I dont know how you guys do it...

as many of you know my tII went kaboom a few weeks ago, maybe a month i have no clue.


anyway cars been in the garage since then and all i wanted up till the past 3 days was to get it out so i can get something else.


these past three days i have had the strongest urge to fix this fvvcking car, it may not be the best looking, easiest to drive, car but when it ran i loved every second of it. The exhuast, oh man the exhuast, racing beat 3 inch catless dp, to a custom made 3 inch catback with a dynomax muffler in the stock location, nice stockish sized chrome tip. looks so un suspecting till you look under and see the fat assss 3 inch piping and the sound omfg the sound it sounded like the biggest baddest 2 stroke dirtbike you could imagine through a quiet exhuast ahhhh.

rolling on the gas in 2nd 3500 rpm turbos almost spooled, 4k rpm boost just hits back end is about to break loose ahhh so much fun i know if i sell this car i will truely regret it, but having it just sit in the garage does nothing for me either.



I now fully understand why rx7 owners are called rotards; we are the only people who will have a car that is worth **** to an everyday person; blow it up and dump half or more than half of the cars value into it to make it run only to do it again.

just felt like venting and to keep this tech if i do decide to fix the car; when i would be going 35ish and go into 5th because im use to my moms crv where 5th at 35 is just right it would tend to bog down a little but if you gave it gas it would squeek; i am guessing the throw out berring?

Guilty, Rotard.

wow, very touching words there, i'm spending on average about $100 a week on my tII vert, because something tends to go wrong with it every week. Usually its a $100 fix minus when the clutch went!

It's not "rotarded"; it's DEDICATION and SACRIFICE.
