Nobody cares about my addiction

 

I'm impressed.

Out of cuiousity, what kind of numbers are you posting? (ie 1/4, 0-60, 60-0, hp, lb-ft, etc.)

 

Uhh, no numbers yet ... but soon. It's still kinda in pieces. It's been a 3+ year long project.

 

So you have all the parts but not actually hooked up in the car yet?..wow!..im going thru the same **** man!..I have bunch of go fast stuff that are collecting dust. They are waiting for a new motor. HEHEHEHE

 

Got a link to this? Ive been trying to take in as many intakes as I can, then making a choice.

 

Well, my stuff isn't collecting dust anymore ... My target date is Sept 8th to have the thing on the road. I have about 100 hours and $5000 to go still. But the wife has ok'd it so far.

 

Not yet, you could run out to the body shop with me Saturday morning to see it for yourself. The only thing is that you can only do it if you remove the stock headlight assembly. Me, I just pitched the headlights completely Who needs 'em. Basically, if it doesn't make the car go faster, it's gone.

 

I'm very interested in your addiction....I'm just soo green w/ envy that it took me a little while to post.(Took about 5 hours to mop the drool off my desk and floor)
Nice mods...let us know some numbers when you get a chance.

 

I'll have my first round of pics this Saturday ...

 

Congrats on a great car! Let us all know how its coming! I now have a 88 T2 that I am starting to do some things with. Its going to be fun!
Happy motoring!
PS: How can I change my sig to reflect my new car & mods? Thanks much!

Wow. Pull this one from the dead? Funny, his target date was Sept 8, and it still isn't done

 

yeah, where the **** DO you guys get all your money

 

We started with the car about 5 years ago it was a 1980 12A turbo carbureted RX-7 and ran 10:4's 100% street. Then we started putting money into it very slowly. After making the car go 8:32 we finally found a sponsor called ANGEL GUARD (after us putting all the money into it). Angel Guard is a locally made car care product like Armor All only it makes the tires a hell of a lot shinnier, it sells pretty good here. The sponsor pays for everything that gets broken (tranny, turbo etc).
