1989 RX7 FC\'d...again!

Kamatari · September 20, 2011, 09:55:53 PM

Well for those who saw my thread in the chat section.. I have just got back from picking up my second FC! No pictures yet as its dark so expect some soon!

So what can i tell you from my journey back? one difference between my two is this one has the old style rear lights lol...

One thing they have in common is rust though! Now from a quick visual inspection there is looking to be quite a bit of rust in same places and new so im uncertain of the future of this car!

Now the car has a similar problem to a thread not long started about the misfire below 2.5k, the car is idling a bit low but thats easy enough to bump up but below 3k really its very jumpy and alot of backfiring which is quite loud (but i quite like it at times heh).. i\'m going to check spark plugs, leads etc as suggested and see if i can get it sorted, The engine has just over 100k on it but it had a rebuild at about 75k...

So thats that for now! Tomorrow i will get some pictures and start checking things out and we shall see how it goes!

We love FC\'s

Kamatari · September 20, 2011, 10:39:12 PM

Yes we do!

I\'ve got a lot of car for the price and if I used it for parts I\'ve got my moneys worth heh

I\'m hoping the missfire isn\'t too bad though be nice to have it running great

mine likes to pop a lot when off throttle at around 3k revs, and it feels a bit kangarooey when coasting in gear at low revs too, I think its just the cars, maybe slight overfuelling but just a general issue with them

If you start it up somewhere that doesn\'t have at least 23 acres of open ground to you also get watering eyes and the inevitable hacking on richness also? :Laugh

My Egi use to flood itself daily and fire flames out the exhaust on high rpm gear changes, they are good cars though if only they were a bit faster

What\'s that? Excuse to hoof it around you say? :Laugh

B.Martin · September 21, 2011, 07:47:30 AM

If you get out the car, got to the rear and look on the boot you should see something like this...

That is all the excuse you need to \'hoof it\' around :Giggle

In ways thats what this one is doing but then my other doesnt and is all smooth (apart from the idle bounce lol)

B.Martin · September 21, 2011, 08:18:07 AM

I have to admit my egi was always quite smooth to drive, but i had history of a rebuild on mine. Its worth you all giving you egi\'s a proper proper service you know, including leads as well.
