When is this gonna make it's debut?

 

damn.

 

Wow, would love to see that done and running....

 

looks like never

 

Awesome car!

 

Cant' wait to see this car in action. The RX7.com FD brings back fond memories of High School for me.

 

Agreed! I told Ari a while back If he ever sells that car to call me first. I love RP even though the website hasn't changed since I was in high school.

 

wow!!! would love to see Ari back in the drivers seat at the track..

 

you guys realize this thread was started in 2009 right?

 

Im a little late but that cars sweet!

 

i think ari is trying to save money to update his site, and he also has time to take pics on his fb

 

Chris is the one taking all the photos as far as I know.

 

ari never comes on here so he will never see any of this

 

The rx7 drag car is sitting in the shop at RP in Garland right now. Dave popped the hood and showed me the engine a few months ago when I was there.

 

The car & trailer are no longer at RP in Garland, not starting any gossip but Ari is no longer part of RP. I do not know anything else.

 

I guess they moved the car.

I was up there last week and Chris told me they split the business. Ari now runs RX7.com separately and sells parts and Chris is running the shop in garland. Not really gossip, just facts. Chris didn't seem to indicate any ill will and said business was booming.

 

We split the old Rotary Performance company late last year. There are now two separate businesses that are actually located in the same building.

It gets a little confusing sometimes, but we find a way to make it all work... Chris is running the operation at the front and I'm running the one at the rear of the building.

 

The old, heavy trailer had been sold but the car is still here... It got moved about 100 feet and is sitting, covered, in the corner of the warehouse for now. I hope that we can finish updating it and get it to a local event or two before the end of the 2015 season, we'll see.

We have another street car project in the works. I'm looking forward to getting it to the track in the near future. I'll get some more details posted after we get to make a couple of passes. It won't be a single digit car but will hopefully drive to the track and back home...

The 3/4 chassis car in the picture is slowly getting put together. It now has a full tube chassis and will hopefully be ready for the track next year. I'll post some updated pics soon with more details.


We've been getting some great turbo weather recently, I know that some haven't been so lucky... Best wishes for a great 2015 to everyone.

 

Thanks Ari, great to see you posting

 

Agreed, good to see you still around. I've been going through old threads and wondering who from the old days is still around.
