3rd generation RX-7's / Scotland!?
April 11, 2010, 07:47:46 PM
Take it south m8, Im north of inverness and none of the body shops in the area would even touch my car let alone do any mechanical work on it. Id just hire a van and trailer and take it to wgt. I do know of a tuner near carlisle who has mapped rotories but he doesent have anything like the experiance of pip.

Hi All

Didnt know where to post this so here it is. I am doing a degree in motorsport engineering and am planning to model a FD3s engine in CAD. To do this I could really do with acurate plans / drawings of the engine\'s internals. The reason for doing this is that with the software I am using I can model different size / shaped ports and test therer flow rates amongst many other things. So yeah any plans would be great or even pointing me in the direction of websites which mite have the info I need would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Having a few probs , car was sat for a while and now isnt runninright.

Basically it acselerates slowly making a small boost on part throttle.

Full throttle it doesent boost properly at all and hesitates and doesent seam to want to go at all.

Ive had it all apart several times, thought it was to do with the rats nest so stripped that all out an simplified it all but it didnt help. Took out the Bosch fuel pump and checked that lst nite seam all ok put it all bck together and it seams to be running a lil bit betta.

Im just running the Apexi base map ( havent got it mapped cos I live so far north ) . Had been running fine b4 being laid up for a while. Fuel is fresh sheel optimax.

Any help suggestions would be appreciated thanks

Apexi PFC, Apexi AVC-R , Stock engine rebuilt Hayward , Stock Turbo\'s rebuilt 1K ago, Blitz FMIC, RE-A Intake, Feed Downpipe, Silenced Mid Pipe, Back box. Double throttle removed, rats nest simplified. Bosch 044 fuel pump

Technical Stickies / Fuse Layout
September 02, 2008, 09:48:31 PM
The more i look at these the more I think there is one missing for the RHD model.

Middle top  shows 3x 5x fuse box and a 2x 3x fuse box for all of the lights fuses P - U.

None of the RHD fuse boxes list fuse P - U and ive not been able to locate it on my car.

Anyone know where those fuses are located on a 93 import?

3rd generation RX-7's / Landrover Hit me :(
July 29, 2008, 02:22:40 PM
Thanks for the support guys. No end in sight at the moment. Still ringing up all the time trying badger them in to settleing. Checked with my solicitor and the cheque was not full and final settlement so there was no problem cashing it.

The essence of what they are saying is that they never recieved the agreed value documentation for the policy, they also failed to tell me this untill I was 3/4 months into the claim.

Im gonna be sending clive a message bout this to see if he is able to be of any further help and also to say I dont believe the club should be recomending them in future. When I first signed up with them 3 ish years ago there was a dedicated guy there who knew what you were talking about and rang you back and was generally helpful but the people that ive been dealing with have to have everything explained to them and dont seam to grasp the cost, value, time , effort that has gone into the car.

The way they have delt with my claim doesent make it hard to understand why there are so many fradulent claims made against them.

Spoke to my solicitor today and he has reomended I take it to the ombudsman so thats whats happening next. Been trying to get through to the person at AON that I was dealing with but they havent returned my calls that I made surprise surprise. Recieved a letter from AON the other day saying they were looking into what was said when I took out the policy but have been unable to locate anything so far as they were moving offices at the time.

Basically not got anywhere and they have wasted more of my time

Not really a lot to report. Friday was the two week notice id given to AON and to Royal Sun Alliance to get it all sorted out. Royal Sun Alliance have been talking to me but AON havent.

They have sent me a cheque for £4220 but this is not final settlement.

There is quite a bit of confusion at the moment as AON sent me a letter saying that RSA were not preparred to accsept the Agreed valuation and the the claim would be settled on an market value but when I brought this matter up with RSA there man had no idea what they were talking about as its AON that make the agreed valuation decision.

Read out the whole letter to him over the phone to which he said he was going to have to make further enquieries because it didnt make sense and it certainly seams like AON havent been telling the truth to be honest.

Going to be setting the ball in motion for going to the insurance ombudsman on monday.

Spoke to the head guy at my broker on tuesday. Asked him how he would feel if I reversed into his car then in 4 months time his insurance company offered him less than half of what it was gonna take to put right. Was a bit of mumbled reply that he wouldent be very happy.

Gave them 14days to settle in full before I start the ball rolling with the insurance ombudsman.

Im saving more than a small fourtune not running the car though lol.

Had a e-mail from AON today. They turned round and said they ahd never recieved the indipendent valuation of the vehicle when the policy was taken out so the car was on market value only. I forwarded the valuation that Clive had done for the car dated back in March. There email today said after careful consideration they have declined the valuation and the claim well be settled on a market value basis only.

Think the insurance ombudsman is gonna be getting a call cos im sick of the whole thing now. Also AON mysteriously cant find any record of the orgional quote I recievied where I queried what would happen if the car was damaged and the paint couldent be matched to which the reply was that the car would have a full respray.

The only people who have been helpful and got back to me and returned my calls has been the appointed solicitors but they cant give me advice against AON or Royal Sun Alliance. Free legal advice unless theres a conflict of interests.
