I applied to UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, and ECU. I got accepted to ECU today, so I'll definitely be attending college next year! I might end up applying to UNC-W and the University of Hawaii, but if I do, it won't be until late december. Chris, where are you applying/trying to go?

As far as majors, I've changed my mind quite a bit over the last few months. Right now I think I want to be either a pharmacist, an optomitrist, or own some kind of business.

PS: By any chance does anyone know of anyone selling a good 12a? I need one for my senior project.

 

Chris got a 13b for 20 for senior project, it has a blown apex, but it was cheap. Chris is trying for a&t, kind of ghetto, but thats were he's trying to go

 

I know theres an fb here in town for sale, but dont know how much

 

My sentiments exactly

Ren

 

Thank you for the help. If anyone is selling a 5 speed SA/FB/FC that needs some work PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me a PM, i need to have found a car before December 1.
-stephen

 

I cant help it that chris has had 700 post for 3 months, he never gets on here

 

stephen, i'll check out the fb for ya, I hope I can help ya out

 

awesome, thank you.
-stephen

 

no problem, I know it's a pain to get an engine/ rx7 period, so I'll help ya as much as possible. how much are you looking to spend??

 

My main thing is not to spend more on the car than its worth when everything is said and done. Bascially the car will essentially be perfect when I finish. Ive got a local bodyshop who's going to help me do the painting and body work, the owner of clean and fast said he would help me out, and ive got a few people that my parents know.

yeah, this fb has some driver side quarter panel damage, but thats all I know right now, do you just wan t an engine, or do you need the car too. a guy in hampstead has an fc for 1000 with full exhaust, and it runs, I want to get it(I'm only 14) and I hav like 700, but my parents prolly wouldnt let me. I hope I can help ya out, that fc is supposed to be pretty nice, but I cant get it, maybe I'll get some more info, and you can get it

 

I want to get an fc so bad, but my mom and dad wont let me yet. next summer(when I'm 15) I can get a job, and make enough to get a decent tII, like I'll have around 3,000 hopefully, every penny I have is being saved for my car. and the first day of tenth grade I can drive, which will be cool

 

I learn from Chris' m,istakes, like making f's is not a good idea, and I practice all of my car working skills on his car, so i can screw it up, not mine, LOL. and I've learned because he only had 400$ when he needed a car, and luckily my parents paid 800 for his car

 

Jerry at Clean and Fast has a FB with no engine for $350, so if i could find a 12a i would get that. If no 12a then that FC or that FB woudl interest me if you don't end up getting either one of them.

naa, i cant get em, but would about a 13b, it drops into an FB?? if I found one would you want it? I'll ask our friend Scott if he has another engine that he wants to get rid of

 

the FB i am looking at is an 83 which i think is before you could get them with 13bs. Does anyone on here have any idea if its an easy install?
-stephen

 

ya know joel, you sure are opinionate for your age. good luck in high school

 

LOL, I cant help it tht I know more about cars than your average 20 year old, LOL I thought a 13b was a drop in pretty much, thats what I've heard

 

doublepost

 

No offense intended, and I hope it works out for you, but be careful in your dealings with Clean and Fast. I have witnessed the results of some of their work, and it wasn't good. Not on my car, but a friend's.

Anyway, there are numerous problems with trying to get an FC engine to work in an FB bay. It can be done, but it is far easier to find a GSL-SE style 13B and drop that in (or get a GSL-SE to start with ). The main problems are the engine mounts. On the FC, they bolt to the sides of the center plate. Pre-FC rotaries have the engine mounts in the front housing, and I think in the rear as well.

ohh, I thought there was a way to drop it right in, but i wasnt sure

 

Clean and fast has always been good to me so im not worried about that. Thank you for the info ren, it is much appreciated.
-stephen

 

stephen you should come to UNCW, its awesome here, lots of fcs too! we need to get the rx7s in here raping all these ****** ricers everywhere!!

 

ren, i agree about clean and fast. i have heard mixed reviews. but like you, i cannot speak from personal experience.

and as for joel knowing more than msot 20 year olds......


good luck with the project stephen. don't bite off more than you can chew

 

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm really just trying to find a running car that needs a lot of cosmetic work done to it. I think that would be the easiest route to take.
-stephen

UNCW would be a lot of fun, i've filled out the application, just have submit it, pay the application fees, and send in my personal statement and transcript. (all of which i have) I want to hear back from carolina and state before i cost my parents another 50 dollars.
