I think you guys treat manntis like some sort of god, its kinda digusting. Dont get me wrong, im sure hes a great guy and such, hes been nothing but helpful to me, but I mean jesus christ he found his last car without you guys helping, id assume, so let him sort his **** out. It seems every other day theres another "Hey mantis, i found one for ya!!" or "car for mantis" Im sure if its on ebay, or even a seachable website of any kind, he'll find it. If hes really looking. If u really feel the need to show a car to him theres always PM, or if youre close to him an email or phone call. But some of you should really give it a rest.

It's like someone slapping a "V-Tec" logo on the side of their Rx7... Some people these days!

But I kinda have to agree with wagondriver69 about one thing. I know if I lost my car, I wouldn't *exactly* wanna have people posting replacements all the time for me. I know you guys are trying to be thoughtful, but let Manntis figure stuff out on his own. We *know* he'll come back to a rotary powered vehicle, he's still on the forum and runs www.rotorhead.ca! So let's just say "g'bye pam" and continue on with our day-to-day forum lives.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, Manntis or wagondriver69.

And as I said in a post before where manntis inquired into one of the STUPID e-bay posts long ago
"guru? Nah, more like a demi-god!"
So yeah, we do tease him about being an almighty But he's just one of the gang. A good one of the gang!

Jon

"drive train engine 1988 turbo II non turbo, street port and polished, holly 600, jaytech inteck, with a plenum, headers racing B, bronce clutch, 91 hihg compresion rotors and balance, Atking appex seals"

Okay - there are so many things wrong with those descriptions, I don't know where to begin!

Turbo II non turbo??? Um okay...

what's a "holly" 600? racing B? atking appex? WTF is an appex?

and like everyone else - why dear God, why would he put Mazda R on the back?

R is for real cool, or for Rx7... maybe the R helps him identify his car from all the other RX-7s in the parking lot. All in all, pretty weak, eh?

if it was a TII engine without the turbo, wouldn't the low-compression rotors kill power?

Yea, but the loss is minimal, 5-7Hp. This person's engine though has the high compression S5 NA rotors in the TII engine.

Not an SE, and too many mods. I believe Manntis is looking for a Black SE in pristine, bone stock condition.

There was a dandy black SE for sale in Chicago last summer. About 55,000 miles, went for about $5500. It was pristine. I should have bought it, but I didn't want a black car.
