Newb here

Post by dees75z »

Hello, newb to this site. Ive been playing with dsm's for quite some time now. Had a 7bolt swap in a 92' colt few years back and have had a handful of awd's over the years. I have always wanted to do a rwd setup but could never decide on a decent chassis. I talk to coltboostin about purchasing his fc and I just couldnt manage to sale my project at the time in order to buy it. Long story short, ive got a 91' rx7 shell now and am going to start on it very soon.

Parts to date:
91' shell
built th400 w/tci rev manual valve body
PPC 3500 stall converter
3 spare 6bolt long blocks
haltech sport 1000
PT6765RH
aeromotive A1000 pump
aeromotive regulator
8 gallon fuel cell
91' engine harness

thats all so far. I think I am going to enjoy this site :)

I guess I will have to post up picks for you guys to believe me. Working on finishing up a 90' awd right now, so I will post up early stages of the build. Going to order the gm adapter from bills auto fab this week so I can get started.

Hopefully I can get some people to put some info up on what are the "have to's" to get everything working in the car. I need maybe a checklist of some sorts to go by. If someone could help that would greatly be appreciated.

you want to try RWD, go Pickup Truck.

trade the Haltech for a AEM.

Well, the FC is a extremely good chassis for my plans.
What is wrong with Haltech??

Tuned a couple cars with AEM and it is good but there is no way that I could purchase it for what I got the Haltech for. I will try and post up some pics once I get the adapter kit from bill.

BTW, very nice looking setup on that truck :D

There is nothing "wrong" with the haltech, just more people have "experience to draw on" than I've seen with haltech. If you're good with it, then carry on.

Just poking fun at ya on the chassis, the Truck is a natural RWD of course, no conversion necessary. just fabrication of every performance part, or cross referencing to another mitsu line. and thanks, put a lot of effort into the knucklebuster.

You do realize an Rx7 is "Naturally Rwd" as well right??? lol
