there seems to be more and more fd\'s coming out in the NE that i have never seen before.

do you have a boost gauge fitted?? check to see if its fluctuating around on idle.

another thing is not to let the fuel light come on, the tank isnt the best design and the fuel sloshes around picking up air. will be ok if driving steady.

yeah ive had mine for 5 years now i just rarely used it untill last year when it became a daily drive, yes it has the defi boost oil & oil temp gauges fitted and the boost one is now very jittery (cant really think of a better word to describe it ) where it used to be very smooth. Had a word with carl at haywards yesterday and he also is 90% sure its shot a tip. Not sure what to do now tbh .....

so im guessing compresson testing is the next step ?

francovel was it just the tip u blew or did it cause major damage ( ill be no doubt pulling it out and seeing if i can replace it myself)  

yeah he has driven lots of other high performace cars before ( hes 37) guess it was just an unlucky decision by me

ugh this isnt sounding good , is that possible with the internals being relatively fresh ?

Ok, so last week a friend wanted to have a go and see what rx7\'s are like to drive, gave him keys & tell him to bang £15 in as it was on the light to make sure it didnt run out.

15 mins later he comes back and the car is missing on idle intermittantly, the knock light is also coming on now on boost occasionally and when backing off the throttle. Asking what petrol he put in he tells me \'normal unleaded\' :Grrr, so thinking this might be something to do with it i go and fill the tank with super & hope this will sort the problem. It does seem to as the knock light now isnt coming on as much and the missfire has died down a lot 9 but not gone).

After a day or so of this still being present decide to change the plugs as they hadnt been replace in a while and may have also finally given up ( coincidence ?? ). A new set of ngk \'9\'s are ordered and fitted ( whilst fitting i notice previousley 10\'s had been fitted all round ?? ), take car out for a spin seems to be still slightly missing again and now when the second turbo comes online it feels like a fuel cut is coming in ( lots of pops & bangs from exhaust & doesnt want to pull higher up the rev range )

Whilst on idle car no longer sounds smooth and more of an american muscel car note .... any ideas ?? :3Confused  

Car is 93 k import with knight sports twins, apexi filters & ecu. Was rebuilt in 2005 by reworx just before i purchased it and has done 10-12k since then with only occasional use at weekends untill this year when i had been using it almost daily.

Does anyoine know the dealer name / descripton for the D100 box that sit behind the dash

Basically i have a hightpitched beep which is continuous (beeeeeeeeeee..etc) while the car is running, its not one of the oil pressure /water level /temp etc sensors as they are all fine.
Called reworx and they said \'yeah its the d100 box which controls lights & indictors and a few other things, (so i thought great ).
Thing is the local mazda parts dept have no idea what this is and no search brings anything up, anyone know exactly where its located or what its dealer part name could be ??:3Confused

alex, when chris was trying to get some new lights for the bumper he said apparently someone told him they were the same as a certain old model porsche light. Might be able to get a clear set via that route :Thumbs-up

Is this anyone on here ? seen it a few times now in the last few weeks.

This one been kicking around a while too

That was my mates old car, he swapped it with someone on ebay for a subaru last year. Shame he hasnt decided to keep it as it was a real nice car in the flesh ( i helped put that \'new\' engine in which was a hell of a lot easier than i expected :Thumbs-up )

ive seen this too, although my works van had slightly less chance of catching it :Tongue1

carlos, what make of spoiler is that you have fitted ??

Differing views are what keeps this world interesting ! otherwise we would all have the same bumper ...wheels etc !

Nice car mate, not made my mind up about the graphics but love the rest :Thumbs-up
