Hey MJ. I like the Nikki's, firstly because I own them and secondly because they work great. A rebuild kit for the one you have in the pics is $27 at autozone, usually in stock.
If you want mo' powa', go with the Sterling, as noted above.
hey Ken loved the vid from North Carolina, i actually went to school up there and love the countryside. Where exactly was that? I could swear i recognized that road, i will try and see if I can get the Sterling, it sounds exactly like what i am looking for
That was the Tail of the Dragon. I was there last spring for the Deals Gap Rotary Rally, which I highly recommend you attend if you ever get the chance.
A big progressive two barrel is always a good choice whether its Weber, Mikuni or my fav Dellorto. Side drafts with a wrap around manifold for drivability or a down draft for all out performance.
Not knocking the Nikki or Sterling but theres other choices.
Sterling, you're as bad as my wife! I tell her about something and she doesn't believe me, not until she reads it on the damn internet somewhere. And then she thinks its her own damn idea in the first place. Anyway, yeah. Welcome to the dark and gloomy website. All suicides are welcome. But hey, we can't all be happy, right?
thanks guys, i have done some research on the carbs posted above and I feel for me with the car I have the Sterling would be my best bet thanks to all who posted mj
maybe it's the txt color used against the black background that's the problem? This ad is not displayed to registered or logged-in members. Register your free account today and become a member on RX7Club.com!

I had issues with CB Performance not shipping, so can't recommend them in the states. what he said. It's a pain in the but though...

But yea overall I LOVE my dellorto...great great carb. Best place to go is oversees to...
The right idle jets make all the difference for cold starts. My 45 DCOE starts right up in the morning and will idle within a few seconds. No choke, just a couple pumps of the pedal is all it takes.
