I cant take them off his hands now even if the other buyer falls through :-\
I had my wallet.. gps.. MP3 player and such stolen directly out of my purse on new years.. I am busy trying to nail the ******* that did it, to the wall.

the CF hood isnt in great condition anyways.. which is kinda why the zip ties do not bug me. Previous owner pretty much let it go for free.

It runs awesome. Just has a few little mechanical problems like water temp doesn't work on the cluster and the oil pressure clip is broken. Just stupid small stuff. But overall is mint. It is an S4/S5 conversion. The whole body is converted to S5.

Everyone is lazy in there own way. Trust me. I bought a LSD about 8 months ago finally put it in sunday evening. I have a RB stock port manifold with a holley 650 sittin in my garage, Too lazy to put that in also(needs some work though. And new fuel pump) I got 2nd gen coils i need to install. 3rd gen twins im also installing. Been lazy in working on them. havnt put the rear panels back on after i took them off. I have a 2nd gen oil cooler im gonna put on also. havnt though. I have two sets of end plates and a set of housings that need some work to be usable. I have two sets of rotors that i need to figure out which im gonna use. And i got the whole paint issue i havnt touched since i sprayed the car...
Before

After well you can imagine it just being flat black....

Yea dude it kinda sucks. Insurance is covering everything car luckily the cars were under full coverage or i would of been SOL on everything.

The turbo is still here its not going anywhere. Although i am S4 now so. If its not gone by the time i am ready to upgrade i might use it as a core and have it sent to bnr.

BTW idk if I have the manifold anymore I gotta check to see if I put it in my parts bin in the garage or it was sitting unbolted on the motor.

The motor on the vert rx7 is toast although i might be able to pull the manifold off the car if you believe a cast manifold can survive 2000 degrees. Really the only thing i tried to pull off the car is Block off plates. I tried to get the eccentric shafted pulley off the car cas its a mazdatrix one but it was like metaled to the block.

there are TECHNICALLY three swearing ins... least for navy.

once right after MEPS into the DEP.
then before you ship to basic.
and then when you graduate from basic.


i'm a lil pissed at the weather right now. Got a visit from my recruiter at work (which I would of killed him for any other day.. cause most of my managers dont know) just to tell me MEPS was closing.

now I gotta wait another week

that's due to crappy tires.

my rx-7 does fine in the wet and it has 270 whp...

and I would assume it has an open diff, so it's not doing any directing anyway.
