Thanks matey, i\'ll give him a try. If not i will get in touch with you

Blimey! Its been a long time since i have been on here.
Hey folks, sorry to chime straight in with a question.
Car has been sat on drive for best part of 4 years, as you can imagine looking
very tatty and sorry for herself. Recently ive started thinking about getting it road worthy
again. However before i start spending too much money i would like a compression test.
Does anyone do a mobile service? I live in Slough. Any help with this is appreciated
Thanks

cheers fellas will have a look at ignition barrel, would of thought if it was battery or bad earth then the dash wouldnt light up but will check wiring also

hi peeps. after a short run, usually when i go to re-start the car. turn the key and the dashboard lights up but car wont turn over. sit in the car turn the key anything up to 10-12 times then she fires up. so far changed the starter motor and also immoboliser but problem still persists. any ideas???

ive been looking at an Ings bodykit, anybody know what the fit is like?
cheers

if you dont have any luck nearer home theres one in Bourne End, just outside Maidenhead. heres his web site. //www.ajtrimming.co.uk

well its unclear at the mo will get a compression test done tomorrow hopefully. but it feels like its missing as you you get to the top of the rev range. last time this got progresively worse until it wouldnt go up a hill. anyway not casting any aspersions as dont know for sure but just feels the same. it threw a side seal and a corner seal last time and although i wasnt told this at 2nd rebuild i thought it may have been something to do with the standard ecu and fueling which is why i got the apexi fitted hoping to avoid it happing again

i thought having the pfc and mapping done would make it more relliable and safer.

i have no reason to question either parties workmanship and as far as i am aware all work carried out to high standard however after £0000\'s spent my cars running like crap!

Quiet often a bad map can blow an engine, I cant see an engine builder giving a warentee on anothers tuning.
Why did you not go to the engine builder for mapping first?
Why involve another vendor?

i can see what your saying and i\'m not blaming anyone.
just a little history for you
bought car and had apexi filters and racing beat exhaust fitted and de catted
6 months later as i had the cash and car was beyond 60k, i had engine rebuilt and little porting. nothing wrong with car but didnt want it to blow when i was skint.
2k miles later side seal and corner seal failed. no apparent reason for this.
had engine re built under warranty. everybody happy no probs
mentioned to builder about having power fc fitted + mapping, vendor says buy pfc and run on base map till have more mods.
2 months later after gathering some more funds decided i should get some gauges put in as worried about standard oil pressure gauge not moving at all.
decided at this point to have pfc + map done. after finding out from engine builder at last visit that mine was the only auto he had worked on, didnt see much point in taking it there for mapping.
anyway had mapping done elsewhere, (boost wasnt increased or anything)
car ran fantastic for 2 weeks but today it started showing same symptoms as before.
as i said, not blaming anyone just seeing what you guys think
with hindsight i would do alot of things different, its just this learning curve is far to expensive for me!

thats what i thought, to be honest with you.will give him a ring though. this rx7 lark is starting to get me down. after having the car for 16 months. it being off the road for about 7 months 10 grand spent and 2 engine builds later i think its gone again :Grrr

hi people
  dont know if anyone has any experience on this one, but i will ask anyway
i have had my engine rebuilt by 1 of the vendors above and since then have had a power fc fitted and mapped by another of the vendors. does the waranty on the rebuild still apply? dont know if it makes any difference or not but this would also be the 2nd claim on the waranty. the power fc and mapping was done after the 1st claim
 any advise appreciated

didnt buy a pfc from them,  bought some used hks hard pipes. they arrived within 7 days didnt pay any duty and they even worked out £5 cheaper than the ones i missed out on here :p

nice 1
        out of curiosity how much is the gear box conversion costing? thinking about this myself

thanks people, booked in to have power fc and mapping
