ByStickel Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'm old and I love carbs, but what's the appeal of old carbs -vs- new fuel injection? Quote Link to comment
thumpgun Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm old and love carbs as well. All of my cars are carbed except my TII RX-7. I'm not very good at tuning them. I still need some help with that. I don't know really. I figured most people liked fuel injection better. Almost finished. Have to shorten accelerator torsion arm to fit the linkage. Then a buddy of mine that is going to get them tuned sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment
thumpgun Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I got a repop competition steering wheel and Japanese style hood emblem. I also ordered my T3 coilovers, Fujitsubo exhaust, strut tower braces and Watanabe R's. I'll post some pics of the stuff when it gets here and gets installed. The wheels take 4 months to arrive. 2 Quote Link to comment
thumpgun Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Got a few more of my parts in. The Cusco strut tower braces and the Fujitsubo stainless exhaust. I've got a few more things ordered that will be here eventually. Then I can finally get started with the installation process. I'll post some more when the other parts get here. 3 Quote Link to comment

thumpgun Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 My T3 coil overs arrived today. I got the MSA sway bar kit a few weeks ago. We're going to start the installation when the heat and humidity ease off a bit. A lot of work to do in the coming weeks. Once the wheels arrive I'll order some tires. 3 Quote Link to comment
thumpgun Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I finally was able to get a Japanese L6 cover. I'm stoked and I really like these. It's going to get painted but I wanted to go ahead and add it to the thread. I'll still take another one if reasonably priced or I have parts to trade. Quote Link to comment
thumpgun Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Got the cover finished and ready to go on the car. It looks good and has some character I couldn't sand off of it. I'd like to have another one. 3 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Looks fantastic. I love the wrinkle black and brushed metal look. Hard to beat for original appearance plus a touch of fancy. 1 Quote Link to comment
thumpgun Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks for the likes and comments! Much appreciated. I got my Watanabe R's, lug nuts and valve stems. I haven't gotten tires yet and I'm going to wait until I'm ready to install the wheels before buying them. I also installed a new fuel pump. The previous new one didn't work. 1 Quote Link to comment
