Oh and as far as selling my car. I don't know yet if I am or not. I am just thinking about it. This car constantly makes me broke. I go to school 9 months out of the year and don't even get to drive much and it eats every last dollar that I have..........

Than stop spending. Dial the boost back and drive the car. Save a little, spend a little. When this happened to me and I was in school, I just shove the car into the garage and stopped the temptation by not driving her (thanks to Amp for convincing me not to sell).

You think you're broke now ?

Just wait until you decide to race it and parts start breaking, that's when it starts getting expensive.

About the school thing I am in the same boat. You have to be able to limit yourself. There are tons of sick parts out there and the Rx-7 has a ton of potential but you have to make something for yourself (school/career) before giving a **** about the Rx-7. I sold my last one to not stress in school and bought the one I have now to keep myself from going nuts and am trying to keep it as low key as possible.

Here is the rear section finished, outside of the car. It was taken out to be painted and to have the finishing welds put on. After the paint dries the cage will be reinstalled inside of the car and the door bars will go on tomorrow.

I heard you were trying to sell it because you didn't want to drive with the sticker on the back, J/K. Cage looks good.

The cage is done and the car is back in my dad's garage!!!

Now, what gears should I throw in the Ford 8.8" differential?

4.33s or 4.56s?
