The car is driveable, but not for long distance. The Haltech ECU hasnt been professionally tuned. The car needs to be professionally tuned. The feed for the turbo and the drain for the turbo need to be redone. It smokes a little after running a few minutes, I think its getting too much oil pressure. But there again I dont know for sure, havent had time to mess with it. The rear Mariah Mode 1 quarters need to be molded into the body. It also needs bigger wheels and tires. I also recommend a brake upgrade. Needs to be painted. Interior work needs to be cleaned up. The car has been sitting quite a while, and the brake rotors have rust on them pretty bad. There would need to be some attention there. This car starts and runs now, it will rip your head off. Its very fast as it is, Id hate to see its capabilities. It actually scares the **** out of me now.
I have recently moved to Indiana. Im waiting on the Indiana title, I still have the Kentucky title. The car will have to be transfered to your name before it leaves my possession. Uhaul rents car trailers for like $50 or so a day. Thats the way Id recommend getting it home.

Man this sucks every time I see a crazy good deal on an rx7 I have no money.
The good part about that is once all these deals run out I will start having money again figures.

I was kinda hoping he would keep it and finish it, been down that road so I know how it is.

Max7 seven ol buddy.... we just finished our t2 car.... if you haven't driven a t2FB get ready to be blown away, not to mention the car you bought has way more power than ours....
It is INSANE... That thing is a 11-12 second car with traction? I drove ours last night, and let me tell you... me and you had the same mods on our gsl-se's, they are nothing compared to what you just bought. You'll never want to drive your old car again!
Seriously, my blue 7 seems like a econobox compared to the t2FB. Yours is a cosmo w/big turbo for god sakes!!!

Yea its just not going to be the same, no longer having to down shift
It's going to be a long winter waiting to take it for a spin, lots of polishing, powder coating, and misc stuff. But I think it will be quite nice come spring when I can take it out for a gentle spin around the block..........

Damn mike, you don't post in forever, then three months ago you want to sell your car for much cheaper than last year, and I miss the post. If for some reason the deal is a wash, give me a call. I'll pm you my number, I'll have about a million questions for you. But if nothing else I think I have a coupon code around here somewhere to list your car on eBay for $50, and if it doesn't sell they refund the money - I hope I didn't throw it away.

Im often asked why I want to sell it. #1 I dont have an ounce of time anymore. #2 I dont really have the extra 2 or 3k that I need to finish it, #3 I dont have a garage anymore, #4 I dont have the passion for working on cars anymore, #5 most importantly THE CAR SCARES THE LIVING **** OUT OF ME, you guys have NO IDEA what a turbo'ed rotary will do with this kinda setup and its NOT EVEN TUNED! Shift hard into 2nd at 60 or so and it will get freaking sideways im not kidding. Right after I first finished it, I drove the car to work at Toyota. Its about a 60 mile drive one way, a friend from work was screwing with me in his Mustang Cobra on I-164. Im doing like 70, I downshift to 4th and punch it. I then shift to 5th, before I have a clue what im doing the freaking speedo is pegged (remember 85 has 140 speedo) . Im doing way over 140 (Id estimate close to 150 or so) and the SOB is pulling like 15 lbs of boost. It is still speeding up. I got out of it and the last time I ever ran it like that. The car in stock suspension form is NOT setup to run that fast. It starts floating pretty bad. Next day at work he goes on to tell me how crazy I am, and how he got wasted. Said he could take me on a line up and I said you got one show and thats the last show. Im not doing that anymore. Anyway, Max I talked about the smoking problem. I pulled the plugs out of it and they are nice, no oil deposits. The motor has supernice compression. I suspect its the turbo oil feeds or drain. Might even be the turbo. I had a problem before were it was blowing oil into the intake. Sent it off and it was suppose to be fixed? Also to the comment about cant wait till you drive it, you better register that car and get it out of my name first. Im funny about that.
Anyway, have fun and dont get killed.

Mike you made a good decision...I have owned some pretty decent cars and when you get scared like that in one is because you know what's next.
I just hope the new owner respects this kind of power...
