What ever happened to the car? did it ever run? or get tunned? someone post pics of vid


RIP to a great builder and rotary guy

 

The car is being stored in a 'bat cave' of sorts. It runs like a raped ape up to 8000 rpms, which is where chris had stopped tuning when the tragedy happened.

Kinda weird, I had a dream last night about being in his old apartment in Tribeca......

 

will it be sold?

 

The car is for sale. I believe his father is looking for around $40k, but please don't quote me on it. I can tell you with absolute certainty that Chris spent in excess of $100,000 in parts and fabrication costs on the car, this doesnt include all of his labor of course. PM me if you'd like his Dad's contact info.

 

That would be a hell of a deal for someone. Maybe I should pony up the cash for it and dump mine I can confirm the amount of money Chris spent on the car. We had many phone call conversations comparing our bills and outcomes. His car is definitely done to a high quality standard.

^This is a steal at $40,000.

 

yes, i think that is more than a fair price for it and if i had that kind of money, i wouldn't think twice of paying that for what i consider to be my favorite Rx-7 at the moment.

 

I don't mean to be bringing this back from the dead, but I just wanted to send my condolences out to the famiy, friends, and community that has lost a great person. I'm not on the forums much anymore, so I'm out of the loop, but I wanted to pay my respects. RIP Chris.

Your post is timely as Gordon Monson just had the "Chris Carlisi" memorial event again this weekend. Chris' car is now in the capable hands of one Ray Crowe from Malloy Mazda who has promised to bring it back to the event each year.

RIP Chris

 

I've been thinking of bumping this thread back up and I'm glad it's still active

Ray is the perfect owner for Chris' car, and he's been in contact with G and myself about future plans for it.

While it was at IRP, i had the chance to become more familiar with Chris' build. Every time I drove it, I had thoughts of buying the car...... the drivetrain is that good. I never realized how special the Mandeville 20B was until getting some seat time. Kinda like piloting an attack helicopter on wheels

 

Wow I haven't been on the forum in years. I just found out about this and can't believe it. I meet chris on a street in Rochester in 99 years I was sitting in my white 94 and we talked for like an hour. I also remember him change his motor in my garage he worked on it night and day to get it done.

Hey guys,

I haven't been on here actively in quite a while(Sold my FB a few years ago), but I was so impressed by this car that I had to track down it's build thread. While I'm saddened by the passing of the original owner, I am very happy to say that the car is doing very well! We had it at our shop today for some dyno work, and with the owner's permission, I was able to get a small clip of it before we finished up! To say the car sounds amazing would be an understatement!!!

Ray called me earlier today...... first pull secret rwhp (I'll let Ray divulge it) on the 12 psi WG spring!!

Giddyup Ray, Chris would be SO freaking proud right now

See ya on the Dragon my friend

 

That is awesome to hear. Chris would be proud. Come on Ray how did she do?

 

Boy this hits close to home...

Eagerly reading this thread for the first time....so engaged....hypnotized by the attention to detail...this guy is awesome...then it hits me. Like a ton of bricks.

He is an inspiration to me. He is an inspiration to us all. He is an inspiration to me to conquer my diabetes.

R.I.P. brother.

 

How many 20B guys are planning on making it out the meet on track in 5 weeks?

Now thats a nice build

 

What an incredible build. I couldn't believe the original owner died after completing it and had so little time with his car. How very sad. It seems like he was a staple in this community and will be missed for years to come.
