GOD DAMN it was hot this Sunday, I felt like I was gonna pass out when I was changing the tires. It looks like VMSC finally figured out how to make small courses fun, having 6 runs was a plus too.

I hear ya on the heat. It was something like 95 degrees on danville.

That was great. How often do you go out there Brian?

 

Thanks. I just started doing track days in March, and this was my 4th event. I'm going back in oct on the 15/16 with carguys. If anyone's interested check out www.carguys.com (but their website sucks, so e-mail them if you want more info). It'd be great to get a lot of people out there.

If you feel like watching the whole session it's here:

The other video is the first 2 laps from that.

Anyone out here selling there rx7 engine 90 non turbo?
thanks!

 

I just picked up an S5 (89-91) parts car this weekend. I'll have to go check the mileage, but I know it runs and has strong compression (I checked it for the PO two months ago)

Where are you located? Need delivery? Is it for auto or 5spd?

PM me or email me at cafcwest.at.gmail.dot.com

Hmm... is that so?

Have a five lug right rear hub to sell (or at least let me borrow while I press a bearing into mine?)

I need to get this thing moving again, so I can get it to the garage, so I can put my 'toys' in. It pains me to have a 70% complete 6 port turbo engine just sitting around.

Speaking of, ever end up parting out that TII engine? I still need a front cover and few assorted pipes and peices.

 

Jayson,

Are you parting out the whole car? I could use some interior bits, I've managed to bust a few plastic pieces pulling the Hoosiers in and out of the car, and the warning lights cluster surround shattered on me this past winter. Anyway let me know if you wanna sell them or not.
That's what I need to find - a black 90 parts car.

-Dave-

 

I locate at sandston.
It is 5 sp.
This is al new to me. I probably needed complete long block which plug and play.
I also need an installer. hehe

 

Chris,
I'm trying to keep this as 'rolling' as possible for awhile, so I can move it in and out of the garage. I might just take a whole weekend of work though, strip it complete, and then it's a non-issue.
Last time I was at my house in the Tidewater, I tried grabbing a whole suspension for you. UNfortunately, the bolt that attaches the front of the lower control arm has seized to the subframe. I might be able to take a torch with me next time I'm down and get it - so eh, I dunno.
I do have that S5 turbo motor broken down - I could probably rid myself of a front cover and stuff - Papa needs a new cell phone :-)
Give me a call when day when we can get together and we can work something out - I live in the West End now (Woodman/Hungry)



Dave,
I'm 99% sure that I've got a few spare black surrounds. The interior is pretty rough on this car, but I might have some of the stuff your looking for. Best bet is to call me after 5pm some afternoon when you can come and have a looksee. 804.687.6199.
And of course, I can always trade you Hoosiers for interior parts ;-)


I got your PM. Well the car is complete, so you can have as much as you want. I could probably do an install for you, let me think up a number for the motor and for the motor installed.
Does the car still run? Are you able to get it to the West End - just a quick run down I-295 to the Woodman exit?
Give me a call AFTER 5pm one afternoon and we can discuss - 804.687.6199



I swear, you guys are the true buzzards of the RX-7 world. I haven't seen this much activity in this thread in months :-)

 

Out of my cold dead hands maybe

 

wow...someones a little defensive of their Indiana rubber

 

mine mine mine mine all mine
muahahahahahahahaha

 

Every time I see you post, I automatically think "HOLY CRAP he's gotta be selling something I need!"

Seriously though, I've been driving my POS Dodge Stealth for two months since the 7's been dead with that wheel bearing issue. Sure it has torque, but that's it... I keep thinking, at least it was made in Japan.

 

Well I will be getting rid of some vert wheel in the next few months.....:-)

 

I believe the Stealth's and 3000gt's were assembled in a plant in Normal, Illinois with some of the parts coming from Japan

 

No, they where all assembled at the Mitsubishi plant in Nagoya, Japan (VIN begining with J to denote Japanese manufacture.) That's why they aren't considered "DSM" cars.

 

It's the obesity and unreliability that makes people call them DSM's

 

Kai,
Have you had a chance to tear that engine down? I am interested to see what kind of shape the internals were in. Did you still want the wiring harness plugs? I remember you saying you were going to need them for the Haltech. Let me know.

-robin

 

I R at Virginia Tech now. You all care.

~brian

 

Sweet, I'll hit you up on AIM

 

Looks like you had a great time. That track is unbelievable!! Unfortunately, I haven't been out there in years. I do hope to go sometime next year. How many people were on the track? It is great that you had all that open track. That is very rare in the events that I have attended.

 

Yeah, really. I've thought about painting black spots on it to give it the big-fat-cow look.
I haven't opened the block up yet, and don't really plan to until I have a rebuild kit in my hands. I did externally tear it down, clean it up and test fit the TII manifolds to see what all I have to do (and there's plenty.)

Yeah, I can still use the harness left-overs. That reminds me, I found one of your engine lift hooks on the engine, you probably want that back.

 

omghi2uall!!!!!!111!!

Looks like I may be buying an FD project car this Sunday.
I'll fill y'all in on the details if it pans out.
