I got another lowering kit if you're interested. If so, for $50, I'll give you special Lowering Cinder Blocks. Stack them properly in the hatch and front seats.

I also have special Intake Porting Sand to run through your intake. Why bother having a machine shop port your housings when you can have the intake suck that sand through it? Easier and cheaper. Someone should've thought of this sooner.

Actually, my engine ran out of oil. Can I put fudge in it instead? It looks the same.

Gooey kind. Nothing but the best for my motor. Sometimes I throw in some white icing to help trace for any oil leaks.

And, gaskets? Pffft, who needs those? I use hot glue!





And, redbstd, you really should learn how to use that EDIT button so that you don't have double posts so close to each other.

Kinda the same as asking for a radiator for a '68 Bug.

And, Percent, meant to tell you, your sig line should read "7 owns you!" for a proper Yakov Smirnov joke.

I love it when the idiots at Pep Boys don't know how to read the engine listings on their computer. It hasn't changed since I left there. For the engines it lists:
2 RTR 1198
2 RTR 1308

or numbers along those lines, but in that setup. I tell the guy I have a 1.3l, 13B. Dumb idiot says "I don't have that listing." Then I sigh, roll my eyes, get annoyed and say "It's the bottom listing". Honestly, if you knew what you were doing, you'd recognize how the cc's translate to the liter numbers. 1308 = 1.3 = 13B.

After all these years, their IBM layout still hasn't changed.

There's a place called Olympus that deals only in imported parts. I go there when I want to make sure I have quality parts. And, there's a guy who works there that I used to work with at Pep Boys, so sometimes he gives me a the hookup. Plus, I always buy from him because they work off of commission.

No, no it shouldn't. The RX-7 owns you everywhere except in Soviet Russia.

Originally from the USSR, I beg to differ, especially if you saw how slippery those roads are during the winter. You get OWNED by the 7. Plus, it blends in quite well with the rest of the tiny cars that littered the road.

A vid of ice roads vs cars. In my home town, no less!

Jeezuz, what you need to do is weld the fins on in the opposite direction to reduce lag. And, I wanted my car to be the lowest on the block so I took out my shocks, struts, and springs.

I heard welding them on the poopsite direction gives me turbo in reverse as well!
