear bar lol. Going to install it this weekend. Next auto x event is June 5th for philly scca, I'll also get to see how it handles the track on track night June 22 at njmp, and then south jersey auto x on June 26. With the rival S, people are saying...

Finally got some bfg rival S for the 2. Got it installed and damn these things are grippy. Tested them out in the rain going around a light post. Had an autox event the next day and wow, the difference between the bfg sport comp 2 and the rivals are huge, no more understeer. I tried getting as...

I got the bilstein pss b14 and they are really nice and not jerky at all on street driving, but they are soft when you are racing in autox or at the track. Sure you can get stiffer springs but without shock adjustability, its moot. Since you live in the northeast, I would go with coilovers...

sparks from hard breaking is a nice touch lol When I go out riding with my friends on our motorcycles we sometime also emit sparks from the pads from braking hard. Everybody hates dust and noise, from the picture, if that is at 200 miles it looks about the same, maybe even better than the HP+...

So, I have been using the Hawk 5.0 pads for just about a year already and it is pretty much the best all around pads I have ever had. I had hawks hps and hp+ for 10 years in my rx7s and they dust and squeal. The hawk 5.0 pads does dust a little bit but its not to where after a track event the...

its easier to take the headlights off and the fender cover off to replace the windshield reservoir any idea on which coilovers you are aiming for?

Bought mines with 5 miles on the odometer in 2012. It has 58k miles went through 16 auto x days, 5 track days, two 700 mile round trips, and countless times up the mountains to the ski resorts. Haven't replaced anything yet only tires oil and spark plugs. The car did get hit two times.... In the...

So I was looking for new tires for this year autox season for STF and I was wondering if anybody else has run the v720? I was set on the Rival S but I was wondering how the v720 is doing.

I just time the dribble so that when the wiper comes back up it swipes the dribble. I do it about 3-4 times.

I actually use a 6 inch long 2x4 wood and put it on the thick frame towards the middle of the car that runs up and down the car, parallel to the pinch welds. Place the jacking point as close towards the engine as you can. The 2x4 spreads the load across the wood so its not stressing the metal...

I just let mines hang off from the camera itself. I do need to try and conceal it, wires hanging down is just messy.
