when i got it to my house i couldnt start it back so i pulled the seat cover off and turned the ignition the pump wasnt making any sound so i pulled it apart and cleaned the sock and it started but now whenever i shut it off it wont start back up right away and the pump is really hot. i ordered the parts today and should be here on wednesday. So technically i could have made it to the meet but just worried it wont start back up and the reason i drove it today is because i have no other car to get to work lol so im just praying it will start when i get out there lol if not i have CAA

How about a video?

Next time I'll start from the back of the group and work my way to the front so I can record all the cars. I didn't really think about it this time.

If someone can share the images with the rx7 club, that would be great!

Thank You Mike for organizing plus Scott and Doug for helping out me with the compression test. Greatly appreciated.
Looking forward for the next meet!

Wish i could have made this as well. My car was backed into by a SUV in the underground parking at work last week. Hood buckled and bumper cover trashed. Fenders need minor repair and paint. Well at least my stone chips will be gone. :/
I was provided a paladin tank (Yukon) for my rental car to spite.

Bump
Well Ladies and Gentleman ...
I wanted the bump this thread to see if any of you had gone to Mazda for a compression test.
Beouf just PM'd me about his results, I think many of you will find it interesting and to your relief.
Beouf's results:
kgf/cm2
front rotor
7.1, 7.8, 7.4
rear rotor
8.3, 8.0, 8.3
those numbers converted to psi are:
front rotor
101, 111, 105
rear rotor
118, 114, 118
the corrected numbers your tester gave were:
front rotor
96, 94, 102
rear rotor
105, 106, 102
So clearly the results from Mazda are higher.
However there does seem to be some correlation in that the TR01-v2 measured the front overall being lower than the rear, same as Mazda.
The questions for me are:
1) Does the device read low naturally or sensor damage?
2) Is the RX8 Compression Application reporting the correct normalized value?
3) Is there something wrong with my Math or did I miss/use an incorrect correction factor
4) The test method.
So in short I would say, my results are low but if you still suspect low compression and you can afford it, there is no harm in getting a compression done at Mazda.
It provides a good idea of your engine health.
And please let me know your results.
Thanks
Scott

A quick update to my comp test.
It turns out that Whitby Mazda never normalized my numbers so there is a good chance they will end up very similar to Scott's numbers.
I'm bringing the car back in on Tuesday and they are re-testing my car since they never recorded my cranking RPM's.
I'll update this thread again after those results.
