My old FD - where is it now?
Anyone know where my old FD is? I'm getting back into the FD market and trying to see if it's for sale by chance.
Any ideas where it is or who has it? Sold it almost 2 years ago to a guy in Wisconsin. Thanks.

I built it from the ground up over 5 1/2 years. Jahnkee in WI bought it 2 years ago, then sold it 1 year later. Now I'm ready to buy it back if it's available. Just need to locate it.

if you have the vin number from old insurance papers or the old bill of sale you could always do a car fax on the vin and find out what state/city it is registered in and go from there. I dont think you will be able to get a contact number but it might help you get a little bit closer

Once you find out what city its in can't you talk to the DMV and find out who has a RX-7 registed in that city? Kinda like in 'Gone In 60 Seconds'? I know it was legal at one time to get that info but IDK if they stopped it.
Clean FD man!

Correct, 17x9. Waited forever for them. They were super light, something like 17.4lbs per rim.

. An F-150 would be adequate, but I wouldn't tow anything like a car at any regularity, especially depending on the trailer.

and considering these numbers... you have added stress on the drivetrain.. youd be at the edge..
even with an aluminum open trailer and base model fd.. including accesories..
youd have to start thinkin about addin an aftermarket tranny cooler..
thought about gettin one for trailer duty as well but decided against it... apologies for the non related post..
