Okay Guys, there was quite a fuss jeering up enthusiasm to get FB owners away from their slippers & pipes to attend this venue.
So where are the foto\'s or did everybody forget to take their cameras with them.
Did anybody manage to get a collective foto of the 1st Gen attendees?
Cliff
:Thumbs-up
I would love to see some pics! A good turnout I imagine?
I coundn\'t make it sadly...car is getting some secret work done for next year instead :p
What secret work is being done?:rolleyes:
The Rotorstock photos are all here (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=139) there\'s a couple of 1st gens in there. :Thumbs-up
nah nothing...just a repaint and some other goodies...
really bummed I missed rotorstock though...saw some vids and seemed like a great day!
A few pictures from Rotostock 7 on Saturday morning.... with a 1st gen bias as I\'m a 1st gen bloke.

I recognise marks/captains/shaunwills/jacko & daves FB\'s,but whose are the rest?1st time i\'ve seen a \'bra\' on a uk FB.
(http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss333/gsxrmovistar1/R7/DSCF0829.jpg)
very smart white fb,whose is it?
You got some good pics there Ian, you should\'ve walked around with a big sign though because I still didn\'t bump into you and I loitered around my car as much as possible!
know what you mean i saw Shawn and Moonwrap but now once else, thats not even me stood by my car lol its my mate, although i did spend most the day in the stand hence the Santapod tan!
i saw the white one with the bra in the public car park, cant imagine why they didn\'t want to park it with the others?
It was a good day all in all - nice to put a couple of faces to names, but I too missed the mystery man with the yellow FB. A lot of effort has gone into that car for sure.
Managed to get my hands dirty fiddling with some oily bits - I trust you made it back after I touched it Tim?

I was dwelling by your car for a couple of hours Tim, not a sign of you!
Problem is, unless someone is with their car, you have no idea of knowing who is who.
I was talking to Marc and Karissa as I had seen them arrive. I also saw Shaun from the other side of the drag strip.
I\'ll take my FB to the next meet to identify myself.

That white fb was parked near me out in the car park. I had a good look around it.... it really was as nice as it looks in the photos.
Gotta say Mark, the work you\'ve put into your car is amazing, the finish is stunning. RESPECT!!!
P.S. Where did you get your white dials from?

Alex in Nottinghamshire....For sale only last month on ebay. Rubbish bids - didn\'t make reserve.
I have contact details if anyone interested. (Of course he might have sold now?) :Typing
:o
Definitely missed a good turn out here.
A very interesting selection of variations. styles and colours
Can\'t decide whether looks better with or without side mouldings but just hope mine meets expectations and is as good as these.

thanks although its starting to look a little bit tired in places from my point of view, there was certainly a lot of good gen 1\'s there very honoured and shocked to have won a trophy
The white dials came from ebay a long time ago! think possibly Oz although im not 100% there may be something in my build thread, i remember i had to sand the original faces away and paint the needles for it to work

Yeah we got back fine no drama at all, see what you mean about the extra mid range I had a great drive home.:Giggle
Good to meet you mate looking forward too seeing your baby.:chat:chat
nice Ian, thanks for the pics!
Could you please let me have your email? I have a few Qs if thats ok? :)

see, now I\'m intrigued... ;)
Quote from: Marcrs;713148see, now I\'m intrigued... ;)
The jist of the conversation was...
"you want more midrange grunt for no money?"
"sure I do!"
"gimme a cable tie then"
And that was that,I had a rummage in my tools and found a small cable tie and Ramon gave me poor mans mechanical secondaries.
There is a noticable increase in willingness to pull through the midrange and it sounds awesome.:burnout
I\'m sure there will be techies shaking their heads reading this but who cares, it was cheap and it works:Giggle
Cheers again Ramon...
see...now I\'m even more intrigued...
I have some cable ties...al I need now is a Ramon :Giggle
I\'ll get some photos later mate and a quick write up it\'s easy peasy, but you need the really thin cable ties really-2mm wide jobbies. If Ramon gets online it might be better if he does a paragraph that makes sense rather than me doing an essay that confuses everyone including myself.:D
I\'m all excited now :)
**runs to shed to select smallest cable tie on the shelf** :D
For a proper bodge you need to put a gasket either side of the accelerator pump diaphragm, to help reduce the huge flat spot!
Keith...
Oh forgot to say, expect about 15mpg!
To be fair I found you just have to adjust driving style so as long as you\'re nice and progressive it is fine. Granted if you plant it without warning you get a hiccup but apart from that no probs. I\'m willing to forgoe that for a bit more umph!:Giggle
Fuel consumption is horrific at best, but it\'s fun-so I\'m happy.:mmmm

you\'ll lose that hiccup if you adjust the accellerator pump to cope with the extra demand for fuel.
Sterling, the Nikki guru, explains it here...

Sure is fun, I discovered that the wheels will spin changing from 2nd to 3rd at 7k.
Ive heard that Mr Nock does it all the time!
Keith...
Nice one Ian cheers.:Thumbsup!

I heard Mr Nock actually runs Hoosiers and a wheelie bar thats why his avatar only shows the front of his car.:Giggle
Yep, adding extra fuel will help with the flatspot, but as I didnt have any gasket paper to hand I decided to forgoe that part...
Hmm - instructions? Would be easier with pictures, but:
If you can identify the primary and secondary throttle arms on the lhs of the carb near the firewall, you will see that when you press the throttle only the primaries open - but there is a lever that moves in the same arc to essentially release the secondary throttles. If you cable tie the secondary throttle arm to this then it will pull the secondary throttles open at the same time as the primaries - causing both a flatspot at low rpm/high throttle and extra midrange when floored at the right time.
Be careful that it is not too tight or the throttle will be held open at idle, or worse, jam open and not too loose as it will jump slip off.
Peak power shouldnt change, but the feel is different an makes the drive a little more fun.
Not sure if I explained that right - but if Tim has a photo then that would help.
Cheers Ramon I\'ll get a photo when it stops raining, somewhen next week no doubt! Next time I see you I expect you to be fully armed with gasket paper.
Just read the link from Ian which is interesting-didn\'t realise how tuneable a Nikki is.

Hoosiers are things for varicose veins? I want some!.....creaky joints can go away too....
Quote from: David Nock;713365Hoosiers are things for varicose veins?
Depends on your 60\' times!
Hi Ian,
Sorry to bug you again, but my emails keep bouncing back :(
If you could email me at socamoto at gmail dot com, that would be great, and hopefully get around the problem :)
Thanks again
Jon
