problem is there isn't much in advertising so you're mainly on your own with a few sponsors. it sounds rough and i doubt it will get easier anytime soon.
take advice and even go out of your way to ask it, make things last as long as you can. even a tired 13B will go a few more seasons or just until the point it is so ragged that it won't start anymore without a fuel pump kill switch.

When i was talking to you regarding redoing the iron locally, i should've followed through....

Keep ya head up Buckey! Take a step back from the car and focus on the shop and paying down debt. It'll take time, but once you get that done you'll be able to focus on the car and drifting much better. You just need a clear mind and right now you're just burnt out with everything. That ****'ll make you make poor decisions.
And don't sell the car! You'll regret it big time. My fc didn't even have half the work you have into yours and when I sold it, I felt like a part of me left with it.

this whole build thread is the reason i got another rx7 instead of another 240. you need to just simplify the whole thing to get some seat time man.. good luck.

Hahaha word. No homo
Been waiting for payment on a few jobs, and parts to finish this thing up so i got down on making sure the paint was in check. You know, gotta keep drift cars looking fresh and all...
Seriously getting amped on it again now that its close. Need 2 -6 weld ons for the primary rail and hopefully by the time i get those on ill have the trigger wheel connector here and be able to start it on the AEM and figure out where to go from there

Here's a teaser of whats coming very soon. Ditched thew new 35r for this better sized 45r. 1.00 hot side. 70mm a/r charge side. Hoping to find a power fc, or haltech to send the aem back to my friend. Anyone have any leads for cheap? Ps1k haltech or complete fd power fc/comander?

^ahhh.. you should've kept the 35R.. the 45 will get you 600whp.....but you'll get it at 8500rpm.. and prob grenade your motor. With the 45r..you'll prob hit 16lbs around 5100-5400rpm... wayyyy too laggy for any useable powerband on a drift car man... Can't go wrong with a 35r.. quick response...good for 460whp on any decently sized street port.. Get it back... let the drag guys and dyno queens run the big snails.

^ 480 at what rpm? My old 4088r made 460whp at 16lbs ....but full boost by 4800Rpm isnt much fun in a drift car. The turbo you're using is good for 700whp on a rotary...prob 750ish. for comparison reasons... Saitos sc430 is pushing around 800-900whp using a gtx42r.. 10% more efficient across the board compared with the older gt series but its still a 42R. just saying...I've seen well built35r's do 480-500whp on rotaries... And they'll come on around 3500rpm..
