Ok I am in possession of the MID TENN region SCCA race car project.. It is a 1981 Rx-7 with the 12A, It currently is stock and will be built primarily for the track, I.E interior will be stripped, rollbar installed, strut bars, ect.. This car will be open for DONATING/ REGISTERED members (when that is availible) to use at local SCCA SANCTIONED EVENTS, be it time trial (drifting yet to be decided) or whatever.

The car currently has the following

Short Radiator
FMOC
5-speed
4 Barrel Carb..ect

The car is located in COLLEGE GROVE halfway between M-boro and Franklin... 18miles south of franklin..

Anyone who wants to put time of donate parts pertaining to the buildup of this car is more then welcome to. Chad And I (Trevor) have already started working on her, and are clearing out all the other 7's parts cars I had laying around to make room for the car.

PLans for the car-

7 way adjustable shocks/ lowering springs
Gsl-se sway bars
diamond racing (or similar) 15X10's with kuhmo race rubber
Front and back STRUT BARS
Removing ALL A/C components and anything unneeded under the hood
2nd gen directfire setup
Lots more

If you have any extra parts you feel we could use please send me an email
We are looking to buy performance parts too if they are SUPER deals... We need everything.

Thanks and keep checking back for updates as the build goes forward..

Things we are currently looking for:

2nd gen Ignition Coils
DUAL alternator belt pulley
Spare wheels
12A header (any brand)
2-3rd gen seats (hopefully 3rd cause they accomodate harnesses)
short shifter
Shift ****
Fuel cell
anyone who CAN WELD!!!

I have tons of parts and will trade parts for parts

 

Here are some pics I took just to give you an idea...

I had a spare header pannel, bumper, fender and headlight assembly so the car is ok body wise, except it needs a passenger fender if anyone has an extra.... (the one on there is dented pretty bad)

So here are the first of many!!!

I am thinking about a crazy paint color like ORANGE or something....well probably post a poll about it when the body is back together and I am ready to spray it...

 

sounds like the next meet to me... we could all do our part around a few beers or whatever... let me know what i can do to help...

 

If you and your team are willing to shell out the bucks, I'll sell my rims and tires.


15x8", Centerline IMSA wheels, Falken Azenis 205/50-15 (70% tread front, 30% tread rear)





Centerline appraised them @ $3,100... due to the fact that there were SEVEN sets made in 4x110.... EVER.


Make me a nice offer, and they're yours.

 

Jeebus Christmas thats alot of $$$... like 2X the worth of the car... cool rims though...

 

If you will selll them cheaper then a set of Diamond racing wheels lemme know
How much do they weigh?

 

Next weekend I am putting the body back together and stripping the interior, I had someone donate a set of used race rubber, they are 14" tires they came off a miata (kuhmo race rubber) so now all i need to do are find a set of 14" wheels..lol..

 

Trevor,
I am trying to buy that Mig welder, so when I get it we will be in business.
We can fab the strut bars instead of buying them.
If needed we can cut and weld an extra shifter also.

 

I have a set of 2nd gen coils.

We do need a header and a dual tube or 3" exhaust would be nice with no cats, just a muffler.
We need to pull the rad and oil cooler and have them flushed and the rad dipped.

 

Trevor, I have both a mig and a stick welder. The Mig is very portable and runs off 110v. I also have some spare 7 parts out in the shed. Not really sure whats out there but your welcome to it to. I do know there are no performance parts left. Just some stock stuff, radiator, 83 rear end minus 1 axle, springs, struts, etc.. Let me know if I can be of assistance. Charles

 

Thanks charles, I will be in contact with you..

I found a road/race racing beat header for $50! so i am going o pick that up...

I have a radiator I just had flushed so that'll prolly work...

 

Keep your eyes and ears open for a set of 14" wheels to fit that race rubber..

 

I worked a deal and am trading a set of taillights for the header!!! Budget racer is underway!!

 

what sixe wheels exactly? 4x110 or something like that? does width matter? etc?

 

The tires I got are for 14" wheel off a miata.... the wer2 on 14x6 but will fit others too, 4x110 is what we need... thanks for checking..

 

I found a set of 14" wheels!! yay.. $11.14 a peice at the j-yard.. They came of an Rx-4!! Sweetage! they aren't the "coolest style" but they are 14" the correct lug pattern and they are aluminum...

 

sweetness...

 

Chad just donated a perfectly good set of adjustable shocks for the front!! 5-way BABY!!!

 

If you put the GSL-SE spindles and hubs, then those 15's we spoke about could be yours.....

 

i almost said something earlier about that... those rims are sweet and they are lots wider... they look like 944 rims to me.. right DJ?

 

I thought you were keeping them...? Has that changed? If so I could buy some adapters and say screw the se conversion..lol.. unless you know where a conversion is.

 

NO, these are GSL-SE pattern, not the poopy 4X110 that the others have. I'll try to take some pics this week.

 

they are really cool, especially if given some care and maybe powdercoated, but they don't really need it... and they have a nice dish too... how much would a conversion be??

 

RRTEC think i could come by n check it out im heading out to tn next weekend cause im looking to move there near Newport think i could come by and help out in any way for the little time im there??? i have a local guy (used to be mine) TurboII that i sold him i think hes going to part it out if you guys want i can call him and see what hell do....
