remember this car.....well here is the result of what a 230RWHP turbo rx7 with stock suspension, small tires at 10 pounds of boost at a high rate of speed......gets CUT OFF!!!! the driver of the rx7was found not at fault but still,,is out 1 cleeeean turbocharged 80 rx7....
he has already purchaced another rx7(pics to come soon)wich we will be swapping the turbo motor into......

sooo the moral of this post is when you have a vehicle with 200+ rwhp in a 1,900 pound car you need to be carfull how you drive as well as responsible with speed as well as always be aware of your surroundings when driving....

 

Damn, another 1st gen bites the dust.
What did they do? Slam the brakes and try to swerve?

 

Rust free '80..... gone.

- Pete (Oh well, it was dead the moment it had a turbo put in it)

 

Whats wrong with a turbo?

Looked like a nice car

 

Turbos are fine, but it seems like sacrilege to put one in an SA. Almost as bad as a 13B.

 

Hope the drivers ok! As for swapping motors, to each his own!

 

here are some pics of the car when the turbo swap was done...

 

Hell yeah..it was a very clean car and fast...I drove it on the freeway and enjoyed every minute of it...Then I realized that I have to bring it back to the shop.

 

I'D CRY IF THAT WERE MINE. Then again, I'd be sooooo' friggin HAPPY since I had FINALLY gotten to drive it.... Still, that SUCKS... Alota' time swappin everything out' and a ruined SA' my regrets...

 

it can be saved, i don't think it is totaled. a new quarter section and some inner sheet metal work and the car can be as good as new. i would think the work would be pricey though. it may be better to get another clean SA or FB and swap the driveline and its associated components. sad to see that pic though.

 

Awwww, what a beautiful car. Always sad to see and '80 go.

 

yah, he got an estimate of $3,600 to make the car look like new again soooo, he bought the 85 GSL instead

 

Is that the gsl from Tahoe? How does that car look, I was gonna pick it up but didn't have the time so I passed the info onto him

 

sweet jesus
that SUCKS

good thing he's getting another one!!!

 

how about parting out the car? I NEED some parts from it.

 

yes , its the GSL from tahoe....thanks for hooking him up!! its a sweet car!!

 

No problem, I was going to buy it but I had just gone to frisco to check out a car that hadn't worked out a few weeks prior. I'm glad he got a good car.

 

foiled again by the dreaded slow server double post

 

doh!

 

Anyone have a SA with a good left rear quarter panel they'd be willing to cutout for him?

 

Just needs some rubbing compound and some duct tape and she'll be good as new.

 

How in the hell did you completely damage the corner but leave the bumper and wheel undamaged?? Just get a hammer and pound it out from the inside

I remember that one. isnt it the one that got you banned?

 

i dont know how the damage happened exactly, but its strange how the suspension dosnt look too damaged.....anybody have ideas???

and yes thats the car that go me banned

 

yea and with turbo GO you should do a few other upgrades, ill be doing tokico's, springs, all urathane bushings, and im working on a t2 brake swap to help slow the roll. not to sure what size make rims yet but im thinking 17x7

 

great ideas you have there!! anyting to help stabalize the car will help, as far as braking goes, as long as you use some good pads you will be fine....
