You said you would never buy a car and mentioned gas mileage. Enter the Geo Metro Convertible. I have a weird sense of humor I believe haha.

EDIT: 2 First page posts in 1 day? MADNESS

Double EDIT: Dave I have some OGTA cards that you can have.

 

No, we would disown you How come you're thinking about selling it?

 

The site is going down for maintenance pretty soon so I wanted to move this onto the current page before it's too late:

 

I heard they were going to port the housings while they had it down. Maybe even a turbo.

 

I saw this pic and thought is was funny due to the camera angle. Looks like the one guy is holding up the ramp

 

Dibs?

 

Hey my cousin might have found an Rx7 he can afford.The guy says that it used to run fine but the carburetor is gummed up and needs a rebuild. He also says we shouldn't drive it on the current tires due to them being really old. So my question is, would anyone be willing to let us borrow a stock nikkia and 4 wheels w/ tires to drive 3+ hours and pick up a 7? Once we get it back here the tires can be replaced and the current car rebuilt, but we'll need a good carb and some wheels w/ tires you'd trust for a 3 hour drive to transport the car. It's a GSL so they'd have to be 4X110

 

Would if I could man!

 

I've got nothing that is road worthy Chris, carbs need rebuild and all the tires are pretty beat.

 

Why not take the wheels from your car, and drive down in the mustang?

 

my tires are slick they been slick for months i just dont push it and they have been fine as for a carb i got one you can use its good

 

So I might get a mazdaspeed protege.....

 

Boinger



I've got a Protege5, nice car but every time I drive it I can't wait to get back in the 7. And it ain't the horsepower, it's the Zooom Zooom.

 

I have a set of Remington (big name in tires!) 185x70x13 that were on my car when I got it. They are mounted on the FB alloy rims. They are getting to be 10 years old, or so, but all still are holding air. They have plenty of tread.
My Nikki is as I took it off 4 or 5 years ago; 220,000 miles, complete on the manifold. But the car ran fine when I took it off.

Let me know.
I will be out of town Monday and Tuesday.

If you don't want Greg the Younger's Nikki and wheels Chris, I got dibs. I just love Nikki's and X wheels.

 

Greg I might need to get the carb from you, we're thinking about picking this car up on Sunday using Crit's idea of using my wheels to transport it. We're also thinking my carb, although it will run rich for a 12A, should support the 12A to a point where it is running somewhat if I throw my leanest jets in the carb. But if we get Greg's carb, my cousin could maybe borrow it for a little while(few weeks) until he can afford a newer Webber or a Sterling or something.

What do my cousin and I need to block off an OMP while we run premix? (because if we use my carb, it won't have oil injection bungs, my 13B is using the SE oil injectors)

EDIT: looking at RB's site, I'll need their 12A lower manifold to mount my upper manifold, so I might need that Nikki sometime this week.

 

I got wheels and tires if ya need em

 

Don't worry about the OMP. Just premix, pull the lines loose at the pump, and let it drip for a few hours. no biggie.

 

yeah, Collin, if I do sell it you have first dibs on buying it.

Unless of course someone wants to offer more $

 

Chris, I have set a wheels and tires you can use to get the car home. Let me know.

 

So today was slightly productive... I thought that guy was coming to get the 'vert so I decided to go ahead and pump up the tire on it, and that led to vaccuming out my car and then checking all the fluids and then polishing the FTP's and ****. He never came, but atleast it got me off my ***. Did I mention that that home depot job went down the toilet? They finally returned a call and said they couldn't fill their new hire's with hours, so I'm unemployed once again. Anyways, pictures!

 

this sounds like a car i went and looked at this past weekend for a friend that's wanting to get back into rotories.

 

judging by your location, it is that car. Are you picking it up? My cousin and I are hoping to get it Sunday, I'd hate to have to compete with an OGTA member to get it.

Also, awesome commercial.

Maybe, I'm driving up in your area Thursday night to pick up a Nikki from Greg (the younger) if you'd PM me your number I could call when I'm there and see if you'd be ok with me borrowing them. It would be easier to use stock wheels due to the stock tapered uni-lug style as apposed to having to use my wheel, studs, lugs, and lug washers.

 

Nice work Brett, I'll check with the awards committee to see if FC' are eligible for the Most Improved Trophy.

Chris if you are driving through Commerce you might want to stop and visit this guy:
