Oh hey, I just got the SCCA magazine in the mail. It's got two FD's on the front. Anyone else get that? They sent me a thing with a registration form. They want ma money. It says they have a "first gear" membership for anyone 24 and under for 45 bucks. I probably won't do that this year, but maybe I'll join next year since I'll be right at the limit.

 

iv got it straped down but im using one of thouse black plastic boxes from autop zone. and i dont think that counts as beeing sealed becasue that would be one of thouse nhra metal boxes

 

You'll probably have to find the SCCA rule book. I'd link you but I couldn't find it on any of their sites. I know I've seen it before... there was a whole section on that stuff. I'm pretty sure it has to be a sealed box though, unless you get a dry cell.

 

blah hell then i cant run on da 4th

 

That sucks. You could still try to scoot by if it's tied down, perhaps. Better yet, just hide the damn thing and hope they don't find it. Tell them rotary engines don't need a battery, ha!

 

i found the rule book it says that they must be in a marine container or equivelent non conductive and have a insulated positive terminal.

does my plastic box count as a marine non conductive container or equivelent?

 

and if cody gets his t2 motor i think we should both help put it in so he can run it at the autox that would be sweet


and if all else comes to fail there atr the autox i can just bring some tools and put the thiung back into the engine bay but im gonna have to find a way to tie it down. do bungie cords count??? hahhaha

 

Hey man I was the vert.. don't be hating it's still an rx-7.

 

Is your battery box completely enclosed? If so it might pass. It's worth a shot at least. If you want to put it back in the stock spot, you need the plastic undertray and you can tie it down with a $4 tiedown from Autozone. Bungees aren't allowed.

Who's hatin' on the vert Yeti? I've driven that thing on the Dragon, I rather like it.

I saw an FC in Maryville tonight... it had a big *** park bench on it! I didn't get a very good look at it because it was dark and I couldn't stop staring at that enormous wing.

 

WAIT wtf were YOU doing in maryville hmm?

 

Pfft, what am I always doing in Maryville Derrick?

 

nah it was toward louie i always honk at him my dad works at grayson so im always by there so i honk and he never sees or hears me. i hope i get it in soon. the plastic one is a marine box itll work but if ya wanna make sure i cant link at work but if you go to etrssca then to the solo 2 handbook itll have all that in there.

 

lol very true liz, but next time call me when you go up the damn mountain fool.

But guess what boys....i got a vert today for cheaper than what cody bought his base model for AND IT RUNS!
I even have a set of mint BBS centercaps for it too.

 

Haha... Jesus H. Christ, when I saw that picture I thought you'd rattlecanned Hellbent's vert and I was gonna have to shoot you. Sweet deal man, give us the details. Details like why you still have money to spend on things.

 

Yep thats what I paid its a sweet deal . Oh I got me a helmet yesterday to its got a cool design on it and says "session" on the back . Nice eh???? Cody seen it yesterday if He can remember .....CHUG CHUG CHUG !!!!!!!!!

 

Well as you can tell its not hellbents as the taillights are S4, the wheels are 195's not 205's, the top isnt ripped and not dings/dents/scratches besides some minor front dmg that is easily fixed.

Picked it up for about 200ish, needs interior bits like carpet and door panels and such, but deflooded it and smacked the started a bit and she fired up for the trip from Topside Drive back to hellbents. Motor's all stock minus what appears to be a 3in straight-pipe off the stock manifold to the ypipe. All she needs is a starter, interior, and to replace the injectors for nonleaky ones that flow right and a tune-up/belts.

Ive not even cleaned it out yet or hosed it off... gonna go do that in a bit as I think about selling it to hellbent minus its wheels...

Oh and more pics are up on the "other" forum btw.

 

next thing ya know j ima be stealing your stash!!!!!!! yea yea derek rub it in rub it in but ive got a clean shell atleast and theres nothing ill have to replace on it once i get the other motor in(knock on wood)

 

You say that now, but a month or so down the road you wont lol.

 

heck thats a good deal 200 for a vert that atleast starts

hey cody so u are buying that t2 and puting it in your gtu? and puting the gtu motor in the base?

 

hes doing it backwards, leaving his gtu alone and doing the swap to the base.

 

oh okay i never quit got it cause now he has i guess 2 cars and 3 motors

but hey iv got mine all bolted up all i have to do is put the oilcooler in which is a pin in the *** i cant get the thing to go in the right spot.

and put the tb on after i do emmisions removal and make a acv blockoff and omp block off its i guess 90 percent done. took forever becasue ithe harness runs onder the middle intake and i couldnt get it off so i decided to just cut the haress and wire it back together little did i know that it ah=d like 60 friggen wires in it

 

Lol yeah harness's are a **** when you go a cuttin things.

But as I understand it Cody has two fc's and the base may oor may not run to begin with so he 'wants' to attemppt a T2 swap

 

Cody, I don't mean to ignore your honks as you pass by the shop.. It may be you doing that, but every time I hear a beep I assume someone is about to get hit. You gotta catch me when I'm staring out the shop window!
And Derick, why you posting more pics up on the other forum and not this one? We love you more, I see how it is.....

MFiend.

Watch out for the mole

 

i got the harness wired back together but there were like 6 wires that were all the same color i took my best guess ill see when i try to start it. if not i know where the problem is

 

Where's the Beer At!?
