TX Long time lurker, first time poster

Hey everyone, name's Jason.

What to say, what to say..........


Well, I've owned my FC for several years now, and I'm tired of lurking so I decided to register. No particular reason, I just never got around to it. About the car, it's nothing too special, just an '86 GXL I put together to go racing on the weekends. I'll go ahead and put my flame suit on and say it's no longer rotary powered, but now a carb'd small block mopar. I know what you're thinking. Why mopar? Why not an LSx? That's easy, I had the motor left over from another project, so I just went with what I had. Nothing less, nothing more. It's backed by a gm 2004r and an 8.8 IRS so it's a pretty good combo that runs consistent high 11's. It's fun.

The v8 definitely turns it into a different car, that's for sure. I do admit it doesn't "feel" like an rx7 anymore if that makes any sense.
