3rd generation RX-7's / Response to a Reported Post

Quote from: johnf;736487Due to my recent involvement with James McCarthy I feel that I must comment.

I feel that James McCarthy should be paying off the £1400.00+ awarded to me by the Courts before funding projects like this.
 
Take a moment to consider how you would feel in my position upon seeing his post and reading praise for him and his work knowing you will have to wait 5 years to get paid a Court Judgement against him at £25.00 a month, being all the poor hard up guy can afford.

Full details here

Hi John,

Slightly off key i feel in the rather deliberate attempt there to smeer me there. However i see your point in your comments and take on board how you may feel pee\'d off after seeing this thread up. I will draft a responce together for your above post/thread as i feel it miss\'s a few key points and actually how i was unware that the thread indeed even existed. Once i have done that then people can dicide for them selves weather the charactor assassination is just or unfair.

What i will say here in responce to "funding a project like this". I have been doing this car for 2 and half years. And once in a blue moon get a chance to work on it. I Think if "funding" (your term) it was readily available i think she might be a little further along than this. I have no shame in admitting that buisness is slow and finacially in general at the moment im not in the best place.

As above i will indeed draft a responce to your thread and submitt it so people can indeed make up there own minds. I have no intention of comming to blows on the thread dispite the clearly antagonistic nature of your post. These threads are about the cars not personal grievances.

Quote from: RotorHeid;719985Hello, I got a N/A FC 13Bpp road going car and doing sundays run now and again..
 4 gallon petrol tank  from full to empty at 60 miles at 70 MPH =15 mpg which\'s pretty very good.
nice sound of raw power goes with it too. turbo, too quite for my likely but N/A\'s better for sounding..........
all with 51mm weber...which\'s pretty cool and FJ\'s good for low speed fuelling/pickup etccc. but at the WOT, both Weber/FJ\'s got the same power.
 there you go and N/A\'s win all my mark.;)

there you go then. Double figures. cool.

Quote from: Steve-A;719926I guess daily drivability comes down to your millage? If your daily tasks are just popping to the shop and you walk to work etc then I guess its plenty easy enough. If you\'ve a 80mile round trip commute or something then as you say, you might need a direct account with shell :P do some on the move fill ups like airplanes can

Quote from: Prof;719927He probably lives 5 mins / 1 gallon away from work :D

Its about 25 miles from home to work, morning traffic takes about 40 mins

Quote from: dthebuk;719916look bad as. Could do with a little more offset/lows/stretch on the front IMO.

I still don\'t get how you plan to use this as a daily!!!

I\'m going to attach stretchy petrol pump hose direct to the engine :chat

Probibly not to be honest as this is my daily driver. I\'ll save the cage for the 20B one :D

2nd generation RX-7's / Suspension options FC - discuss

I\'m my opinion don\'t bother with coilover unless you have a £2K plus budget and your prepared to look at Nitron/Ohlins/Aragosta etc etc.

For an AWSOME road/track set up get a set of RB anti roll bars, with end link kit, Sport Bilstein dampers and some thing like a Tanabe GF/ or Eibach spring set. Too many people fit coilovers and just leave them to take care of the body roll by stiffening them up. Not the way forward. Good quaility stiffer roll bars will take soo much stress off the dampers and allow them to work way more efficiently through the bends. thus giving you a better handling car.
