ive never been showered by cd's and mine isnt too bulky. not sure mine was free from college so its a cheap made one but is probably less bulky than the ones in the store. i also have my cd's facing the headliner so you cant see them if the visor is up

I wont lie, I have be thinking about adding more power.
It already has a lot of torque steer though! lol

I would have to do one of two things to do that because the pulleys are ultra close to the block as a close profile due to the lack of space (No lack above it, near truck hood clearances.) As far as tuning goes, I dont really know how to go about that... Anyways.

1.) Change snout to a M122 snout.
2.) CNC a sit in lower pulley and figure out how to mount and use the pulley bridge from an 03/04 Cobra.

I may not have the room to route intake tubing though.
There is enough hood clearance to possibly use a lightning M112 though.

The other option is to skip all that and put a M122 on.
Snout is short enough, still bolts to adapter and the inlet is on the correct side.
Of course I would need a Cobra Jet throttle body for it which is about $600 X_X

Honestly I think the hardest part of this would be tuning, finding a place that can do it.

The exhaust manifolds are really pathetic too so some custom headers would be in order.


but this is all just for fun, unless a lot of money lands in my lap its not going to happen. :P


Having them facing the headliner helps, our old holder was from Wal-Mart years ago.

Not to mention if money DID land in my lap, I wouldnt go much above 300fwhp or so.
I wouldnt want to do more than just bolt ons to something like this.

I was also thinking about a STS style remote single turbo to try to keep fuel economy up but still have the power.

but again, its all just fun to think about, not really going to do anything.

i hate my car, i love my car, i hate my car, i love it, but really, i wanna pour gas on it and burn it.

obd2 wont let me read codes, trans wont go into 3rd and will only go into 2nd if i put the shifter into 2. iac valve is ****ed and it idles at 2k+.

wish i had the money for 5 speed swap but irs is gonna take all spare cash.

When I had that corroded cable coming off the underhood fuse box I couldnt get my OBDII to read either. It was a low voltage issue.

You need to see Bruce's set up (if you haven't already):

Nice, I havnt seen that one yet.
Thanks for the link.

I wonder what his torque steer will be like when he is done. :P

I'll let ya know in a couple weeks, gotta put new upper control arms on it now been TRYING to get the RX-7 to the track on test and tune night since I've upped the boost, but it's been either raining or "too hot" and the track is closed :/

03shadow

new uppers huh? are you looking for upgrades or just replacement? I still have mine sitting in the garage in a box

sIx

replacement bushing... somehow I managed to bust a lakewood polyurethane bushing.

On another note I've been thinking realllllllyy hard about selling off some of the toys and trying to get a '13 GT... I'm tired of having to work on all my crap just to keep it running all the time


It dumb... hit something in the road and busted the oil cooler in the Jag, lost oil on me and it's knocking now... RX7 needs a new fuel pump, and the mustang is just old and falling apart on me lol
