Must Be Art Weblog

f/8 and be there.

Had fun last night building illustrations for the home page. Three of the images were new for the purpose. The Palomar and vehicles images were recycled.

I had to call the shop myself to find out what’s up with the RX-7. The good news is they were able to isolate the problem to one or both of two units, the pulsation dampener and the fuel pressure regulator. The bad news is that these two parts are well hidden deep in the inaccessible bowels of the engine. It’s a 10-standard-hour job to get in there and do anything. That’s $1070. And the really bad news is that the fuel injectors might also be involved, and that’s another $600 if they need to be replaced. They said it might be done by the end of tomorrow, which would be three full days in the shop.
