Never sell a project car
 

I was checking my email and one of my auctions links me to an rx7 for sale, my old car is totalled. 4 years of work and only 3 months after it was sold to the new owner.

Hmmm, I guess he got it running....

omg man, thats horrible. :(

OMG!!! :Kill2: the bastard who did this. Im sorry for your loss.

at least your a live.

excatly what landed o the top of your car?

EDIT:

o wait, the guy who bought it totaled it?

is he still alive?

Curious, how old was the person who bought it?

The guy who bought it is local to me, however I don't know him. I got a call about 2 months ago from a friend trying to help him out. The car was barely running and they had ordered a datalogic to get things in order. I never heard anything else after that phone call and never heard anyone local say anything about a wreck.

IIRC, the guy was farily young (early 20's) who had it.

Looks like it hit a telephone pole or something they way that roof is collapsed in. I remember seeing that car on here a while ago, it looked pretty nice.

the guy was 26 who bought it, I wont even discuss the running issues, I still have video of it as the transport company picked it up with the car running, vac. readings, etc. It was fine at the time. It also ended up in the missouri river from a theft.

wow.......that sucks....did anyone notice the tach?

What kind of turbo setup is that? Its got my attention.

Sorry to see the loss of another FD. Looks like a bad roll over. But liveable.

Sorry to see that. Another FD is a victim of bad judgement :(

damn that sucks

another fd down :(

all the aftermarket parts are still on the car :/

more like insurance fraud LOL

yeah I did, suspicous I agree. The setup was a twin t04e setup, I had it boosting when I had it initially tuned with no problem but he couldnt get it past 8psi, I believe it had a leak somewhere or a weld cracked.

That is a nasty wreck. This is a good reason for having a roll bar. Hope he wasn't killed! That is pretty gnarly to see the carnage. Yikes once again.

Looks like the driveline is essentially unharmed.....

So your saying that the car was wrecked by the thief? Or do you think it was reported stolen after he crashed it?

Im not saying anything, its not my place, all I know is its marked as a theft right now, then totalled by the thief

Wow, I mean yeah, it sucks that such a nice car was wrecked, but mostly everyone is more worried about the car then the guy. No doubt I love FD's, but I would think someones life is worth a little more then the car (sarcasm)

^ I disagree if it was a theif that totalled it

Give him a call and convince him to part it here on the forum....so some good comes out of this mess.

yessir :asian:

I think that could be caused by a cut ignition harness

Geez! That's pretty scary...

It didn't take to long for the vultures to come out.:rofl:
