    wicked... so after about a month of driving around

    this is what #1 and #3 spark plug looks like... it looks gray-ish, brown-ish, almost white-ish.... but i also see dark spots around the rim area... you be the judge... a little lean?

    i turned it about 4 clicks CCW (i believe CCW is lean)... but i'm wondering if the US and Canadian RX-7/VAF might be tuned different from the factory... cuz lex said he put his in without even tuning it and it ran good

    these are NGK... heat range 6

        Ryan, is the 88 323 the same body as the 90?

        and what about engines Bps, ect.

              To make it more rich you turn de bypass nut clock wise. This is reducing the air entering in the bypass, less air...mixture more rich.

                no, thats a BF chassis, from 85-89. the body and engine are completely different. that one looks very nice for its age, but still not as nice as ryan's.

                check the inside along the very bottom of the door. i grew up with an 87 BF, and we were taking the doors off to sand and paint a few times that i can remember.

                  It is real clean, and I'm sure easy on fuel.
                  I still can't get over the Indy Trooper citing me for 88, I had my cruise on 71.
                  The badge is supposed to be the good Guys, right?
                  Something is lying.

                  A Peace Officer can never be too Professional, as a good defence attorney can sway the court the the plain facts on a different angle.

                  1. Was the Officer a radar certified operator for the radar in use at the time, and in possession of his permit on the date and for the alleged violation

                  2. The Officer should always stay with the facts

                  3. Was the Radar sent to be recalibrated as required as regular maintence

                  4. The Officer should not refer to himself upon the explanation of the subject's speed in violation, IE, 'I clocked you @ 88 mph, and it took me 5 miles to reach you, at speeds of exceeding 110 mph.' (Who is the Dangerous driver now?)
                  Proper terms: IE, 'Your speed was checked at 88 and the limit is 70. I need your OL and Registration,.... I'll be back in a moment. That's all that the Officer needs to say for a simple speed regulation stop'.

                  We live in America the land to freely question everything, tactfully, and we must be in the right to win.

                  When your right Be cool, calculating and relentless to see justice is served.

                  I'm begining to hate.. the Red paint! Chris' flat stealth black is looking good!

                  The car had'nt been out of the shop 12 hrs. Same car 190k miles, new Red paint. Go figure.!

                  The Deputy Clerk of Jackson County, IN. says, "when traveling Indiana, don't take the Interstate roads." Deputy's name I have with held, due to content.

                  I thought Redneck cops were confined to Kentucky and Tennessee! Wrong!

                  Just for fun I once checked the speed of a Fixed object, a rural mail box, the speed was clocked at 41 mph.

                  An officer should know the difference of moving objects and 2 objects side by side at different speeds. The larger vehicle's speed is the prominent clocked speed! It's the the Officer's call which to stop.

                  Scary, you bet!

                  Drivers beware!

                          I'm raising the bs flag till I see pics. If you show pics I will appoligize but its hard to believe someone flips a car 2x doing 70 and the car is still driveable.
