team build 7's on ebay

Canadian TV show, War Of The Wheels, bilt a pair of 1st gens. Now they're on ebay. Searching "WOTW" will yield several cars these teams have built. Sure hope this isn't a repost. I'm curious as to which one was faster. Rebuilt and ported SE engine with added turbo, or turbo 2 engine with modded ecu? I'd say the built SE engine.

For $500! What a deal, I wish I could pick up one of those. The only minus I can think of is that their break in miles where being raced around a track, and that it was probably by some ham fisted guy they had for the episode.

I did the wiring in the yellow one. If anyone buys it and wants to drive it on the street, PM me and I'll let you know what to change (a few corners were cut due to deadlines which would be fine on the track but annoying on the street).

Yea, Aaron, do you think you would be able to get ahold of the videos, since you were part of the build?

that yellow one seems pretty rotted out on the bottom, but nevertheless you could always find a good chassis and do a swap into.

Those are two bad *** cars. I think if I owned either one of them I'd have to do a solid color rather than flashy stuff like they did, but I would definitely own one.

No time at all on the yellow car. If you look at the description.....

'This one was built by four great mechanics headed up by Chris of CP Racing in Toronto - a top-notch RX7 specialist.'

He just used customer parts, and told them they got lost in shipping, hehe

Probably not. Hell, I couldn't even find the damn show when it was supposed to air! My work was behind the scenes anyway.
