I thought you painted the car yourself earlier this summer?I did and it turned out looking like crap. It looked fine when it was in the shop but when i pulled it outside, it was blotchy as hell.

That is a very nice looking car, glad to see you got the roof straight
And i ran straight meth for a looooong time too, actually over 100 gal of it over a couple years, works great. BUT, i had a block with 2 broken pistons from when the pump quit one day. Go straight E85 and you would be far, far, far ahead man

that roof took me a solid 10 hours to get the dents out, bondo, and sand. Unless it is very minor, I will never do body work ever again, i hate it with a passion.

Btw, Who did your rebuild, and what turbo are you running now?
3mm Apex seals? -
Well after trying to rebuild it myself and losing compression everytime i sent it to a WI to a guy by the name of Howard Coleman. He put a pretty agressive port on top of the one I already had. And no, I am running 2mm. And I am running an ATP To4z turbo. thanks for the compliment.

Pressure switch could have been used to detect loss of pressure and shut down fuel/ignition to keep that from happining. I think the chance of those pumps failing are the same as a fuel pump failing. it happens. but not enough for me to be affraid to use it.

I'd prefer to have a standalone that can control the Meth as well, but they're aren't a ton of them out there, and they get pretty spendy.
I think the Haltech unit for the RX-7 is capable of h20/metch injection handling.
The Hydra is, but I don't think its offered for the rotaries, and its an $800 option... YIKES
In other news.. I really want to learn how to rebuild these things...

At least its "easier" to rebuild than a piston motor. Less moving parts to deal with.. anyway.LOL says the guy that has never had one apart..... Mr rotary man, you were talking about 3mm apex seals.... why or for what reason did they come about??
I like rotaries, i just got tired of the nervous feeling I got in my stomach every time in boost
