Spotted, White FD in Oakland, Nj

There's a white FD with black rims at the end of 202 in Oakland at a tire shop. it's been there for a couple of weeks at least. Anyone here?
Might be for sale, I'll try to drive by this weekend to see whats up.

Did it have white wheels, Greddy exhaust, and 99 spec tail lights. I see that car all the time on the GSP.

No, it looks like it's got the original wheels painted black. I didn't have time to get a closer look.

LMAO, never knew there were so many rx7 savvy guys in my area lol, honestly wish i knew so many of you were around.

Yea the white FD is mine, I'm the head tech at that shop. I've also got an 88 n/a and an 89 t2, i live right up the street in wayne got a decent sized shop at home too.

I just got it in december from some kid in mass. blown motor, body is straight but keyed up pretty decent. Ihor just built me a nice ported motor for it and its also getting a t04r and pfc and all the supporting mods, im just waiting on a clutch and some motor mounts right now before i drop it all back in and finish it off.

My 89 t2 is getting a major overhaul as well (about 2 years worth) both cars should be finished this spring, with the fd just needing paint and interior work which will be next winter's project.

I attached some pics of my t2 in progress, im just wiring it up so it looks a mess at the moment, should make some big numbers with that car, the fd im looking for just 400ish not pushing the limits, the t2 meanwhile im going as big as i can with meth injection, t78, nothing stock anywhere basically. should be a monster.

feel free to stop by, only 7 i see pass by is a red fd with a big wing, i have a friend with an s4 t2 who we've been building his car up as well with a BNR hybrid, ported motor, and tons of other stuff.

Also that's basically my shop so if anyone ever needs something welded (i can weld steel, not aluminum) or just needs something installed or help install something, lifts always make suspension work and **** easier lol. Oh and i can also get good deals on tires if you need those. But yea, if anyone needs anything PM me or whatever, or just stop by and ask for kevin.

I also attached a pic of my shop/garage at home (seriously a mile away from my work/where the fd is) we should have a rotary BBQ once my driveway is finished being paved, got enough parking for like 10 cars.

kevin.

Hey guys,
Kevin, thats awesome that you own the shop!! I'll need some help installing a tranny or replacing my 5th gear syncro, let me know if any of u guys can do it or help me out since I've never messed with a tranny before. Also, if any of you know where I can get my car inspected in the area cause I want to get it back on the road.
Kevin, I'll also be needing tires for my truck so let me know!!

Nick

hey guys,

Yea my only real free time is on sundays (i work 7-6 during the week and 7-5 on saturdays) Unfortunately the only 7 i have on the road now is my 88 n/a beater/parts picker upper got it for 500 bucks but its got a new motor not much done to it tho lol. my other two cars are at least worth looking at lol.

nicobaires: what size are the tires on your truck? i'll see what i can do for you. as for replacing the 5th gear synchro I don't mess with trannies, i can pull out the trans for you pretty quickly tho. My shop does business with a local Aamco for trans work, so if you want maybe i can see how much theyd want to do the work.

see ya,
kevin.
