What kind of turbo are you looking for? I have a turbo off of an 87 in great condition if you are interested.

Well I've got an S5 turbo that I am playing around with, but I'm not sure if I am going to build it (hybrid) or use my S4 turbo. I will think about it some...if I'm gonna sell the S5 I will drop you a line.

Hehe, they should be in tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get the car aligned Friday. They come with camber plates so I can finally get a good alignment (-2.4 degrees neg camber up front, -1 degree rear, 0 toe, weeee). Can't wait till the next autox. I also put my schrothe rallye 4 harness in last night. STX will be mine! (If I kill richard/courtney and chris perera stays at school).

Yup, quality seems very good. They come with camber plates like a said, and the shocks are 15 way adjustable. I don't drive an rx-7 anymore though, so these are going on my mazdaspeed protege. Yay for wrong wheel drive.

I'm glad to hear it, my plan is to get a coilover setup... sometime in the next couple of years if I ever get this turbo put on.

I ordered a few parts today to keep me busy for a while.

anyone interested in a 89 vert? My sister is talking about selling hers for like $2500 its clean, gonna need a rebuild the oil seals are blowing oil by. Its drivable just smokes a bit during warmup and if you wind the holy hell out of it, top leaks a bit but normal. I have to find a alternator to put on it, to get it back running, it has brand new kuhmos, new fan, used mass air flow sensor, seats from my 91 the ones with the lumbar support and have the red stripes going down them. Heres a pic.

By the way getting 4" exhaust put on the F-250 and getting the stage 1 hypertech chip. Get it back tommorow. The vert is still getting neglected, i need to find that vaccum leak and get back in the rx7 world.

kudos to 200 pages

theres a place on broad, downtowne by the stupid kroger where the ricer punks hang out, its a firestone place...if you leave a 20 in plain sight and ask for uh...larry? i think? not sure...he'll inspect it for you, if its clean, he leaves the 20, if its not...he takes it and give you the sticker anyway...


i've got a red stock s4 wiht a GOLD hood, if that counts...and i'm down cary st every damn day thanks to vcu engineering woot...btw, zach can't park worth ****...oh, and if you come down cary where it crosses harrison, be sure to downshift and rev yer engine, my friend lives there an the girl below him has an over sensitive car alarm...drives him nuts...i try to contribute as much as possible

p.s. im trading my 1988 olds delta 88 for a shiny nice 88 bmw 325i pimp huh?

I was looking through my garage and I found a set of Kumho Victoracer's, size 225/55R16. These have only been used for one track day and would be great, inexpensive tires for autox.
Let me know if anybody wants them for real cheap!! I just need to get them out of my garage.
