Brought home another stray!

Well I just came home with another first gen to add to the collection. That brings the count back up to four again. This one is a golden brownish 80 model with a sunroof and the moniker MOJO Brown .

So for all the people who dont care or haven't been paying attention, lets recap:

80 "MOJO Brown" newest edition, electronic dizzy, rebuilt (& badly tuned by RP ) carb, everything else iffy/cracked/noisy.

83 "YaYa" love of my life, second motor this year, zero compression on rear rotor

84 "GTA" $250 dollar parts car....but then it ran!, 50psi on rear rotor

83 "Silver Bullet" Old daily driver, 2nd 1st gen, Very disasembled, Motor with bad o-ring leak sitting beside it.

So I got 4 cars, 1 good motor, and 4 bad motors. I think I need to learn how to rebuild a rotary.

I will go to Autozone tomorrow and order the fel-pro kit.

Wish me luck.

You know, there are Fiat guys out there who do the same exact thing.
Its got to be something about the age and type of car.

Dang that a hella lotta 7's in the yard!

Question: If you have that many Rx-7's then why does your avatar has the 2 and 1 in the sign.... You should put a 7 in the dice. Either that or add 2and2 to make it your Rx-7 count

My friend just quit managing for Pizza ****... I used to go by almost every day, help close the store, and make myslef a custom pizza... Good thing to do is run chicken wings throuhg the oven half way to thaw em, then cut em up and put em on the pizza. Add green peppers and onions. Cover in multicheese blend.

Too bad he started managing for another food chain. More money in it for him though.

Wish I knew someone who worked at a car plant... Wish cars were as easy to customize as Pizzas.
