Just dropping by to say Hello

HI
I sold my FD but miss that car like no other. I now have a V-8 914. This is my second one as I sold my first after only having it for a month. I am having one shipped from MN and it should be here in a week or so.
Car's stats
450 hp Small block (New)
930 custom trans (good to 700 hp)
930 suspension and brakes
Koni adjustable shocks, Ground control springs

Picture

Hey, I like your wheels. Kinda like a poor man's 4 wheel steering, huh?

Your car sounds like a monster. I'd say drive it for a week and have some fun, then try to get your FD back.

yeah, that car does look nice dude, and it sounds like it's a direct competitor for the street. but it is funny how everyone I've come across that's sold their seven for something better at the time always comes back regretting parting with the 7

Don't miss the 7 dude. That 914 is pretty nice! I'd love to set one up like that.

whoops, forgot about you fu. but going from an rx7 to an s2000 really isn't that much of a jump I think. both cars handle wonderfully, and you can't beat the reliability of the s2000. my buddy owns one, trying to get him to mod it though, he's waitin till next year. but one thing i have to admit, when i first got my 7 and he first got his s2k, i used to fall back behind him on single lane roads just to get a full view of wtching him take turns. that freakin car is like an arrow (never seen an rx7 take turns on local roads at speed from third person view, so can't compare). honestly, when I was lookin for my next car it was gonna be an s2k or a 7, but when i first saw the 7 i know own it was love at first site.

What a great concept that car is. I can run is as hard as I want, and don't have to worry about a thing. Too bad the forum is so boring since nothing needs to be fixed.

Fix your link by adding the proper filename extension (.jpg) to the file. I had to download it and rename the downloaded file before I could view it.

Sounds like a fun ride.
