Scalded Cat!
Flyboy Started conversation Oct 17, 2000
I finally gave in and bought a new timing light last week. Friday I had a chance to work on the RX-7 and got after it. I found the timing was advanced by about 50*. I didn't know it would run with that much timing. Resetting the timing to stock fixed everything. The car now runs like a scalded cat! Shifting at 7000 rpm is a rush, and the engine has no trouble getting there. I'm going to have to get a stopwatch out and see what kind of 0-60 times I'm getting. I'm thinking it's in the 7-8 second range.
Now I'm saving up money for an electric fan, a header, a Paul Yaw modified Nikki carb, an MSD/2nd gen ignition upgrade, and the last few tidbits to get my '82 radiator and oil cooler installed. I'm having so much fun with my RX-7 I just gotta say, "what Camaro?"
