this is why rednecks and rx-7's dont go

 

Says the car is in canada, arent rednecks from down south ?

 

Canada has its share of rednecks - we keep them in Alberta

As to the car, this was posted in the lounge. Like I said there it's a clean install (though the hood is butt ugly). The catch is the guy spent $40,000 on it and wants at least $25,000.

That's probably why he spells cowl 'kowel' and the hood bulge, open to the rear, an 'induction scoop'

 

Damn! That 83 is sweeeeet!

 

Yeah im undecided on the hood, a little too camaroish, to me camaros are in the definition of trailer trash.

anyway its the first i have seen with fuel injection and not a carb, I would be very proud if I did the work, looks great IMO.

Im sure most people here would whine not cause it has a different motor but because it would rock the doors of their rx7 without even breaking a sweat.

Not trying to start a flame war but I could give to ***** less about what engine they put in what car, if its fast and looks good then its fast and looks good.

And I myself (although I have only owned a couple handfuls of rx7's and 2 ford rangers with a 4.0 and 3.0 in my name) love the sound of a tunned V8 as much as a tunned rotary.

A 440 with a sixpack is a beautiful thing, no matter what its in.

For example If someone ever offered me an AMC AMX for any or all of my rx7's I would run to grab the titles. NOt that I dont like rx7's, Ive owned more then I can count on all my fingers and toes and Im only 24,but I've never owned an AMX or any classic muscle car and probably never will even drive one *sigh*


What do you guys think the people on other forums think about us putting rotary's in other cars

 

It's ok, engine looks neat in there, but the skyjacker suspension looks really funny, I mean the thing looks like a lifted 4x4.

 

It does have Jeep springs in front! What does he mean by 'non-cooling system'?

 

that has to be the a #1 in my most ugly cars I've seen....well the new mustang is number 2 now, but have yall seen that thing dirt ugly.

 

i hate those little 5.0 litres that run around town....

 

Yeah the hood is fugly.

But that '83 is beautiful :-D

 

The auction for the '83 says automatic when it's clearly a 5-speed. That is a sweet car. The seats match the ones in later '84-'85 cars, but tan wasn't available in an SE like mine

Hmmmm....

 

I can only imagine how fast the V8 RX-7 is...

The 1983 has a couple of things that make me uncomfortable.

1 Says it needs TLC and $1k of work.
2 States the engine does run but almost sounds like a problem within the engine (the way it is stated).

I'm going to call that number and talk to them. Springfield is close enough for me to actually bid on this.

 

As of 05/15 @ 0730 hrs CST, the bid is at $3800...lol...I'm trying to figure out how he can claim a 2200 lb weight of the car with engine and still have the Ford 5 speed (heavy) and a Ford 9-inch rear (gawdawful heavy...ever try to lift one of those things when you're scrounging the boneyard??), is it a race car or a street car?...and then there's the damn skinny tires sticking out of the fender wells....a potential fine handling machine has been reduced to being good for nothing more than a potential "smokey burn-out" contest winner at the next Car Craft Street Nats...it needs to be burned to the ground, it has be dishonored and has no purpose on this mortal plane anymore...

 

heh, I wish my 7 looked like that 83. That thing is niiiiiiiice

 

Say what you want, but clearly it appears to be
a very clean install.






I would love a ride, just to compare it to mine.

 

Rear-opening scoops work well. "Cowl Induction". There is a rather significant high-pressure area at the cowl area from the air stacking up in the cowl area. Ever notice that when you're on the highway, you get as much airflow through the vents as you would with thr fan on 2 or 3? That air is coming from the HVAC system's air inlet, which is at (drumroll) the cowl area. Now imagine that air pressure shoving cold air into the engine.

 

cowl induction is one thing - 'induction scoop' - what the seller refers to it as - is another Scoops normally work not by negative pressure drawing air in but by positive pressure ramming it in, 'scooping' up air in its path as the car travels down the road.

And yeah, it's a clean install - just not $25,000 and up clean, IMHO.

 

And there is positive pressure at the cowl. There will be much ramming.

 

that just struck me as funny

 

IMO putting a piston into a rotary kills the spirit of the car and it's just wrong

i don't care if it'll make it a 9 second beast

 

It's not even going to make it into the 13s on those tires...what a waste of money...

 

It's absolutely hideous.

 

thats a beautiful discount auto perma cool fan on that thing lol.
