Thumbs up Black RX7.COM car...

Hey everyone, it's been forever since I've been on the forum. I just happened to run across some threads today, with people wondering where I've been. I'm still around and temporarily outside of Charlotte, NC. If you get a chance, check out the new website for the car, Jigsawrx7.com, shoot me an email and let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you.

P.S.- I will probably be moving back to Dallas area or possibly Florida in January.

Yeah, graduated, and now I'm at NASCAR Technical Institute. I took the NASCAR courses for a more broad view on racing (definitely worth the experience), and I am now taking FORD Accelerated Credentials Training (FACT) because they say it is an excellent electronics diagnosics program.

93FD,

Jegs is the cheapest way to get them that I know of (even cheaper than weld racing themseves). $150 for each rear wheel, $130 each for front wheels, $136 each fro BFG Drag radials rear, $100 each Moroso DS-2 front runners. Total... about $1000, BUT, a pain in the $&%! to make fit. I don't reccomend them for the street (except for th BFG drag radials). If youre more interested, let me know and I'll tell you all the troubles involved with installing.

Dan

PS - website fixed. Thanx again.

I don't see why you had problems with your Weld fitting up. My Weld Magnums fit perfectly with no clearance issues.
