An RX-7 is like having a slut as a gf! She will love you, but she will also screw around with the guy at the parts store, most of the local cops, your insurance agent, your apex seals, your bank account and your credit card!!!

Custom heat shield i made to hopefuly keep intake temps down. too poor to afford a header right now so stock manifold for now. dropping the engine in tomorrow and hopefully getting it running soon after!

made myself a custom weighted shift knob out of 1 1/4" stainless steel rod, came out pretty nice IMO. still chipping away at finishing the engine install, a lot of small time consuming stuff to get done, ughhhh....

Mazda's brand name rotary cleaner. Zoom zoom or whatever is like exactly the same formula as sea foam. The deal is mazda turns the oil pump wide open when doing this to make sure the sea foam doesn't dry out the motor. When you do it manually you need to add 2 stroke or idemitsu lube to it. You can google and find the procedure. Oh hell here it is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Done it and seen it done a few times. I've had good results.

Don't do anything, seriously.  Seafoam is bad for rotaries.  I ran it in mine and my car ran like shit for a good month. If you want to do anything to remove carbon just rev the bag out of the engine once a week.

i would if i had an engine out of a car to fit it to. it was a pain in the arse to fit it properly (a lot of take on and off to trim t to clear the intake) and the engine must be out of the car to install as well.
