lol wow someone with a moostang actually admits defeat.....im shocked...well sell the stang and join the dark side...

v6er

ya im planning on doing that since its a v6 which are slow pieces of junks. only putting out 150 at crank which sux. plus ive talked to couple of dudes around my area who owns rx7s so they can help me build one fast machine

I wish my car put out 150 at the flywheel. Damn... lol

--MAstermind--

That would be a ridiculous car if yours did. I'd buy it.lol

Naegleria_Fowleri

It should be as soon as my streetport is finished. I am actually hoping for around 130 at the wheels with the streetport done. I really need to finish it already. I want to get started on my other FB project... S4 TII is after streetported 12a. That is why I own two FB's.

Anyway. Yeah get rid of the Mustang, go with an FC. Even if you go with an all motor FC, they are still tons more fun to drive.

do you know how much a good running FC cost??? because i have no idea how much they go for. thanks

--MAstermind--

I would have to agree. Remove all of the emissions, get an SAFCII, gut your cats, and install about three ground wires in the engine bay one from tranny to firewall, manifold to strut tower and block to strut tower. Use opposite strut towers of course. The car should never give you a headache. guting your cats is some times necessary if the get clogged.

Good running FC, are we talking S4 or S5? Are we talking turbo or not? Wide range of prices to cover there. I'd say anywhere between 2,000 to 7,000 or 8,000 depending on how good, mileage, turbo or not, etc. etc. Too many variables for us to tell you how much a good running one costs.

v6er

lol i dont really know the difference between s4 or s5. i can sell stang for 5-6k or so and spend another 2k on top of that.

Leak?

I got my '89 base model for $1500 from someone that didn't know much about cars. It was bearly run, only 73000 miles and it has no dents or anything. So if you look around you can find one for a great price. just don't rush into it.

lol there's a guy on pt forums with a V6 stang that would make you haters cry like the babies you are.

7s are great, so are stangs.

for $8k you can get an automatic, but running FD or a REALLY nice S5 TII.

I guess it takes a V6 to be humble. I'd be more shocked if the oodles of GT owners that get spanked by us posted.

No shame in that loss, but you might want to do a lot of research on the car before you buy one. A rotary tends to stress your wallet moreso than other similarly performing vehicles. An RX7 can be the greatest car ever, and at the same time be the biggest PITA ever depending on the circumstances. Take your time and pick the right one if you are set on getting an RX7.

If you have as much money as you say you do, buy a decent one (maybe good condition with high mileage) and rebuild the engine right off the bat.

You'll have much greater peace of mind if you know that everything's already been refreshed.

Or you can be like me, buy one (fd), pay a decent amount for it, and have the motor pop on you after 2 months, and then 5k later, your car is running again (still waiting for that "up and running" part though, but money is gone).

I love my car and it's not a financial problem, but thats still money I earned that just went to fixing the motor.

Some days I wish I would of bought an S5 TII and called it a day.
