This car just sold off of Craigslist in Yakima, anyone here buy it? I understand it was built by the guy who built my yellow Rx2. The red Rx7 was a convert that was shortened, lightened and was supposed to be running a T2 drive line. Looks like it would be fun on the track, maybe 1800 lb and could have 300 hp.

So who has it?

 

If I had to guess, I would say John Jenkins.

 

not guilty! although i saw it on CL and thought about going to look at it.

 

Interesting is right. Am I the only one that thinks that is butt ugly?

Looks like the ones Mazdatrix makes.

 

Butt ugly, yes!
Maybe scary fast, priceless!

 

Looks like it has a v8 or .. at least not a rotary engine. In the scoop I think I can see a big air filter.

 

yea i see that too..... wonder if the carburated it or something....

 

JEB, you are right,

Speed > Looks

 

I don't know,
300 hp in a lightened short wheel base rx?
scary might be understating it.
jeb, where did gene run this thing? the pic you posted must have been from him?

 

Everything else in the drivetrain was T2, I do not know what it is today. But, since Gene is a bit of a rotary guy, I bet it still has a rotary in it. He do some interesting things, like a 13B into a Alpha. John, Gene was racing in the Yakima area for years. I am not sure if he is still racing.

 

he had an alfa romeo with a tII in his shop when i picked up the yellow car, so he does do some interesting things. (or at least things that very few other folk would consider).

 

yes, i agree. i see that too

 

I went and looked at this car it was around 5th and tieton, it had a huge aircleaner, and it was carburated. there was also a really straight 86' that went to the junk yard unfortunatly. There were 3 340sx's a toyota corona that is still there, and a old school delivery van.
