550cc RX7 injectors fit like a charm after you break the plastic tips off

I've got 6 460cc RX7 injectors from some 87 n/a's. I just dremmel'd down the plastic tips till they fit, cuz they won't spray right w/o them.

They both come as two seat 'sports cars' originating from Japan with the letter X in their nameplate and both were offered in some sort of "R" model at some point. Ya know, if you need a couple more 'connections'

I've been really tempted to do stuff for other cars. But for now I'm sticking to my guns and putting my full support toward the Z cars. I mean doing side jobs for people with different cars is cool with me, but I don't think I'll market anything. So if you ever want something made just let me know The RX-7 was my second choice to the Z and was actually one of the cars I was looking at til I couldn't resist the urge for the Z anymore. I was also wanting a 240SX but then they got too cliche so I decided to pass on those. It's the new Honda if you ask me. S13 anyways. Everyone and their mom thinks its cool to have one now Same thing that drove the Civic out of acceptance as a 'real' tuner car. But no doubt, the RX is one of my favorite cars and the Rotory has always been of interest to me. Every import I've owned has had the thought of a Wankel 13B entertained

J, you freaking own. I may definitely take you up on the custom parts deal soon.

Now, if I could find the link I once saw, of a guy in Aus that put a 12A into a Civic hatchback ...

That's good to hear S/C3.0, it looks like you are going to beat me in getting back on the road. My Z is dead in the water until I swap motors out of my '81. Man what a friggin' bummer.

Lookin great! I am sure you have said it before but I am just too lazy to go back look, what turbo is that? The prevous owner of my car recently replaced my turbo so it will do for now but some time in 2006 I plan to get something bigger, I was set on something simple like a t3/t04 but I have realized I want something bigger.

Thanks
and thats a mean looking Corrado, a lot of my friends are into VW's and Audi's
