  1. Got one of these off ebay, cost me 192 shipped. Won the auction at 162. The unit is 17.5 x 11.75 x 3" core, end to end about 24-25". Inlet/outlet at 3" wide, and it's bar and plate. Seems a tad heavy at about 18-19 lbs, but it's not exactly small. It's not not baby-butt smooth on the inside, but it's not rough casting either. I'll post better pics that I'll take of it when I get home. I'll also mock mount it this weekend and take pictures too I found out why these knock off ICs are so cheap: asian manufacturers buy bulk cores for turbo diesel trucks, cut'em up and weld tanks on them. Probably costs 30-40 bucks to manufacture said intercooler. This is the place I bought it from: http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZhiprollc http://www.hiprollc.com/
  2. inline = external universal unit in-tank = internal unit, application specific to the vehicle.
  3. lol, i think you guys are missing the point that a chrome plated rotor would lack friction

  5. you guys want to be really freaked out? I mean, REALLY freaked out? Those of you using mozilla/firefox: http://www.shmoo.com/idn/ mouse over on paypal.com link. Then CLICK paypal.com link. Look at the URL at the top. Do math, and read the link about IDN info below. This was unveiled 2 weeks ago, and would be an excellent tool for phishing scams.
  6. I found those on a Z in a junkyard, pulled them and bought'em. SOld them to a guy on a zforum in AZ, forgot his name. They weighed about 16lbs each, magnesium wheels I think. Had the same shelby caps too
  7. Heh, I have a Neon R/T, do I qualify as a mopar guy? lol it has half a hemi in it!
  8. Nice! but forget the 360, do a 340 6pack, or a 440 actually, if you're interested, my friend has a '72 fury III with police package and a semi-dead 400 under the hood... for sale...
  9. May I suggest painting the calipers? I didn't do mine, and the aftermath wasn't pretty - unless you like rust colored calipers
  10. I've got an autometer phantom series 5" electronic speedo (thanks Mikelly!) to hook up to my rotary swap. Problem: I have an rx7 transmission with mechanical speedo plug. Solution: Call autometer, and ask them to tell you where to get a speedo sensor for their tach. They usually only make ford/chevy sensors, however, there's a 3rd party company they always refer people to for custom speedo sensors. That's where I got mine. I'd give you the info, but the receipt is at another house at the moment. If I get it later, I'll post it here. It's some place in montana called speedometer warehouse, or something to that extent. Cost me $95

  12. i run 225/50/15s on all 4 corners, no rubbing, with gc coilovers. rims at 0 offset
  13. Tim: 3rd gen RX7s (all twin turbos) suffer from some faults imposed by american smog laws, causing them to overheat and encounter failure due to concentrated heat and backpressure. 1st and 2nd gen naturally aspirated motors clock out 150-180k without any problems. My friend had a 1989 rx7 GTUs, with 180k on the clock. We drove the car into his garage, pulled the motor out to replace it with a rebuilt turbo block. It ran just fine until we removed it
  14. you mean, if mazda didn't have to comply with US's smog laws, and put restrictors between the cats, and didn't have that much heat build up and backpressure, so that it would cause teh engine to go POP... solutions: replace your cooling pipe with an efini metal y pipe, replace all vaccuum lines with silicon hoses, if you need to rebuild the motor, my friend can do it cheap for you in a span of a weekend, provided you give all the parts necessary. don't do any fuel/turbo/exhaust mods without first confirming that the ECU can handle it without being reprogrammed. They tend to be finicky to changes Sorry if I am treating you like a newbie, don't know your rotary skillset/knowledge. Of course, you can always go the mas280 route and stuff an ls1 in it Which I think you should
  15. no. only 84 na 300zx had 4 lug rotors. all rotors from 85 up for na AND turbo were 5 lug
  16. first, do free checks. 1. see if there's a bios update for your motherboard 2. pull out 128mb dimm and see how it works. if there's no change, pull the 256 one, but leave teh 128 in. troubleshoot. if it shows a different number, something's wrong with the ram identifier on the dimm chipset 3. the above comment about a better videocard is dead on. PM me and remind me to look around, I may have a spare diamond 32 meg agp somewhere, I think. You can have it for cost of shipping if I find it 4. Lose the duron 700. That's about as fast as a celeron 400. It has 64k cache, and is DOG slow. Find a used athlon xp 1500+ or higher (number does not equal actual speed, 1500 is more like 1.2 ghz) and use that. 384k l2 cache > 64k l2 cache 5. I'm not sure if that motherboard properly allocates ddr memory. I would try pc133 if your board supports it, you may ahve better luck. Something tells me you have an ECS K7S5A motherboard that supports both PC133 and DDR memory banks, but only one set at a time. to those bashing XP: it's actually one the most robust OS microsoft has produced for the end user since windows 3.11 (which wasn't even an OS). Mine hasn't BSOD'd since I've installed it 2 years ago. I had a small problem with first release of SP2, but system recovery actually did a wonderful job on the rollback.
  17. good to know, since I have about 6-7 feet of alum tubing to run! that's about 2lbs of weight savings!
  18. and I have no answer whatsoever nice! reasons for aluminum? a. weight b. no rust i have leftover stainless steel tubing, but I don't want to use that. I suppose aluminized steel would be just fine. not too heavy, and won't rust because it's not exposed to the elements as much
  19. mcmaster.com has 6 feet for 42 bucks. add tax and shipping, about 60. ebay shops want about 16 bucks per 16". 25 bucks per mandrel bent 2.5" diameter tubing in 90* angles... anyone have any recommendations for online shops?
  20. hey, if you cut me in on 20% of the crack you sell, I won't turn you in
  21. OK, if I get a chance I'll check it out. It started pouring heavily today, so it also depends if it's severely flooded. I'll see what I can do
  22. "I have some good news, and some bad news" give me the good news first, doc "you're cured from cancer!" and the bad news? "you now have aids" -- sorry, that was tasteless on my behalf
  23. Tim, I was at the JY yesterday, and I found an opel GT, almost complete, sitting there by its lonesome in the nissan isle. If I go back next weekend and it's there, you want anything off it?
