Thanks richee3 for making this post. I was still trying to find the words. I think flowers is a great idea. I know his mother would appreciate them the most. Ill make sure she gets them. I still don't really have the words. He was my brother, my best friend and my partner with the cars. I don't know what I'm going to do without him. |

Any dealership can order you one with the part numbers listed above. The problem comes in finding a part counter guy willing to special order it for you. But try hard enough and you will find one. Additionally the UK guys claim they are all over the junkyards in the UK. Make friends with someone in the UK on this site and be nice and buy him/her some beer for their trouble - Thats essentially how I got mine |

Any junkyard with Camrys, Celicas, MR2's will most likely have one. The place I go to has several lieing around. |

Could anybody that has used either 550cc or 460cc RX-7 injectors tell me what kind of injector seals will fit the injectors and the 5S head as well? The 5s injector seals are too small for the RX-7 injectors and the RX-7 injector seals are too big for the 5S head. i had a cali head, so i used the large 5s orings, streched around the 460s, with no o ring on the tip of the injector, iirc. the way it worked out, the large seal that presses against the head is all that created the seal to the head with the way the cali head is. the tips of the 460s didnt seat into the oring boss that is farther into the head, IIRC. Yup - that's the way mine worked out too. Didn't know there was a difference in the non-cali head cause mine was a Cali spec as well. |

Don't let it get to you, most of us are pretty chill. As are the mods but they DO have a job to do and they def do it well IMO [Tho I have been on the receiving end of a "scolding" and I CAN sympathize - let it go. This place is AMAZING and has helped a lot of us get to heights we wouldn't have been capable of otherwise. It is totally worthwhile being a member here ] Hi Guys, Thanks for all the supporting messages and the not so lol, thread has started in projects!!! Kev Awesome bro! I too want to see this rally build so I'm off to see it right now! Here's to hope that you can teach US a few things! |

Ditched the riser blocks for the standard two post spoiler. I think I like it better this way. Its more subtle. I consider this every other morning that I drive the car. I think when I loose the GT4 spoiler it'll be to wingless alltogether. I too, am glad to see you still daily drive her Art - keepin her clean |

Nice work! I noticed a distinct lack of poly-mounts tho. Try that again with poly's and I will bow before your prowess |

FYI - OEM is the only way to go on that cap and rotor. The ones from parts houses are crap. Also the OEM ones dont cost much if any more [They're actually cheaper for me but I get a 30% discount from dealer] |

i bought new ones from dealer.... expensive well worth it. Yeah but they don't come in black IIRC. If they do please LMK I've got several sets including one set of the vert ones and I'm willing to donate to make this happen. Unfortunately my DIY skills do not include sunvisors and grey on an otherwise all black interior looks like... |

I want mine done in black as well. I snagged some camry ones from a junkyard and tried my hand at them but didn't like the results at all. Seems like someone could make a quick buck offering these as a service to this community. |

I don't even wanna think about installing the rear mount on the tranny/crossmember with a solid mount LOL - I HATE that mount Good luck with the search and be sure to link it back here if you find anything. Someone in the future will want these I'm sure. |

Pioneer. Definitely Pioneer. Kenwood is ****. Had two Kenwoods (they came with each car), never buying one for sure. That's funny that you say that because they are LITERALLY made in the same Chinese factory in Shanghai. I've been there and toured the place and listened to them describe the differences [Of which there are very few]. Perhaps it just so happened that I got to try two bad Kenwood products and one outstanding Pioneer head unit (in the same price range) My bad - it was JVC I was thinking of. I got to looking through my pics from that trip and it was JVC being made in the Kenwood factory. Sorry bro. BTW - My vote goes to Kenwood [Not the best but def the best bang for the buck] but just dont pic the two decks Nihil got LOL |

Here is a picture of the rim's I'm thinking about maybe you can give me an opinon. Current size are 15inch, I'd probably go with 16 so not to throw off the speedometer, and plus anything bigger would probably raise the car up and force me to get it lowered lol. Rim size doesn't throw off the speedo or raise the height by itself. All you need to do is maintain the overall tire diameter to retain the original speedo and height. 16" wheels make almost no appreciable difference in handling characteristics or aesthetics. 18" rims IMO are too rough in ride quality but are a VERY common upgrade to these cars. IMO a 17" rim is the perfect balance between handling and looks and I think you'd find that they are the most common size of aftermarket wheels added to cars on this site. If you'd like - take a look at the pics on my profile - those are 17" rims. You'd be surprised how much better they look and the improvement to handling makes this car way more interesting to drive. I really like the nice clean look you have going on with your vert so far - keep her clean |

Could also be fuel cut perhaps? IDK what ECU he's running so IDK what his stock fuel cut would be, whether he's equipped with a FCD or active MAP clamp etc. Just a thought. |

BTW - Hardtarget's car was a full drag car with the engine mounted longi rather than tranverse IIRC. So yeah - good luck with that. Making them will be fairly simple tho. Wanna link us to this project? I'd like to see your plans/progress. EDIT* NVM found it myself |
