Hi.
Is there anyone in here nearby or willing to travel to the Birmingham area to have a look at my car to see if my engine is running right? Surely just a drive you can compare to the power of your own car and see where mine lacks in certain points.. Just need peace of mind as i have no local rotary buddies :(
whats making you think there is something wrong mate
I dont know, i maybe just a bit paranoid but because ive never seen another working RX7 in my entire life and never sat in any other RX7 but my own i just want to make sure everything seems right with it? :(
It has an intermittent rough idle and sometimes conks out on me, i start it up and everything works fine again especially when i keep driving..when im stationary at traffic lights it holds its idle about 250-500rpm.. i have alot of aftermarket parts on such as intercooler,induction kit,exhaust but a stock ECU and according to Pip at WGT it hasnt been tuned, i dont know if thats why its idling rough sometimes.. Just need peace of mind mate..
I\'m in Solihull
Owned a 3rd Gen for 5 years - a 3 rotor cosmo for a year and currently have a T11
If you want to arrange to bring it over I\'ll compare.
Far from an expert but the offers there if it helps.

johnf thank you, that would be really helpful, im meant to go down to Solihull next week sometime to deliver a set of FD3S headlights for adarmo on here.. my email is matthew_bellamy@hotmail.co.uk (matthew_bellamy@hotmail.co.uk) and we can hopefully arrange a time,place etc. :)
If you are ever down in Wales pop in and i\'ll put the compression tester on it for you matey :Thumbs-up
Dave.
Thanks mate but Im afraid of that Dave... i dont know if i want to know how close it is to a rebuild especially now after losing my job recently.. :(
You mention Pip. Did he identify a problem with it? Might be worth asking him to have a check and test drive as he would have more experience than most.
has it been serviced ? plugs leads at all
if your after peace of mind mate i would take it to a specialist and get them to look at it :)
If its idle is 250-500 then thats to low, should be 750-850rpm im sure?
Also with those mods there is a chance you can hurt the car by giving it the beans so would need a re-mappable ECU (like an Apexi PFC) then needs to be properly tuned/mapped. This must be what Pip was referring to - as you say you have a standard ECU, these can not be re-mapped hense Pip saying it wasnt tuned properly?
Haven\'t you been told many times before you need a power fc and remap. Why don\'t you actually do that?
