Good news to me today!

I just made final arrangements to get a new (ok, so low mile )
1JZ Twin turbo engine, and it's coming with my needed R154 Trans.
This is the biggest step! I still need to get a custom drive shaft,
motor mounts, and a rewired engine harness. The hard part is
still ahead, but the commitment is now complete.

Expect a 6-700~ RWHP FC running pump gas pretty soon. I feel
like a little kid on X-Mas

oh man....dude im rooting for you! I have yet to make a commitment about a swap too, but unfortunately if i do i have to sell any and every trace of rx7 blood in me. I am helping a buddy of mine right now piece together parts for a 2jz swap in a S14.

The problem i can see in having that kinda power in an FC is putting it down to the ground ..with traction.

lol'd, hard. Thanks guys I'm excited

Nah you don't have to sell it all, you just have to give yourself the chance
to try something new and different. I talked to a buddy and plan to build
a mirror car with a RE or 20B as a DD, and use this as track only.

Gah to funny.

[Chorus]
99 problems and my engine is one
If you're havin' RX-7 problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems and now my DD is one
Hit me, I need a lift.
[Verse Two]
The RX-7's year '94 and my hatch rust is raw
In my rear view mirror is enough smoke to alert the law
I got two choices y'all pull over the car or (hmmm)
Bounce on the double put the pedal to the floor
Now I ain't tryin' to see no highway cuz my ride can't get that far.
Plus i got a few dollars for small parts today
But I...pull over to the side of the road
I heard "Son do you know why I'm stoppin' you for?"
Cause I'm young and I'm black and my apex seals cracked?
Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo'?
"Well you was doin fifteen in a fifty-fo' "
"Liscense and registration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin' premix on you I know about that kinda car"
I ain't steppin out of **** my smog papers legit
"Well, do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?"
Well all my pro parts are visible through the hatch in the back
But I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant to test that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack, you some type of lawyer or something'?"
"Just this has happened before for one thing...."
Nah, I ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit about my car
Enough that you won't illegally search my ****
"We'll see how smart you are when the K9 come"
I got 99 problems, now a high dog is one.
Hit me, I need a lift....
