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.

Verneuil

DAM that just sucks No worrys, Hes been tryin to sell them for over a year. Hes got time. So whenever you nail this guy to the wall and do what ever to him.....Pretty sure they will still be there for sale. Hmm well sounds like a CF tech day to fix ur hood then

that's an impressive S4/S5 conversion...

Nice find. how does it run?

TrinitySRT

I am jealous of the paint of pretty much every RX7.... lol
and interior.

tech day for that.. and my shifter bushings.. cause im lazy haha
it will take a day for everyone to make a list of the little things wrong with my lil rotard.

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.

Yea the guy i bought it off of said it was repainted like 2 years ago and garage kept. Ill put pictures of the engine bay up later its spotless.

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

Holy jeez Ricky I just read about the fire thats crazy. Im still thinkin about that turbo.

MXRXRicky

iTrader: (3)

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.

the manifold is fine with 2000 degrees. the exhaust of a rotary gets almost that hot

Verneuil

We can make the meet this month for TrinitySRT's tech day. We can all have a go at demoing a CF hood

Verneuil

Yall are a pretty quiet group. Lol

TrinitySRT

it happens?

so Wednesday if I swear into the Navy.. ill be getting a ship date. I do have to get somethings fixed on the RX7 before that ship date. tech day sounds great lol

Verneuil

Wait what? Ship date after u swear in? Whaaaa. I shipped the morning I swore it in. But navy? I'm partial to the coast guard though. What are u going in for?

TrinitySRT

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

Verneuil

Hmm I wasnt in DEP. 4 months from seeing the recruiter to boot. That sucks. Dam navy guys....Go home when theres a inch of snow. Pshhhhh lol

Verneuil

So FB+lsd+toyo RA1 tires add a lill snow=a lot of fun. Anyone else takeing there 7 out today or last night?

TrinitySRT

my 7 stays home if its wet out AT ALL. poor thing gets no traction... I dont think the diff knows how much power to direct to the wheels anymore lol

actually it was EVERYONE at MEPS that went home lol so every branch.

eage8

iTrader: (9)

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.
