Yo,


Man, anytime the NA boys start showin' some pride in their rides, the Turbo boys gotta come and start some ****. Tsk tsk. Why is that? Reliability envy? *grin*

Anyways, hypntyz7, you can keep your turbo, BOV, and blown apex seals. I'm going to do a 3+ hour open track event with another GTUs and the biggest thing we're gonna worry about is...what's for lunch. *wink*

GZ & Agent D, thanks for the compliments. Rotary Racer is going to help put on his old suspension, so I'll finally lose my Dakar Rally look!

rarest rx...

IM just starting **** with GZ...IM entitled after putting up with all his bullshit too

Actually, this is my 2nd ever turbo II personally, and anyone who knows me will tell you that I like NA power better as well. In fact, IM in the midst of trying to trade my t2 for a s5 NA, probably a vert. My fist rex was an s5 NA, and there is nothing like one of those bitches...

Oh, and as far as blown apexes, thats something Ive never done personally. I have owned/driven prolly 25+ FC's, adn worked on at least that many more.

That picture was taken the same day that I brought the car home! (IE: Before I cleaned it up) The plate is an Ohio plate. Rest assured that it has been removed when I got the title transfered.

I learned from the best bitch!

I will build the 'vert motor in NA form to beat your turbo II. if you ever get an FD, Ill build a turbo II to beat it. now, whatcha think about that?

OH, btw, I heard about a recall on your old GXL you should know about. IT said to remove the rearview mirrors on those models, because you dont need them and theyre in the way...it said you'll see everything behind you when it passes you anyway

Woozoom,

That's what your GTUs looked like BEFORE you cleaned it up? Damn, you must have a really big box of Q-tips to get it any cleaner.

For what it's worth, that gets my vote as the cleanest RX7 I've seen this year.

Good job, dude!!!!!
