23.7xx is my best so far. ive only been twice since the new design. im on the top 100

im really itching for autox season to start back up...

anyone by chance looking to move out? im in the process of wanting to get out of my house and i need a roommate. i was supposed to move out with the girlfriend, but i decided that probably wouldnt be a good idea since im not ready for all that just yet. somewhere in the chester/midlothian/richmond area. i dont want to be more than 30 minutes away from work. (lexus of richmond).

anyone?

 

Hmmm, how convienent. What are you driving while you are tearing both cars apart?

We just put the NA motor from my vert into my brothers car, had it swapped in about 9 hours, we are just waiting on gettting the radiator flushed now before we try it out.

In case anyones interested, i have a racing beat street strip clutch and pressure plate for a NA with less than 9,000 miles on it. $285.00 Also have a S4 NA upper intake and plentum it is polished for $85.00. Also have 4 88 NA 460cc injectors, recently cleaned by RC engineering, about 6,000 miles on them since cleaned $90.00 Also have a S4 5 speed tranny tha came out of the vert along with the rear differential, ill let that go cheap just so it will be out of my way. I also have whats left from the TII fenders, glass, sunroof, seats, doors, and wiper switch with the rear wiper and a couple of other misc. switches out in the shed. Ill let the TII parts that are left go cheap if anyones interested, if not its getting trashed.

 

Mom's SWEET Pontiac. It gets all the ladies.

Suspension is swapped. It took about 6 hours with some assistance from a hungover RX-8 dude. So, the old 87 is back to stock suspension. New engine is next.

Damn I need a new car.

 

Do you have to pay shipping, or is there no charge if you pick it up at the distribution center?

 

I don't know if this helps but I have a house and am loooking for a roomate.
I live about a block away from Regency Square Mall, I don't know if thats too far out of the way for you though.

 

So Zach what WILL we be seeing you driving this season hmmmmm?

 

there is no shipping if you go there and pick the engine up yourself

 

where do you guys take your rotaries around here? I called mitchum (sp?) off research road and he said he'd take a look at my car for about a 100 bucks. It's burnin oil so i need to figure out what's up with it.

Hello Richmond Area Rx'ers.......

I've got an 87 non-turbo Rolling chasis with new struts, real nice cat-back system, down pipe & presilencer & pretty straight sheet metal. it has a clean title. also a wrecked parts car willing to let them go real cheap.

I'm located in Louisa County about 7 miles off of I64 exit 143

Pm me if interested

 

well when i get mine running again i am gonna be taking it to delta v motor sports in richmond they are rotary specialists the owner has been racing and working on rotarys for like 10 years

 

I'll be there,spectating (I ain't ripping up $400 worth of Yokohamas)

 

Probably the same here, but only cuz I haven't finished paying off my 240 yet..

 

haha, I might be there too, but also only spectating because I am spending my money at Sebring the week before.

I can't wait, racing + alcohol + spring break = teh win

 

Spotted: Red FC on Horsepen at lunch time, who lives over there?

 

25.4xx for my first time out there, would have gone faster if it weren't for the ******* morons in the way...:o

 

Joe, are you still sitting on your TII?

I took a ride in a LS1 powered '89 RX-7 last night... and I have changed my mind when it comes to V8 swaps. I would highly recommend it.

 

I've done some looking into that too, it seems to me the main stumbling block is finding the donor LS-1 engine
This site had some decent info http://www.hinsonsupercars.com
How was the ride? cornering, rev range of engine etc....

 

Yea, I have enough in the bank, I'm just wanting a cushion and to do a final check over the EMS before I tear into it (pull/test injectors and duty signal).

Ironically enough, my mentioned first time out at gforce, a group of us ended up talking to a guy that put a LT1 in a 87. He was recommending that too. Honestly, I'd have to be lying to say the thought hadn't crossed my mind, but that'd jack up the price of getting it mobile again ~2x. :o

 

There is also a world of difference between the LT-1 and LS-1, I just wanna know how a V8 changes the character of the car.

 

I only went for around a 10 minute ride at night, so I didn't get to see much of the car. He did open the hood for me but I couldn't make much out other than a mess of wires and a PVC intake. Apparently he just did the swap, so he was working on making a real intake that fit. And he hadn't done anything to the car other than swap the drivetrain, so the old and worn suspension didn't help much.

We went out onto 460 and did a couple straight line pulls to the top of 5th gear and it definitely throws you back into your seat. Traction was also a big issue since he is still on the stock wheels and some shitty worn tires lol he was nice enough to mention how bad the tires and suspension were after we were well into triple digits. The spedometer wasn't hooked up yet, so all I know is we were going pretty damn fast.

About the power range of the engine... having torque and lots of it down low seems pretty nice. It was a bit odd since I am used to revving the **** out of mine and he was probably shifting a good 2000 RPMs earlier.

Once he goes through the suspension, gets new wheels and tires, and cleans up the engine bay a bit it should be one hell of a car.

 

count me in...gf has to work so it'll be nice to get out some...
