just got the 34 back from the panel beaters and Fark the front bar looks soooo good......cost me a little bit more than expected but i was told why and i can understand and im happy with the price that i paid. the way its been fitted is fantastic......its been done sooo well.....normally underneath the drivers side headlight there is a bigger gap than what is under the passengers side....they are both even as now...

soooo soooo happy :) im definetly gonna be getting the guy to respray the car next year...........cant wait. and its a proper respray. taking her right back to metal!!!!!!!!!!!

That's absolute GOLD Matty........I felt like signing up on that forum just to post in that thread with my solution to his problem, drill holes in all 4 rims and chain all the wheels together....guaranteed to turn the same amount.......or not. Problem is, someone would reply and say, "great idea, might give it a go"! :down:

damo, will get quotes for ya on that

hav a laugh at this one :)

Surely something in his head said. "How will this turn once I've welded it up." Scarily I think he was serious. Some people should have their tools taken away. Sterilisation anyone??? lol

man. even i'm not stupid enough to do that..... wtf was he thinking? short answer, i guess he wasn't...

-D

im a big rota fan, if im ever in the position to build a project car again it will be sumthing with a stinking rota in it, that noise is pronz

I love RX7 had more then a few of them, I had 13 in my time (I bought wrecked ones to sell off for cash after body kitted and tricked out had a dealers license from mazda USA).. including two 1981 RX7 races cars, one full tilt body kitted ,tube frame beast built my Racing beat in California.

one car with full cage I drove for 11 yrs , 500,000 MILES on it not K's on factory tranny, and LSD. only blew a rotors seal after 400,000miles racing a 427 AC cobra. car still ran on 1 rotor but no power. always used mobil 1 and redline oils in tranny every 3k...never left me stranded !!!! unlike so many other cars

one with a 12A Bridge port motor.. lots and lots of rpm and noise from hell 300hp, NA

if I was building a low cost drift car, hands down it would be a RX7 due to the caining they can take and handle great, dont need a turbo to be fast in RX7, they just go even faster with turbs..lol

in USA RX7 are cheap as hell, why are they so much here????

I dont think the cops here would like the noise of a bridgeport motor at 13k..lol crotch rocket from hell noise..lol

I've always felt alot of tools drive rotaries ... but then again, alot of tools drive skylines and commonwhores too :)

Had a 13B in a 1600 years ago. That was fun. :down:

Oh bet that was fun

sad day when i sold my RX7 to my mate, he had 4 RX7 in his day, only to see him destroy the body kit in a week, bend the rims, and lock up the new motor by not putting oil in it.. he sold it to a wreckers for next to nothing before letting me buy it back,, it had at least 20k in racing parts on it still, stupid tool, we dont talk anymore.lol

all this talk makes me need a race car toy again..lol damn you guys!!!!corrupting me

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
