205-50-15 RT615 Azenis $300:
http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/1219035524.html

5 lug wheel and tire setup $300:
http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/1223683135.html

Enkei 92 5 lug wheels and falken tires $800:
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/pts/1241804229.html

thats all i could find for decent tires, you could always resell the wheels after you take the tires off and make most of your money back.

if your 5 lug...the enkei 92 setup would be a keeper for an FC.

everything is OBO...so you could probably get those Azenis for $275 cash

if you get those, you gotta lower your car...it would be sick!

for $300 what the hell. they would be different on an FC, and if his car was lowered, they wouldn't look that bad.

he just needs tires so his car can come to meets with us.

i can help out with most of that. if you need me to come by and give a hand i can with the vaccum leak or the carb build up in the engine. but i can tell you alittle. just pour alittle of auto trans fluid in the engine and run it for a bit. it should help some what. also if you need the stereo and speaker i can find my old ones and see if you want them. you can probly take them for like $50 for both deck and speaker. if you dont care what they are and just want something to listen to then i might have something. i might have a kenwood simple deck and maybe some cheap speakers you can hook up to. for the head light switch there is a parts rx7 at AL's junkyard in franklin that might still have it. i hit that car up on saterday and most of the stuff was still there.. if not then there are guys in the 2nd gen parts forum that is parting out the whole car and might have it. but if you need some help PM me....

P.S.

I MIGHT HAVE THE TIRES YOU NEED. LET ME LOOK IN MY STACK OF TIRES AND MAYBE FIND YOU A GOOD SET FOR MAYBE $100 TO $150 FOR ALL 4. ILL GET BACK TO YOU LATTER TONIGHT.

brakes need to be re-bled starting with a bench bleed (that i can take care of)
bad U-joint - so i need a drive shaft.
has a vacuum leak somewhere and a few hoses missing that i need to find where they need to go.
i need to try some sort of engine clean out (carbon build up)
4 new tires
shifter bushing is shot
needs a stereo and speakers
needs a headlight switch and the harness
install the exhaust

yeah... its small stuff... and i do have a month and a half to do it. but my garage is occupied by wood working stuff until i finish this desk.


check these tires out. there are three here. 2 of them are 205 50 15 and 1 of them are 205 55 15. i have another 205 55 15 in my garage that you can have for $10 more. just look at the link. if you do buy these tires and mines, you will have 2x 205-50-15 and 2x 205-55-15. they are alittle off but will get you on the road for cheap.

20Bforme well i have 2 205-60-15 tires, actually they are on some gxl wheels. but like i said they are only 2. let me know if you still want that bonez race pipe, if you do shoot me a price that you'd pay for it, and maybe i can help you install it with the rest of your exhaust. maybe help you bleed the brakes too. Or i do have my 18" At Italia Flashes for sale, but the down side is that they are gonna need tires by the end of the season.

Maybe we could plan for mid-late july, or i could get some of you guys to come out to AutoX on Aug 1 and 2, just a thought
