The New Guy
Well.. i'm new here ot the forum, just thought id introduce myself, explain my project to come and my other toys...
Im CJ, live in Cleveland, OH(just moved back up here from Orlando, FL in july to finish my last yr of college) and just got a 89 RX that doesnt have a motor in it.
The auto tranny is still in it and i picked up a 13B non-turbo'd motor for cheap.
Right now.. I just got the car jacked up to pull the old tranny, gonna swap in this motor and get it driveable. Plans after that are to clean it up, new paint before winter and maybe start piece together parts to turbo the motor and change it to manual. This is going to be my daily for my other 2 projects
here are the pictures of the RX7:
and my other toys....
the F150:
the Ranger:

Pfft!
My dad owns a REAL "man" truck:
'05 F150 Base: 4.2Liter V-6, 5 speed, full length bed, bench seat, roll up windows, a tough as **** vynil floor, manual locks, CASSETE only stereo that was stolen, non tilt steering column, very bad material cloth bench seat that is the polar opposite of a lazyboy... the truck's has almost never been washed, enterior is dirty as hell, it's been neglected, abused, and torchured by 200 mile drives every other day, and most of all, it's been used for heavy work... for what trucks were built to do... the bitch still runs strong after 120,000 miles in 2 years and 5,000 mile oil changes... who said a Ford can't last? I say Chevy's can go suck on the 3 foot long shift lever! Thing's had better reliability than a Toyota!
Well, that's my rant for the day.
-Max.
Oh, yeah... I'm sort of a wannabe truck guy. I love offroading for some reason... must be the Russian blood and our bad roads over there!
I dont dig the low riders, but to the guy who said the trucks dont have *****: maybe the ones YOU saw dont, but take a look at the last picture.. what do you see on the very left??? Oh yeah!
