[QUOTE=ray green;12427812]Very pretty Carlos! I still got too many parts, come on up!

And don't you dare sell that SE, you will regret it for the rest of your life and go to Rotary Hell.

Along with Paul, he's

.....well the nightmares have stopped. And a simple walk to the garage is less than a heart break now. But, there will always be a sense of regret. It was the right choice for me now that the dust is settling in hindsight. Carlos that is one decision only you can make. And there is no turning back once it leaves. If you go there than I hope you get the same problem I had... a bidding war between two people with too much time and money on their hands.

This is a taste... my eyes are not dry when I took this pic. Ain’t gonna lie...one of hardest decisions I’ve made.

The nightmares won't begin for a few more weeks Paul.

The cash profits you realized are suppressing your fear.

But sometime soon you will wake in the middle of the night.

A rotary hum in your ears and the smell of Wankel exhaust permeating your brain.

And this image searing your very existence:

Martin, there's only one thing rarer than a 12A rotor housing in good shape.

And that's an 83 red dash.

Right now the car just sits for months on! I hardly go anywhere and even less drive that car. I am having second and third thoughts that is why I have not listed the car anywhere. The next couple of months will help with the decision. And if I get in it and drive I know I will want to keep it.
As far as Rotary hell and the nightmares of rotary humming, I have lived through that once before. First with my 76 RX4, then with both RX3SPs and most and definitely the hardest of all, my 76 REPU.

I completely understand. I drove mine for the first time in 3 or 4 months this weekend. I love driving it (when I do), but sometimes wonder why I keep it.

ok now I can say it. It’s All Tim’s fault I sold my 7. Back a few months ago he warned me of giving too much attention to the miata and ignoring the Rx7 in the same garage. It’s true I was and it actually caused me to start questioning keeping it due to lack of attention. Between August 2019 and July 20 I only put 362 miles on it. That is a sin. The car is 35 years young but was like an old thoroughbred sitting in the stall wasting away. It really did kind of get me started thinking it was time for a new owner. The bidding war didn’t make it any easier. Carlos if you drive it and change your mind so be it. But if you try to sell it put it on Facebook Rx7’s. I put mine on there and two guys went Bid crazy after it. I was the benefactor. It sold in two days. I had over a dozen serious inquiries.

I just messaged him. We shall see how it goes. He is in Georgia, which isn't to far from me.

Paul, you are a typical Republican. Only interested in your personal profits.

The Rotary Gods will be Angry.

Thanks for the link on the pick up truck Martin.

But I'm doubtful. Who would want a pick up truck when they could have an FB?

That's the same guy who has the REPU for sale that Carlos posted, it's a pretty cool RX3, I saw them both. The REPU not so much... it's got a LOT of rust...

Progress made

Finally got the 12a housing. Motor has been ported, but I've never seen a "Bridgeport" like this. Can't wait to get her back.

I like the way you color matched it with the GS, gonna be a pretty Wankel Mr. T.





And with gas prices still low that Mega Port is going to be a lot of fun.



You guys letting your FB's rot in the garage, get off your butts.

I've been driving the LE into Atlanta every day all week, 110 miles per day.

I85 all the way, 80 mph. Zoom Zoom Zoom.

Sweetest ride on earth. And stopping for gas is fun, everybody checks it out.

I had a guy today ask me if it was a V8.

I had a guy complement my "honda" the other day. SMH

I only drive about 18 miles a day. But I'm not a conservationist.

If you don't mind my asking, what is the name of the blue color paint? It will make a beautiful engine.

And the front cover?

That's going to be a pretty unit, I'm glad you found the housings.

James was your "honda" the SA or the Ghia?

The guy who thought I had a V8 in the LE was staring right at the 12A.

He figured with all those spark plug wires it must be a V8.
