Yea ita a factory hood with louvers. I can ask the guy I bought it from where he had it done?

 

please do I think that is something that is highly sought after on this forum!

 

Ill find out from him tommorrow and post it up. Im planning on taking the car to Rotary Performance in Garland Sometime this week. The previous owner is being really cool about it and im 100% positive that he was unaware of the issues that existed, but we are going to get it all figured out.

 

triple that hood request. im in the market for a CF hood but the stocker w/ louvres looks awesome! I've been thinking about this for a while now but can't find one!

 

update: I took the FD down to Garland to Rotary Perfance on Tuesday. I called chris this morning and he said that it didnt not pass the compression test so it looks like its going to be rebuild time.

Ill get with him tonight about the hood louvers guys.

 

Sorry to hear that, but your symtoms sounded bad from the get-go. Hope you didn't spend too much on the initial purchase of the car. Good luck on the rebuild and I hope it all works out.

 

I havnt been able to get ahold of the guy to get the info in the hood. It looks like it will be a couple months before I get my car back. They are rebuilding the motor at Rotary Perfromance.

 

I'm still trying to figure out why the originator of this thread posted cosmetic shots of his car in a help wanted thread? There is a sticky at the top of the forum for such photos. Yes, I'm an ******* to some degree. Have a nice day.

The originator of this thread ( Oh Thats me) posted the pics hoping that someone might recognize the car and be able to give alittle history on it. Oh which did happen if Im not mistaken. Hopes this answers you question and you have a good evening..

 

Good luck with the re-build. Sorry to read of your misfortune. Obviously, you've got the car at one of the best shops in the country.

BTW: If I had to drive 170 miles round-trip to work, I'd move. Also, if you're ever in Owasso, OK and see a silver FD with a red RX-7 badge on the rear and red leather, stop and say hi to her (the car) for me.

Wow. Sorry to hear about that man. I've seen and pulled Kevin's T78 while still on my stock twins ( this was last year sometime). He is deffinately a standup guy. that will stand behind his word. but i have to admit he's had his car for a LOOOONNNGG time(maybe the origional owner) and even with all the time and money he has spent on it he really doesn't know anything about it. Like you said RP did all the work. Again sorry for the bad luck.

Hey quicksilver! I have lived in Owasso for over 12 years and have NEVER seen a silver FD. Did you sell one to someone that lives up here or something?

 

Well I took my car to Rotory Performance and they contacted me today with the news. It appears that the apex and corner seals were toasted due to overheating . he said he was about 90% done with it. So will be picking it up as soon as I get back from Germany. I cant wait to drive it.. lol

 

Sweet. What part of OK are you in? I'd love to see what that car can do when running properly.

 

I live in the Norman area. After breaking it in I will have it out at Thunder Valley for a couple runs dont want to beat up on it to much..

 

good luck with the rebuild man....hope everyting works out sorry for your misfortune...but when you get it back you will be all grins

 

11 days till I get back from Germany at pick it from chris.. lol cant wait

 

Hey Ozzman, If you do see this silver FD, it's that ******* that complained about you pics in the initial post so, keep going!

 

wow. looks beautiful
