Talking Oooh KIIII-hiiiinch... (CLICK ME K!NCH!)

Oh look, there she is... My 99% stock white FC that is OH-so-similar to yours, Besiding the fact that you "Has Moar Mods."



But wait! What is that in the background???



Is that... Can it be???



Oh Noes!!



It's a 1990 RX-7 GTU!!



AND THUS: SAAVEDRO88 HAS MOAR MODS THAN K!NCH!!






I bought it off of a Long-Time member who pretty much only posts in the NE Regional Section. The Mods list is as follows:

I am officially selling the black ‘90 FC of mine.
150k miles, 5spd, GTU

Here is what I have on it:

Suspension:
-Racing Beat: springs, adjustable endlinks front and back, and front swaybar w/poly mounts
-Tokico Illumina adjustable struts
-Corksport front and rear strut tower braces
-2 new front lower swaybar mounts (on the lower control arm)

Brakes:
-new pads 2 years ago
-I have, but not installed yet a full set of brake rotors, still in their boxes
-Corksport stainless steel braided brake lines - (in new condition, still in packaging)

Drivetrain:
-all new shifter bushings
-new Exedy HD clutch
-Corksport SS braided clutchline
-new master and slave cylinders
-Trans replace w/used 1 year ago
-drive shaft replace w/used 2 years ago

Other New Stuff
-new dual pass all metal radiator
-new thermostat and housing
-new water pump (not a rebuilt unit either)
-Optima redtop battery
-rebuilt lighting switch with safety relay to keep it from burning out again (from Icemark), new lighting harness
-new catalytic converter
-custom 2.5" single catback exhaust
-Sylvania Silverstar headlights
-new NGK plugs and wires
-Sony Explode Stereo (not one of the tacky red ones)

I'd like to get $1500 with everything on there
or $1000 with all the goodies stripped off - I kept most of the original stuff I replaced so I could put all that back on, though I’d rather not
The AC works, the power mirrors work, the sunroof works, that hatch works.
There is a bunch of other stuff I've bought that I cant remember, I'll have to through the receipts.

K!nch = 2
Saavedro88 = Over 20

Ah you bastard!

Congrats on the buy tho, looks really good. What are you going to do with your GXL? Plus, all of your "mods" are replacements my factory stuff still works and I have about a 1/3 of your mileage. Plus, once my TII goes in we'll race and see if the amount of mods still matter

Thank you!

Still haven't 100% decided, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to swap Everything from the black car onto the white car (because it's white, and it's and S4, which I like the looks of MUCH better than the S5), Rebuild the S5 motor and swap that in, then go from there.

But see that's the great thing! It's NOT all replacements, I've got all the original stuff in the trunk (you can kinda see it in the pictures) and it all works! But it's set up for auto cross, hence the suspension, brakes, sway bars and strut bars. You may have 1/3 of my mileage (Which I didn't know about, That's awesome!!) but it's rebuild time anyways as the coolant seal is on it's way out. (The coolant seal in the GXL is completely gone at this point.)

Lol... Seriously?? That was actually my first whip (from 15-17 years of age). I drove that thing harder than most people drove their sports cars. I took Honda's of all kinds from stoplights and whipped their pants off. I've sold it once and received the value of it two other times from insurance. The car will NOT friggin die, it's the most well running car we have in our driveway right now, besiding the fact that we just got it back from the cops cause it was stolen and the ignition was jacked up with a screwdriver. I had a cardomain page for it once upon a time, I'll see if I can find it or some pictures of it... For whatever reason you want them for... Lol...

I was kinda hoping you were... But I've got 'em somewhere... I built a custom box for the subs I dropped in that thing. I was the "popular" guy at school because of that thing. Go figure...

You know, It's scary to me, that after the thread I created about it, and all the pictures I've put up since I put that vinyl on, there's always someone who hasn't seen it...

Oh well...

Thanks man! My dad printed it off for me. Here's the thread: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ising+sun+roof

Oh I Know, But as I stated earlier in the thread, There always seems to be somone who hasn't seen it, even after all the pictures I've posted about it... I just thought it was interesting to have it happen twice in the same thread...
