Congrats! I went to the NHRA website and saw a few Rx7s in the class and a few supras as well. What's BFE?

Nice 60ft too, what tires were you running and how did you launch? I saw a few pics of your car with a black trailer. I was wondering how much that trailer weighs and what do you pull it with. (if it's yours)

It's nice to see another Rx7 in the class. A show car that runs hard is very impressive. Good luck to both you and Dan tomorrow.

BFE is actually Australia.....stands for (Butt F*@k Egypt).....

I was running Mickey Thompson Street Et's and just dropped the clutch at 8100rpm off rev limiter with 11.5 psi in tires.

That is my trailer...it's a 24ft Haulmark....not sure what it weighs but I am selling it since the city of Denver is telling me they will fine me if I don't move it. Selling for $6,000

I ended up taking 2nd in the car show and 3rd in Sport RWD. I blew out my tranny for good today....Now I can't even baby it into 3rd!

Dan bent his rim some how and had to borrow my slicks for the finals but I guess they stuck too good cuz it took out his 2nd tranny of the trip.

So, that's what happened to Dan. His transmission broke? He broke two transmission this weekend? What broke, do you know?

If your referring to me, you must be mistaken. I didn't reciently touch anything to do with the your transmission, and my tent didn't blow over next to my trailer. And if you where actually next to your car and trailer like you made excuses for all day, my guess is your tent wouldn't have blown over? But then again I was at least smrt enough to anchor mine down apparently.

Both times he tried to launch the car at 8500 rpm and it gave.....The second tranny he wasn't sure about the condition of it so he wasn't expecting too much from it. It was definately an expensive weekend for him with the two trannys and a bent wheel.

Thumbs down

You talk a lot of **** for what you have done to Mike's car. Mike breaking his syncro has what to do with me? Thats right, I put his tranny in for free because Mike watches out for me, and you! But your joke *** wants $75 an hour. So including how long it took your drunk *** to do a paint job, I'm going to guess that's $125,645.69. So to do the clutch that you have never done on a FD I'd like to see how long that takes you. This includes all the times he passes out on the floor in 15 degree weather because that's how Ryan works. So I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you, we both have **** on each other. That is all.

Marc

I'm sure there are times when Ryan is worth $75 per hour......I'm just not that rich! I am pretty sure my 3rd gear has been going out for some time now......It just keeps getting worse every time I race. The clutch must be working as I got a 1.55 60ft......Just glad I have many friends to help me out as it wouldn't get done if I had to do it myself!

Your right he got what he paid for, a free clutch install and a jacked tranny in the process.
Well Marc if we all took the same approach to working on a vehicle as you there would be a lot less running FD's out there! And as for me working drunk on Mikes car says even less for you, because my drunk work apparently is still better than yours sober? Cause untill you last touched the tranny it used to shift correctly (B's words) from the clutch that Brandon and I did, and oddly enough Mikes car even still runs? Maybe the problem is your not drinking enough while using your really big hammers to put the cars together?

I would agree that Ryan is more detailed than just about anyone in Colorado, but I honestly don't believe Marc caused my 3rd gear synco to go out.........On the other hand.....I'm not 100% sure that the stick shift is together right since it feels so tight and awkward.



Us Rotary guys are supposed to be all friends!

This shows your lack of knowledge of the mechanical condition of his car (that’s right you don’t work on it). The tranny was not shifting into third even before i put the clutch in (from mike). Clutch/syncro related how when you put a new clutch in, they dont your just stupid. I didn’t touch anything with the gears, that’s like me blaming you for the rock chips on his front bumper.


Secondly Mike’s car would have a red engine bay if it was up to you. Cause you didn’t know how to do take the engine out and put it back in cause the little green book dosent tell you how step by step. All you are is a monkey, plan and simple. Also for the record Brandon did 90% of the major work on that car and who claims he did it all with no help??? Oh yes the great one Ryan. You’re a ******* joke when it comes to mikes car. Since you did the paint job it seems you did the motor the tune and everything that makes it run. This just shows you the lack of integrity that Ryan has, trying to claim other peoples work as his own.

Let’s not talk about him being in his mid 30's with nothing going for himself besides a nice toasty death bad. Just admit it ran you a waste of air, and a waste of a beer hole (aka your only friend, because you fucked over everyone else in your life who had any meaning, (besides women, that’s another story))

This is my last response to you on a public forum, I don’t care what **** you come back with or how much more **** you talk I’m not going to respond. NMP

Enjoy your hand,

Marc

Your correct as far as the clutch and a syncro they don't. However not putting the shifter back together correctly definitly hinders shifting in to any gear.

As far as the engine bay being red or black, once again you shouldn't assume. It would have ended up black either way. The only reason you got to touch it is cause you owed B money. You and him made some deal to clear your tab and B got the stick end of that one. Hence the reason B still has no A/C, once again your part is still half assed finished.

Quite the pot called the kettle black statement about the ******* over of friends, comming from you?

But again your right, maybe I should be 22 again take a bunch of Roids. Live with my parents, sell HUD homes and put every living cent in to a car that runs for if I'm lucky a week at a time. Talk **** about it to everybody for 3 years and then be pissed off at everybody, every time it breaks. But yet can't figure out why nobody will help me out when it's needed?

Everything I own I've worked for, you can say it's trust fund whatever. Cause as with everything were all sure your right! At least your college edjamacations got your english and grammer down though.

And it's all ok, I'm sure well all hear about it in your next Roid outlash sooner or later!

wow, when did this bickering start? It looks like I've missed some things going on since I've been gone. Mikes right though, us rotary guys do need to stick together, we are too few to be fighting amongst eachother, and we are all wierdo's but that's besides the point. But I guess you can say Ryan isn't a rotary guy. When did all this fighting begin? It looks to me like we need to get together to get mikes car finished to we can see it's full potential. We have seen what it can do without fuel and with a good driver, now lets add some fuel, a tranny and get a local title at a race for once.

Mike, let me know if you need some helps on parts, I still owe you big time.
