Blew my engine last night.
Well it didnt break,
at first I thought so.. I was pulling into sonics on gandy with about 8 other RX7s,well my car was second and the bitch started studdering and driving like shit.Then it died and didnt want to start..
So I got all these people behind me so they go around a few people asked what was wrong.. but no one came back to help me get it into the lot,besides this one crazy ass white guy with a SE,(thanks!)he asked me if I wanted him to push it with his car,I said no.But then I remeber the welded diff,so I said fuck it yeah..
He pushed me into the lot.. So first thing I check was to see if all my ignition shit was connected,coils etc etc..
Yes they were,do i pulled my plugs and checked for compression to expect the worse,and thougth this was going to be my first blown rotary engine out of all the 7s I have owned..
But it was ok.. I look in my car and forgot I had to make a jumper wire for the fuel pump relay,it fell off and was opn the floor..
So I said fuck pushing a wire into the clip.. let me cut the wires from the harness and twist tie them,well 2 of the godf dam wires I cut was colored coded the same.I cut 3 wires instead of 2..
After a while,by this time JRenner/Leo and some Honda guys came to help.I was fuckin pissed and just wanted toi light this pos on fire and leave it..
Well I was back tracing wires,checking them with my test light etc etc,,then fouind out I must of burnt out a wire going to the fuel pump etc etc,so I had to make a jumper wire from an ignition source..
Well I found one and it worked..
Out of 10 RX7s who where there,only a few stayed,or even bothered to come help.. Its alright though,Cause id rather do it myself then having people assuming whats wrong..
Yes its running,and yes I now felt the fear of a broken apex seal,but with out braking one..

Yeah I just got to go out and get some fittings and wire the holley in sometime this week.. I ran the car last night with Joe, I was just spining in first,hit second hard as shit the car pulled on him so bad,but then top of 2nd and 3rd,not enough fuel ..
glad it's ok man. That's kinda messed up that no one else gave you a hand. I've had people come to the rescue from 20 miles away, and I've done it for others. You bet I'd help out a fellow rotary brother, specially at a meet.
Yes I would have helped others too,and have traveled to do it..
But dam there was about 7-8 RX7s behind me,they parked no one came over to help push,and the welded diff is a bitch to push.But the one white guy helped me get it out of the way by using his car.So I owe him one.. I would say a few people came by when I was working on it to ask whats wrong,I knew where to start but made it worse when I cut the harness to jump the wires,and the 2 wires I cut was color coded the same which one was wrong.. So I had 3 wires to play with,then I migth of burnt out a wire to the pump.So I had to run it straight..
I will still be in Orlando..
