Just bought a Mazdaspeed front cover gasket to fix my leak, custom Fluidyne radiator so the car won't over heat anymore, Greddy auto-timer, and Pettit intakes. They'll all be installed by Tuesday.



Woot!

 

i agree money well spent! what fans are you running?

 

Installed by? DMS? or Pettit?

 

DMS. They give me a deal on prices.

 

whatever happened to the satisfaction of doing work youself. Atleast then you know 100% just it is done right and it was made/fixed with the best possible material/part/system possible

 

I can tear apart a piston motor blind folded...



But I don't know rotaries well enough to do it myself. I'd rather have someone who was on team RX7 do it for me.

 

HA! that's a very good point. but you have to realize.... we are dealing with rich fd guys...

 

Unfortunatly for me I do not have the time to do all I want to do. Benefit of having a place like Pettit do it? He will look over your car and fix all kinds of things he sees as potential problems mostly for free. Things you and I would overlook but he has seen time and again go bad.



My mechanic? Road racer,.... I have learned so much from him its not funny. If I was doing it all myself I would not learn nearly as much.



Plus, this might be hard for you to understand, I consider myself more of a driver than a mechanic. I know all the workings of my car I can also roll up my sleeves and do it myself. I am invaluble to my mechanic becasue I can give him input as to exactly what I want my car to do and how I think I can get it to do that.



I prefer to drive it and break it. Not fix it all the time.



Now my new hood is here and my bumper will be here tomarrow. According to you guys I should paint it myself. Nah, I'll have a pro do it.

 

yeah i'm a driver too..... !

 

I save up for years to find a good deal and buy an FD, so that apparently means I'm rich... Thanks, I appreciate you placing me in the "rich guy who doesn't know anything about cars" category. Just because I'd MUCH rather keep my car running then try to take it apart myself with the limited knowledge I have, and potentially break it, doesn't mean I'm an idiot. I just got stereotyped by a moderator because I drive an FD. I guess I should get used to it... But when I get it from a fellow rotary driver... Something's not quite right.
