So I went on this long adventure down from columbus, ohio to maryland to sell my FC, to virginia to pick up my motor, and to NC to get the shell.

Once in virginia, the guy I got my parts from (fritz flynn from here) he offered me this BNR stage 2 turbo for 300 bucks. Said the manifold needed a bit of work but he'd let me have em for that much. I said ok fine sure whatever, we were doing this at 5 am because we'd been driving all night and he woke up early to come meet us as we were headed to NC to get the shell which I thought was rather nice of him.

Well I get it back home, get it to a friend of mine at the rx-7 store (his name is mike, so NOT xavier or jason working on my whip) and he put my wiring harness back on for me. Low and behold we go to put the y pipe on the turbos and it won't fit. Kept checking it out and were wondering well why the hell won't it mate up? I called brian down at BNR and he said that the stock y-pipe should fit fine on a stage 2. I described it to him and what not and he said "ha that's not a stage 2, it's a stage 3. It needs to have the y-pipe modified in order to fit on there." Mike and I both looked at each other and started laughing. After all the hassle i went through to get this car back up here and together, at least SOMETHING nice happened. We checked the turbos out completely, and everything else is fine. Even the manifold isn't as thrashed as I thought it was, just a couple hair line things that needed touching up.

So, for 300 bucks, I got a $2600+ turbo. Yeah.... I need to get some more things now.

 

maybe you should be a nice guy and send Fritz a couple of hundred bucks for being such a nice guy...

 

damn... good deal. Mike's a good guy too

 

I've never heard anyone with something bad to say about Fritz

 

lucky bastard

 

shakes fist*

 

Fritz probably bought them from someone else that didnt know what they had. Isnt that crazy. Parts, engines, and cars change hands so fast around here and people dont even know what they have. What a deal......damn your lucky.

I'll give you 600! c'mon that's twice what you paid

yeah that's a hell of a deal bud. go modify your pipe and get em rolling. congratz

 

fritz is the man

.

 

Fritz....he's a Rx7 Pimp

 

and to think i paid $500 for a stock set from him

 

Honestly I think fritz was being rather nice to me just because he understood and knew the crap i had to go through to get to him in the first place. Fritz is definately a good guy I need to go post that up in the good guy/badguy forum.

T.c.

 

Glad your happy and thanks for the business

BTW remember to have the turbos looked at by Brian because they are blowing oil.

If you need the modified efini Y pipe I'll be happy to let you have it for $175 shipped.

Thanks,
Fritz

 

now that is what you call sweet. Get em on and get us some dyno numbers asap.

 

Fritz = Great guy, always had great experience with him
