Ongoing Montana thread

dont know when I will be home, probably in September or Oct. I am gonna take the 7 on a road trip from LA to Portland to GF and back to LA. Gonna kill me on gas but it should be paid for in the most because going home for 2 weeks for training. So it is on Uncle Sam, I believe the rate for mileage is 60 cents right now. Here are some pics of the ride.
That is no good.. Well motor is sitting and waiting. I got the front bushings installed but found out I need new Tie Rod Endlinks. Waiting on my money still... Going to get started on the Intake manifolds and Throttle body here soon...
Well after this pretty much everything is going to be rebuilt and or new. That is one good thing about doing the turbo swap.. Plus I am **** so it won't drive till everything is worked out.. I hope to have my money soon so I can get this crap going.. I need another 2 g's in parts to get it moving plus a couple other things after that. Making me crazy..I am so close now all I am waiting on is money..
Kyle keeps letting me drive his car too. I thought that would make it a little better but it just makes it worse. 
After this 2g's in parts I think I will be past the 10 g mark.. 
Thats in less then a year too..

WOW! I am a tight ***, everything i got on my car is either slightly used or I found a REALLY great deal. I also know a friend who knows a friend down here who owns a performance parts store. He got me my Intercooler and twin power for 700$ toatal. Nice dude saved me about 600$.
I try not to add up the money i do put in though, after you see the total it makes you think where you could have put that money.
Patience man, your time will come and you should give Kyle a run for his money.

update on my fd
Hey guys I got my engine to start, finally. I pulled off the turbos to inspect them and clean them and i discovered why my car was running like complete ***, my turbo manifold in between the turbos is shot, 3 cracks in it going all the way through and all the way down.. so i am shopping for some good condition. so if you guys run across a good deal let me know. so here in a month or less i will have my car back on the road.
oh yeah, are there any other fd's in town here in gf, i keep hearing of this red one rolling around but ive never seen it.

I am parting out my silver 88 auto n/a if anyone is interested. the hood and the doors are already reserved for 87-Rexxer-GXL. The motor has some blown seals, but everything else is in pretty good shape besides the exhaust. PM me if your interested

Ya, there is. If you go to the mini golf place in reverview the owner there has a son that has a red FD. The owner also a black 2nd gen. I was talking to him two days ago and he told me the FD can spin the tires going into third gear and he said it's pretty heavily modded.
Quote:
The owner of the red FD is my cousin, Seth. The black FC is owned by my uncle. I don't know what you are talking about rx7 SE or if my cuz was filling you with a load of **** but his 93 R1 is almost bone stock besides a Trust intercooler and a RE Am. Intake. It is a very clean FD but my FC blows it out of the water. He has been having a lot of problems with the turbos. He was home for vacation for two weeks to race in a Porsche event in Lewistown with a couple of buds. He told me when racing the car started to really boost hard after a couple of laps. So who knows, maybe its was hauling ***. Just being down here at sea level, the cars feel much faster then back home and riding around in his FD couldn't feel slower then riding around back in Montana at that altitude.
Just think it is funny that he gets home and THEN starts to say his car is "fast" as opposed to when he is back here in Cali and is always complaining about how "factory" it is. man, he's a nerd.

I'm just saying what he told me, and spinning the tires going into third i'm guessing isn't too impossible for a lighlty modded FD if you shift fast enough. What mods have you done to your FC? But anywayz, ya ur cousin's FD is clean.
his FD is damn clean, very nice. I hear you keep trying to get my Aunt to sell you her kouki tails.
Impossible dude, she loves that car and really has no idea how good of a 7 she has.My mod list was just posted in the "list of Montana owners" in this forum, check it out. The car is pretty quick. Matter of fact i dusted an 2004 M5 (big car though)last night driving home. He keep up pretty well until I got to third and he ended up being about 2 1/2 car lengths behind me when i was into 4th a little way.
