Bikedads Constant Rebuild

[FC3S Murray]

Nice to see you are still playing with the FC Don. Car sounds snappy and quick to rev 
 
Get some power runs for us!

[frijolee]

Looks good Don...  Are we going to play the dyno guessing game soon?

Soon. I want to get the break in oil changed first before I take it to the dyno.

if Tracy's operating the dyno, I'll  go with Tree Fiddy! Or a loop...

Finally installed the lip/chin spoiler I bought over 3 years ago.
I purchased it from a member on RX7Club who was making them. (Rob xx 7)
I think he offered them here but I can't remember.
I bought it unfinished/unpainted. I wanted to match the rest of the molding on the car. Just applied a little Armor All and done.

Looks good! Need a profile shot of the car now.

[FC3S Murray]

Yeah I like how it ties in nice with your hood scoop too! Profile shot for sure Don! . You ever go dyno?

[bikedad]

I still haven't had it to the dyno yet.
I've put 2500 miles on it and had it to the track once.

12.1 @ 118 with a 2.01 60ft on street tires

I feathered the clutch in first so as not to spin the tires but it blows them off in 2nd and 3rd.
I'm trapping at 6400 rpm in 4th so I know there's a lot more there but I just have to learn to drive it better.

I'll take a profile shot after I reinstall the spoiler.  It appears that the clips I used didn't hold and it started to drop in the center. I ordered some better ones and should be here today or tomorrow.

One thing I noticed right away is my engine temp dropped 10 degrees while driving. It seems to really direct air flow right into the radiator. That's a good thing for when I get out to Road America.

Yeah, they make a huge difference.  I put a front air dam, ducting and a splitter on my car.   ~30* drop in water temp.   Took me from just staying at 200* to barely hitting 175* in the same circumstances.

Hey Don,

I have the same spoiler. I think it looks good on the S4 even though it is shaped for the S5.

That's kind of what I discovered. I normally run about 175° F to 180° F in the evening on a nice drive. My low speed fan just kicks on. Last night it wouldn't budge past 160° F.
I had to pull over and set the choke plate to full open on the carb because it was running rich.

I had to do some cutting and adjusting. That's pretty much why I took so long to install it. Priorities
