that is all.

 

good lord............we lost another one.....

 

........ FAIL!

 

i like it

 

OMG that poor SA, did yall hear that? The rotory gods are crying. Kinda looks like he just threw a rx7 body on an old gasser.

 

Hey I worked hard on that car, I wanted the look of a sports car with enough Get the hell out of my way for all the slow drivers.

 

And a center of gravity higher than the roofline of the car in stock form. The V8 I can handle. The slicks make sense. The stupid ride height is just senseless. Even rally first gens didn't sit that high, and they needed the ground clearance.

 

AMERICA!






fail.

 

Haha I am going to go test drive! Take it off a few jumps.




All I can think of is: Hold my Beer!

 

Man. I think the value of mine just went up again

 

Weren't you "real close" to swapping a V8 in yours?
(I know - it's more about price and parts availability of good 12A parts)

 

Just my $.02 here, but if he saved it from being scrapped, I call that a win. But, if he ruined a good car, then he ruined a good car.

As far as the ride height is concerned, it's a little drag racer trick from the 50s(?). Basically the more weight you have on tires the more grip they make (less efficiently, but that's another story), and because it's a 2 wheel drive car, you want as much weight on the rear wheels. Now, longitudinal weight transfer is a function of CG height, wheelbase, and acceleration (in 'g's). Making the CG higher increases rearward weight transfer, effectively putting more weight on the rear wheels. Hence gassers being jacked up. Now this guy probably just did it because he thinks it looks cool, but there is a method to the madness.

 

^---- Functional or not - still looks gay as hell.

Car ruined - and many good SA owners in need of parts. Our loss. Hopefully it doesn't sell and he does part it out.

And theres a big difference between a V8 swap and that mess of a car. If he kept it streetable I might chalk it up to taste, but that, my friend, is just a hack job.

 

will make a good grass cutter, esp. with that height

 

And the ****** got's it starting at 8,000 i bet the owner is just as ugly..

 

Holy CRAP!

 

"Illiterate" is the kindest thing I can say about the owner.
"solled lifter cam"
"turbo 400 trance"
"moser axels"

Built on an Astrovan chassis...

Ended without a single bid. There is some justice in the world.

 

ugh that made me sick, poor SA.

 

guys, why you hatin'? i was tired of the rotary and good handling. it's played out. i just wanted to do something different - make my **** unique.

 

Lol @ the stock wheel. I'd roll it.

 

What you tryin to say about rednecks!!!! Ive been called redneck plenty of times and ive got two SA's that i wouldnt dare do that to!

 

zero bids. what a shock.

The only RX-7 thing about it is the body. Could have been a Vega or a Escort body just as easy. Drag car.
