NY Mo in NY with an FC

Hi! My name is Mo, I live in beautiful Upstate New York and I like turtles. My car is a pretty little 1987 Mazda RX-7 S4 powered by a modified 1993 Mustang Cobra motor. What's my favorite local sports team? I like turtles!

What's up Mo! Welcome and nice sounding ride. Always nice to find another FC owner harnessing V8 power. Can't wait to see some pics.

Thank you, thank you! Here are some pics and a short video can be found on youtube by searching for "morboeatspeople" lol It's the first vid to come up. On a side note, I was just in a bad accident last night and the driver is probably buying my car lol! 'Cause he needs another fast car! That'll be my last ride with him driving anything!

Being dirty in public. Poor girl. Oh, and my buddy parked almost on top of her and dripped rear fluid from an axle in his truck. >:P

PS its an S4 front bumper so the turn signals you will need to get for that to fit lol. And it looks like you still have tape on the clear lenses below the headlights from when the front bumper was primered black instead of red when I got it lol

Thanks! Nope! The ******** you sold it to sprayed them. A little compound should clear them again. Just not a top priority. Top of the list was undoing all the fudge-ups he made screwing around with it. BTW, he even managed to snap the connectors on the MSD blaster coil. You wouldn't believe how much of this car I had to redo. Hours and dollars... slowly flying away... lol! Good to see you on here! Just remember, they're serious about the rules as applied to posting so be careful. I screwed up three times trying to get going but the mod handling my activities was very forgiving lol! Any pictures of that custom subframe you make, to drop the motor lower?

Thank you, gentlemen! She might be out the door this week, so if anyone needs pictures of anything, now's the time to ask. Found a pretty little V-Star with my name on her.
