Lol just fixed it about a month ago and now it won't start . Lol good times man !!Quote:

Been thinking about that . Already invested a lot and if I try to sell it as is , I aint gonna make shit off of it . Dont really wanna part it because used parts move slow these days . So I'm kind of stuck lol .Quote:

That's what happens when you go for a really huge go big or go home build unless you have $20-30k to spend at the drop of a hat. I spent two years on jackstands doing a 3.5L 5857 build only to get sick over coolant issues at startup because a shop was incapable of replacing copper o-rings on the block surface. I don't want to relive that downtime again.
My 95 has been down for almost a year. Drove it for less than a month before I tore it apart. I bought it with the intention of it being exactly where I wanted my 3S to be... that didn't happen...
or into each other... :pQuote:

I know damn well I have over 20k invested but its nowhere near running condition and plus there is tons of other shit I want /need for it to be where want it .Quote:

Yeah friend of mine bought his vr4 like 8 years ago. Not to long after put it in a ditch. After that he ripped the motor and trans out and started collecting parts. Its been so long most of what he has is now obsolete. He traded the vr4 plud a bunch of parts like a genuine 20G tdo5 kit and ETS fmic along with other parts and bought a stealth.... that he broken within a month or so and now itd been sitting for close to a year.
Hes probably dumped over 40K now between the 2 cars
It was a beautiful day today in Baton Rouge, so I decided to spend the evening washing the whips

Oh well, RX7's are a fun car. I've owned a few but all older models. I have a old vert right now.
Its the most fun all around car I've ever driven except for the 6 figure Porsche's. If i bought a FD before a VR4, I'd never have bought a VR4. Glad thats not how it happened. But the 3rd gen is a brilliant car. Shame that like the 3/S, most of them have seen better days. So its a treat to have such a nice one.
Whenever my V-mount setup gets in, i'll have the ID2000's on the secondary rail, Denso in tank, Power FC, Peter Farrel exhaust, among other things, should make 350-375 around 14-15psi on 93 and in a mid 2700lb car, gonna be quite an exciting car, its hoot to drive now at like 230-240-ish.

ok. well i wasn't sure. i know colin bought one recently.
I saw a black FD sitting in somebody’s driveway a while back when I was looking for a different car. It sort of looked like it wasn’t being driven and I almost knocked on the door to ask about it but didn’t. I’d love to have one, I might have to drive by and see if it’s still sitting there. Never know, I might get a steal on it if it’s been sitting there broke down.Quote:

I remember when the first RX-7 came out. They didn't have alot of power but looked fast. I've seen modified FD run road course. Pretty sure they had a supercharger and put down a ton of power.
Jim, you remember when the wheel first came out. lol
