Mazdabater just joined

Hey guys alot of you probably know me off qss, just logged onto this site because you guys actually seem to get out and do things unlike that other site. If you see me out and about don't hesitate to come up and say hello. I haven't got any recent pics of my car at the moment but it's an 89 RX7 Turbo (89 is series 5) with quite an extensive list of mods, of the top of my head

There is probably more that I'm missing but you get the idea. I just installed the new turbo kit etc and it turns out i have a faulty wastegate thats staying open and wont allow the car to run more than 6psi and isnt creating any boost till after 5k, however its still making 205rwkw on 6 psi so it should be alot of fun when its running the 20psi it should be.

Whoa!!! You gotz a good memory!!!

Hope to see ya out n about sometime!!

Not so much that, i've just spent way to much time working on the car so i remember what most the parts on it are. I dont think there is anything left on it that i havent touched now. i even did most of the prep work for the respray lol

Is this the red series 5 with black rims??

oh yeah, welcome to the forum . Dont be shy to step up and say HI if you see any of us out. We're fairly friendly and dont often bite

Yeah its red with a gold pearl through it, i used to have to drive past your work on the way home from work lol. I figured my car suited the site given that its only a 1.3L haha

Welcome mate. Keen to see this beast out. We try and get together at least once every couple of weeks for a cruise or BBQ somewhere. And of course most of us are out on Thursdays and weekends.

Yeah well hopefully it will be back in the shop this week, i brought the turbo kit from down south so im hoping they just send me a replacement wastegate and i can send them back the dud. I'm normally out quite a bit just not recently as ive been sticking this turbo on for about the last month, it also had a busted diff mount for a while before then

Weve been lacking a rotory on the site. Hope you get the wastegate sorted. Boost problems plague my exsistance as well.

Yeah, should be alot of fun when it is should pull a bit over the 300rwkw mark so i should be into the 11's =D

I saw you saturday!

Yeah I've been out and about quite a bit this weekend i only got the car back friday arvo, almost chewed a full tank of fuel, the new injectors really suck the juice. Thinking about going for a bit of a drive soon

8pm I'll be there, breakwater I guess. I figure you'd know my car Ek Civic Yellow with black rims.

Hey found a few pics i had uploaded to my myspace page so here they are:

My car just after the respray (note the wing and rear wiper did go back on)



My car and an rx5



This is my engine bay half way through the turbo install, it was taken on my phone so its pretty poor quality



My recent failed dyno run on 6psi, note how late its coming on boost

Yeah i'll see if the gf want's to go for a bit of a spin. Hopefully i got some premix laying around or i gotta get some boat 2 stroke oil from BP again lol

Bahahah or you could get two rocks and smash em together.

Lol do many of the guys off this site go out on a sunday night?

Usually an afternoon cruise on Sundays. Thursday nights are a go'er and sometimes Saturday nights.

Yeah well seems i'm going for a spin right now so ill keep an eye out for ya tim

hey mate welcome to the site

Hi Chris. Enjoy, gotta tee up a ride in that beast... I remember when you shifted hard next to me when I had the GT-R and it fueled up like a mofo and sent a nice crack and flame out the zorst.... I was creaming in my panties... I mean I jizzed in my pants! Yeah that sounds better.

Yeah well it used to shoot flames more often, but now when it does do it wholy puppy, I upped it going past a mates place in a quiet street lol then all i saw was the street light up in both my side mirrors lol they are bloody massive now, and thats with a brand new cat

Is this Marco's old RX7 by any chance?

YAY! Fellow Mazda owner!

Nah its not marco's old rx7 i dont even know who that is lol, I've had this thing for around 3 years now brought it from down in brisbane, I'm the second owner since it's been in AUS and the first guy only had it for 6 months

Looking good Chris, been a while since i saw it out though..... last time i saw it was before i moved away last year.....
