let the car cool down for a minute or 2 before you turn it off. I take it when you say 'race' on a daily basis you mean daily driving plus fun street racing when you can.

Isn't there a maintenance section on this board somewhere? I thought I clicked the "Street Racing" link.

Well thats what they say but in the real world you want to replace that turbo every 3k miles right when you change your oil with full synthetic, if your lucky you can use the same turbo for 6k miles, jiffy lube should include the turbo change whenever you switch them, also turbo cars need to be left running for one hour at idle if it hasn't been used for at least 8 hours, if you don't do this it might go pop, you also have to buy race fuel (106 octane or higher), if there isn't any available you have to pick up a few things of octane boost to fill up your tank...

:smokin:
also!
Maybe the Rx-7 ran out of turbo?

Gotta fill them up everyonce in a while, just like washer fluid.

This has been a quick tip from RedNeck383:thumbsup:
