Did it have the R1 lip and silver 18" wheels? If so not that i know of... The husband and wife that own that car dont really coverse on the club fourm that much....

As for the red FD was that you Brian?

 

That was me. I be the red FD in Lusby.

 

the black fd was stock maybe an intake from what i could hear..
how long have you had the red fd this is the first time ive seen it and all i saw was the taillights and it was dark.. have you done anything

yea that one family has quite a collection of 7's sucks they dont talk on here.. i wish i could meet up w/ some of the more mature in the import community its all civics and eclipses and fwd burnouts in the foodlion parking lots.. lame..

 

I've had the car for a year and a half. I bought it from a lady I worked with. She bought it new in 93. The engine blew at 69,995 miles. It sat in her garage for 5 years. I've put 4000 miles on the new engine since then. I usually only drive it on weekends. My daily driver is a 2001 white eclipse convertible with a black top. It's a nice summer cruising car, but compared to the 7 it's a land yacht. The only upgrades done on the 7 are intake, exhaust, and ACT clutch.

I haven't met the people that live by the hardware store yet, but I'm sure I will.
There may be 2 black FD's in Lusby. There is suppose to be one in the neighborhood across from Drum Point(where I live). I'm going to cruise over there soon and check it out.

 

yea if you ever go for a cruise hit me up.. ill shoot you my # in a pm.. im still finishing up my car and i still need to do some street tuning im looking for 250 on low boost and 325 on high .. i might sell the 240 for a vert fc this winter.. i fell in love w/ the red one that the chick drives around down here .. i think a vert w/ uras type 4 kit would be sex on wheels.. i would probably have enough to do a t2 swap aswell.. i need to look into local ppl who can work on rotaries tho.. i can rebuild my ka24 no problem but im blind as far as rotaries go.. im researching alot right now but .. does anyone in southern maryland rebuild out of there garages or anything ..

 

If you want to go fast it's way cheaper and easier to get a fd than to try and convert a vert to a turbo II.
There are no rotary specific shops in SOMD.

 

Yeah, if you want to go fast, you are better off going with a nicely taken care of T2 or an FD. Doing an actual turbo swap is alot of work. You are going to spend at the very least 8k on the swap if you want to do it smart. Meaning rebuild on junkyard J-spec motor.

A vert with a turbo swap sounds very appealing, but think about it this way. You are taking it from an N/A to turbo. Something that NEVER belonged in the car, so therefore you have to change EVERYTHING out.

Dave- I gotta stop by sometime and have a beer and see how everything is going. And I saw a Schoenbuaer van the other day at the St.Charles Mall. Was that you?

 

Yea I was picking up some clothes at Old Navy.

 

I shoul've left you a note saying "Hey!" -Justin

But I was not sure it was you.

 

yea i know the pain.. i have a ka-t .. i would probably be happy for now just having a clean vert maybe suspension and wheels power is nice and all but reliability goes to shizzit.. like w/ all cars.. idk..

 

Yea, she's a friend of a girl I work with. She bought that red vert from the guy that lives by True Value.

 

A reliable stock 3rd gen is most likley faster than 85% of the cars you would run into on the street. WTF is a ka-t?

 

ka-t is a turbo ka24de from the 240 .. i finally got it on the road today just doing some fine tuning and hating live cuz i have an exhaust leak on a 70a/r t3/t4 and it doesnt start spooling till 4 grand and it wont build boost.. but other than that its drivable.. not raceable

 

I suppose you have a V band then? Good luck getting that to seal.

 

hey dave have you had any problems with your rear end? A buddy of mine down here just blew his and we we gussing his hp at around 400 but its never been dynoed.... I think he's gonna go with the fc diff next time to try and avoid this.

 

no its a 5bolt housing but the wg flap on the internal gate isnt closing properly . .i think im gonna just close it and switch to external

 

No I have never had a problem with my diff and I've been pretty rough on it. I've never had much of wheel hop though. Maybe his did?

 

I think he had the mazda speed diff buschings so I dont think so but I havent asked him ... Ill checkon that though

 

Everyone brace yourselves!!!!

I GET MY **** BACK THIS WEEK......

I know we've heard this before, BUTTTT it is actually done and togeather. Took a long time, some my fault cause Im a difficult bitch! I wanted to do crazy **** to my motor. In the end it'll prolly blow to high hell just as easy, but what the hell, right?!
In case any of you are interested, my PPG tranny DID NOT come with an upgraded output shaft. So after me have a meltdown, they agreed to start producing them with mine being the first. Good news is you guys can actually put this upgraded main shaft in your stock tranny and not have to worry about breaking it. And this is the main thing that breaks in out tranny's after putting some serious power and abuse (9K launches) to it. I'll post the pricing and where to buy it once mine is in with no issues. I will say this tranny is sick and can't wait till spring.
Ernie

 

We have to wait for Spring? That just blows I must say.

 

So the big question is how much cake have you dumped into this CYM now?
Thats alright my motor is supposidly waiting for me too but I have to wait till after the holidays to pick it up according to the Mrs.

 

Oh, I don't know.....hmmm whats the national debt up to? lol..

 

So what did it dyno at this time Ernie? Or no dyno results yet?

 

Yes, that's what I thought. I don't know how you do it and stay out of the doghouse. Good for you. I'll be there in spring when you make it down to budds creek. I'll run you.

 

You just might beat him, consider he thinks he is still rusty. Ernie should be running 8's with that CYM!
