But daaaaad, HE started itttttt!

 

haha, i can't read all of that. same crap over and over.
i can say this, what makes any car that car is what it is when you buy it. a rotary doesn't make an rx7, the entire car makes the rx7. so why isnt it blasphemy when a rotary makes it way into another car? heathens i say! ...
i only have one complaint -- what, no revving? idling just doesn't get my jollies off. but like you said, the cam hasn't even been timed (you did say that, right?). so don't go screwing anything up. but just so you know MY opinion, i wanted revving and donuts. other than that, it looked nice. and were those 'vette wheels? just do me one SMALL favor; when people call it a "mini corvette," please correct them. at the time of production, they looked nothing little like corvettes. or is it just me? i just can't compare an FD with a C4. and, being on the rx7 side, i guess i just hate hearing "mini corvette." i'd say, if anything, the C5 looks like a "big FD." retorts welcome.

 

Nobody else was home to hold the camera. I guess if you had shown up at Fuddrucker's today you would have gotten a little better image. Eventually I'll get around to having someone get some video of SOMETHING

Not sure what you mean about Corvette wheels... are you referring to my C6 parked next to it in the driveway? I don't really compare the two, because they have different purposes for me.

 

nevermind. in the video the RX7's wheels looked familiar. you know what i was thinking of though? ferrari wheels. i just realised that. sorry, since i moved to nyc i've lost touch with cars for the most part. not by choice by any means, it's just how it is.
oh, i also wanted to question your use of a muffler. if i remember right, it looked like any generic import can. is it not common to keep the dual, more american style exhaust/muffler setup for such a conversion (american muscle engine in an import car)?

 

The idea was to make it look like a "normal" RX7 when just sitting there, and surprise everyone when it was fired up. It appears to have worked. There's actually close to $1800 worth of exhaust on the car, including 1 7/8 headers and a Magnaflow Race series stainless muffler.











The setup will flow plenty and according to everyone who's heard it run sounds nice. I'm pretty satisfied with the way it came out.

 

Effing sweet Joe.
Wanna help me pull the engine outta my 7?

Car goes to the body shop this morning, then to the suspension/alignment shop first thing next week.

 

so does that mean you are keeping it? whats getting done at body shop?

 

It was painted last year (about 250 miles ago) but I picked it up before they wetsanded and buffed it. They also forgot to paint the mirrors and there's a run in the rear wing they need to fix. I brought it and picked it up with the body panels off the car, so it was kinda fubar from the beginning. Anyway, it's back in to have the job actually finished.

I am still on the fence with it - I have a solid offer that I am happy with and the work I'm having done needs to be done, whether I sell it or not.
