How many FC's died to creat yours?
How many FC's died to creat yours?
I was working on my car today, and realized just how many different FCs I have parts off of on my car.
The general total of cars that parts on my car have come from is no less then 25 different cars, not including my own chassis.
Mind you, my car has been gone through from top to bottom, and everything I was unhapy with replaced.
Just curious, how many cars have been sacrificed for your FC?

hahahah good god!!! i would say just 2. it was and still is in great shape. i happened to have a buddy parting out an 87 base, white, so i exchanged my headlight covers which had peeling paint. and i got a few misc. interior peices.
for awhile i had an aluminum hood for my other buddies 87 tII, so i count that. im probably leaving out a lot.
hahaha franken-seven!! ahhh sheeet!

At least 20 on my '87 sport, almost every body panel is from a different vehicle. My GTUs is pretty much 100% original as it sits right now, lots of aftermarket, but no used FC parts.
My GTU has about 8 different cars in it...
...but I've probably put more than 8 cars back on the road with stuff I've sold that I didn't need anymore... AFM... ECU... Intake etc...

my car is the only casualty with my 7. I think i missed the memo on that one. Oh wait here it is.
Dear Mr. Saunders
This is to remind you that using parts from you car that you want to run to fix others is not a good idea. This is also to remind you that other people have cars that you can pull stuff off of to fix yours.

I have taken 3 FCs to fix my pos. First one donated it's engine and hood and some interior panels. It's auto tranny died and was off the road for several years before I bought it and stole it's soul. I sold the rest of it to a buddy who used it to do the 5 lug/LSD rear swap on his car.
Second one was already in the junkyard, got another hood and fender, plus the little lip spoiler around the bottom of the bumper to repair the damage that resulted from someone backing into my car!! As a bonus, got the RX7 and MAZDA plastic emblems off the back of it.
Last one I found over an hour from my house, for $100, after I had an engine fire (not PD, but injector related). It had been off the road for 2 years. I stole it's electrics/harness/etc to make mine run again. Kept the MT as a spare. Sold it's engine (good compression) to the same friend as the first car, since he fried his oil seals in his engine (uses 2 quarts a week and generates his own smoke cloud). Removed entire interior and painted it black and installed in place of my red interior. Took TII mirrors and FG GTU replica spoiler and installed on my car. Also came with an extra hood, an aluminum na hood, will install that when I get the beast painted. Cut the passenger quarter out of it for when I get the body work done. Sold nearly everything else on ebay! Remaining shell was hauled away for scrap!
Now, I'm contemplating picking up my 4th 7, as someone I know has given up on trying to get it run and wants $100 for an 88 base MT. If I were to get it, I'd rather make it runnable to sell rather than part it.

Oh cool, a V8-7 !!!!
My,my,my, You (digitalsolo-thread orgin) say that a certain # of fc's have died to create your revised Rx-7, which may be true, but how can you still call it an Rx-7 when it supports a V-8 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
