Ohhhhh yeeah/. Nothing like towing an FC 750 miles all at once... and yes, the driveshaf remained connected. Now all I wait for is the key and title... yeah yeah, i don't need to hear it, so save yourself the troubl and shut yer yap ahead of time.

So anyway. Couple problems that i require some assistance on. After my buddy and I fixed the AFM, we hotwired the car to get it started. Lo and behold she fired right up in the first try after stting for over a year! Put out some nice stinky rotary smoke as i danced around in retarded glee. Now. I dont know if its the gauge or what, but when the car is idling all the way up to 4k RPM, the boost gauge sits at full vac, and then after 4k, she 'boosts' to 0. Anyone know what this could be? I'm thinking a gauge or vac line problem, but maybe one of you out there more edumacated in turbomathingies would know better.

Next: the windshield wipers dont work. At first i suspected the switch, but after taking it out and testing it with my ohmmeter it seemed to be ok. I then tried testing the motor itself by unclipping the connector, grounding the (i assumed) black ground wire, and tried giving her full battery voltage. Nothing except some sparks at one of the terminals. Is this indicative of a dead motor?

Other than that, the interior needs a littlebit of attention, and the exterior needs a lottabit of attention. I'll have pix up ASAP.

Come on Steel, I'd think you'd know you can't boost in neutral! Nice battery ;)

PS
Lucky sob...
Way back in the day I looked at a TII, but sadly the guy was asking too much...

Yeah yeah... i'll be the first to admit that turbos are a new beast to me. I know rotaries inside and out, but when it comes to snails, i am but a n00b. I'm larning though... she DOES boost when i drive her, and boy does she boost, hehe.

Yes of course i talk to her.
3 whole hours.
my girlfriend doesn't like the car because the car is taking time away from her, hehe.

You have been jinxed!!!! You should know better than to say "running" and "RX-7" in the same sentence. May the rotor gods have pity on your soul. :disappoin
