Congrats DR! Great looking car.

About the bumper gap, don't sweat it.
It's not bad alignment: it's just an extra cooling fin for your engine...

hey good thinking! It's just a front-end vent!

Now I need to get the RX7 turn signals that fit the bumper. Mazda speed mx3 had the bumper molded to fit RX7 turn signals (I think 3rd Generation RX7), and I want to get those so everything is done.

Look like I'll be making a j/y run tomorrow.

I need to check tomorrow, though, for a vac. leak. Car is fine when driving, but on idle, or immediately after reverse, it starts idling rough, and a few times I've sputtered for a sec when driving out of idle/starting to drive after putting in reverse.

I hope it's nothing major.. I'm not sinking any money into the engine... I just need the B6 to run me while I get my work done on the BP.

Other then that, the paint is a huge turn-on

Hey DRR (Dark Rider Revolution), I haven't been around much since I've been movin and all. And man I gotta say. I flame body kits more than anyone, including mx34ever. There's something about that colour that makes the kit work. I respect your dedication to your car, and can't see any peel. That same amount of work in red deer would cost at least 7k, I know because that's what I've been quoted.

Thanks for the appreciation! I know that a lot of body kits look horrid.. but like you said.. with the color, I think it turned out amazing. And yeah, it's nice to have friends in the business. He really cut costs and not quality.

DR: did you find the coolant temperature sensor?

I thought I left you a message . Let me re-send it ><

Never mind. I saw your reply on your other thread. Thank you.

That sensor is supposed to be for the temp gauge...
Puzzling...

Yeah.. not sure.. is the thermosensor and temp gauge sensor different?

I really don't see any sensors around the ditsy though...

That's what's puzzling me. Using the same sensor for the ECU and the gauge is possible, but "dirty", from an electronics point of view.
Also, I wouldn't use a one wire sensor to feed the ECU. One wire sensors are normally a lot noisier than 2 wire sensors, and computers don't like electrical noise so much...
I don't know... Personally, if I were to get rid of one sensor, I'd leave the 2 wire unit next to the disty, and feed the gauge from the ECU, through a buffer. Using the 1 wire unit just feels...cheap...
