Takes you back to a simpler time when con men worked at the carnival, not the White House.[/QUOTE]
You were doin so well Ray!! No trump comments in quite a while? I was really enjoying this thread and you spoiled it !!! Lol!!! I washed and waxed three black vehicles this past weekend.. I blew out my right elbow doing the Miyagi “wax on wax off”!!! Geesh!!!
It’s a pic of trumpster playing golf! It’s there, I see it! I just got back to looking at club threads. Sorry those three black vehicles never made it. The third is our 05 Sonata. Great car!! Detailed engine bay that day too.
Jeffrey's (now called 'Twisted Tavern') in Suwanee, 08-07-07, 7:00 pm (please notice all those 7's).
You 2nd gen kids can come, but free beer for those over 40, married, getting fat and know how to fix the cars. Here's who said they'd come:
Mike
Greg
Me
And a kid from out in the GA sticks who works at Jeffrey's (now called 'Twisted Tavern'), whose dad gave him one sweet 80 SA that he's now driving, when not on the bike. Nice Dad.
Anyway, the more 1st gen RX-7s the better, owners included.
Ray
I'm in Texas and late to this conversation but let's get it going.......talk to me somebody
Engine fire (ironically that's how I lost the last Porsche, but this one's fire wasn't as catastrophic). OOOOOHH Boy I can't wait to go get it next weekend.
And yes Ray the RX7 is up after this project is done.... Twin turbo's and all.

Reason: I was too harsh against that company.
Na, M96 is expensive and complex. Come on, I own an RX7 I like simple and cheap. lol
Also, the 4.3's accessories line up perfectly with the M96's accessories. All I really have to do is make adaptors to the fittings to get the A/C, power steering, and alternator to work.
The 350 or LS engines are too long (by about two cylinders) for the engine bay. This should be a relatively bolt up affair (famous last words).
I will have to weld up a "custom" oil pan, and obviously some motor mounts. But i'm stoked to go and pickup this new project.
I did think about doing a Honda 2.4 engine from an Accord (the one from like 2007 ish) and putting a blower on that. I don't know much about Honda outside of the motorcycle world.
I kind of want to do that just to raise hell amongst the Porsche people, but that truck engine just might twist the right amount of panties in the Porsche crowd.
Not nearly enough power. Unfortunately, it would cost a lot of money to get 400hp out of a rotary reliably. And its not like this is an RX7 where I can pull an engine for rebuild in 20min.
That's what's so wonderful about a sand rail with a rotary. Pull the engine in 4 bolts. Light weight enough so 150hp will push it along just fine.
If ever I was to put a rotary engine in something other than a Mazda car it'd be a sand rail.
Does anyone have an electronic distributor and/or ignitors for sale? Also, are there any strong opinions on the old '80 vs '81-'85 ignition setup question?
The 80 electronic ignition is suboptimal. You want to use the 81-85 dizzy which outputs a better signal. For ignitors and coils stock works ok but HEI ignitors and solid state coils (Ford or GM E coils work really well) in a DFIS setup is the hot ticket. Check out the link in my signature below for one how-to for a DFIS. There are many flavors out there.
James, a turboed 13B in that subaru would work. Ray is correct that porsche-o-files will sheet their pants when it braps braps up to the C&C. Of course that big V6 with a blower will also knock them for a loop as well. The key is to do it so you can't tell whats in there until the hood opens. That way they have to come around and look at it.
If you want to see something funny, just open the hood of my car at a C&C and watch the Ferrari guys look in there and shake their heads.
I bought a remanufactured one from Rock auto. Came with igniters. Cost about $220, but that seemed like the best deal I could find online. Thanks for following up!
