FB weights

Whats the lightest you can have seen a FB or SA gutted for race,I want to keep a first gen drag car,BUT I got friends pushing me towards a Toyota shell,

It would be easy for me to just drop a drive train in a 7 instead of a Toyota shell cause I would have to make some mounts and weld the front cross memeber etc..

Sounds like you want to replace the rotary with a pissy-ton. Use the Toyota!

You are correct! I read it wrong and then I saw the """I would have to make some mounts and weld the front cross memeber etc..""" and made an assumption. Hope I'm wrong If so, perhaps he will be running an "automatic rotary", and give ME some info!

Hey man, there's nothing wrong with Canada's chicks, just because most of the time they're wearing winter parkas doesn't mean anything

Nah, here, in the interior, it's really dry, and warm, so there's lots of chicks wearing bikinis all the time Well, maybe not in the winter... but in the summer, yes. Haha... that's when the 7 is a good ride.... chicks love it

Nah, you're right, my car's pretty quiet.... but I kinda like it that way.... more of a sleeper type thing... except, I don't think it's a sleeper right now.... I gotta get a new engine for it.. mine's blowing smoke like you wouldn't beleive

God you guys jacked my thread and talked abotu chicks but no nude pics..wtf..

Yeah im talking about droping a rotary in a Toyota or a old Datsun,My friends are tring to push me that way saying the 7 is to heavy,I wanted some AutoX guys,or a caged out drag specs to be posted.

This is sad to say,I was going to build a drag car with half ownership of this other guy,So I dont get screwed Im thinking of just using my FB,im about 95% there,

I just need to gut it out,Throw my SE front suspension on,Run my FC spare/Enkies as front runners,Use my GS/drum set up with welded spider gears untill I brake it.

It will be ghetto,I want to use what I have,BUT non of this is forsure untill I bring this dam 10 AE home!
Its been over a month and its pissing me off,Ths is the worse time of the year to buy a ****** car,I got hit wit 8 peoples Christmas gifts,my younger bys B day is Tuesday he will be 1,My dads was Dec 27,My other boys is Jan 20.

This sounds poor but,layaway worked this year..andI would use it again.Tring to buy **** at the last minute is a bitch,I spent over $500. for my kids on Christmas,This sucks ***.

Next year im going to be a Johovas witness,they dont celebrate ****,sono lost of money..lol

Before I own or drive a auto/rotary I would have to loose one of my arms or legs.IMO thats the worse thing they did for the first gens.

Sorry, I missed seeing WHAT the tranny was. I thought since you were doing "drag", you might go with an automatic. Most drag racers around here have autos.
