I wanna run my Supercoupe at road course... the stock racing type suspension is something i want to try out on it haha. hmmm 2 Rx7's and a 280Z...mines fuel injected though...wonder who would win?


In other news, i got my truck back from the shop today, it was just too cold for me to get on the ground and change my torque converter...which happened to NOT be the problem anyways, turns out my harmonic balancer had came apart...but wasnt wobbling when you took the belts off for some reason... but its fixed and running the best it has since i put this motor in

Would not be the 280Z, its on jack stands right know.lol

I would be willing to run my crown vic with an RX7, the police cars are faster than most people think if you give them a few mods.

Yeah, I took it in today and it failed. I am at a toss up, how much more do I invest in the truck, or do I cut the losses?

The stuff causing that won't be real high dollar.
I would start a thread for this to get the most help, but I can help some.

What motor?
Are the plugs and plug wires fairly new and is the carb tuned?
Does it idle nice and smooth, or does it have a miss to it?
