I have a 12a downdraft weber manifold, EFI Hardware 55-53-50mm weber ITB and a MS2 I was going to put in there but I will probably end up selling that intake setup for school funding.

Just a local community college as for some reason all my other credits (minus 3) would not transfer, so I get to go through the whole process all over again.

It does have your GSL rear end in it My problem is I end up doing a Ship of Theseus instead of just fixing what is wrong. Getting it up and running is on my list but I will toss that Holley carb before I even think of rebuilding that junk.

Thank you Ray. Coming from you that is a compliment. Ray, I was watching an old movie “Fail Safe” the other night and recalled that your dad had something to do with the Hustler’s shown in the film. )?) Beautiful aircraft.

Beautiful 5 letter. I am glad I am not rich or I would have an honest first gen collection.

Still kicking myself for not picking up that 82 LE that was in beautiful condition years back...

Sir, this is an rx7 forum, not facebook.
Take your unhinged ranting elsewhere.

If you want rants, turn on your TV and listen to Trump.

He's ranting right now. He's a madman.
First, this is a public forum, not your personal soap box.
Secondly, to your own point, you're in the SE region section of the RX7club. Not the SE section of political rants. So, you're not even on topic yourself.
Admins deleted the Political off-topic section for this reason, because it doesn't add any value here.

local to me. it was originally listed for 12k, down to 8200. in lexington sc. 39k miles.

well never mind. seems linking to a FB ad isn't allowed. when posting link to ad it shows here the ad is no longer available. even tried to link to the search i did and still nothing. there's also a red 1950 mgtd in inman. 21k down from 24k. 76k miles.

Drop one of those off with me; I'll do an EV swap for ya. I know you're into that kinda thing.

Me, I looked at one similar to that; I wanna swap in a Jag V12. I think that a V12 is in my near future, but it'll probably be a C3 with a V12.

my friend as you can see Ray is not only labeled “censored” but they may soon add “unhinged” to his colorful profile. Since 2007 it’s been “right of passage” with Ray.. not that he’s right or right leaning or right winged.. but he is uniquely.., uh … er … Ray!! So I’d just move on, move away, move to England, or buy a miata and join their club., they are far less prone to political content and they drive some pretty cool cars…and they call a project car “new gear shift ****” discussion forum….real cutting edge discussion platforms.. by they got no Ray.. boring..

Hey guys..I found a box with a heater core assembly out of a 85 GSL SE that I bought long ago and never installed in mine..it’s good.. I also have a 1984 Mazda RX7 Official Shop manual in good condition.. also a working distributor spark advance along with the special dielectric paste that goes with it. Any fair offer for one or all will be appreciated. If not I’ll throw em all on marketplace and see where it goes.. thanx guys

Paul, Ray has always been one heck of a great guy and I've always liked him. He has been a staple on the forum for so many years and his restoration threads are great and super informative. The issue is that this thread has turned away from the meets and the car and is now getting the attention of the admin staff for the political postings. Multiple people are reporting his posts because they don't like the political stuff being thrown in. We get away from the purpose of this thread and this forum when we allow political statements to be added into the mix of posts. I just think what people are saying is that Ray is a well respected member of this club, but the political statements that he is making are upsetting a lot of people. People don't want to see political posts in a car forum, simple ad that. Another reason the political section was wiped out. This thread is popular and has been for a number of years. I dont know of another thread that has over 800 pages. Politics and religion are two things that when talked about in mixed company, will cause all sorts of debates and arguments. We just don't want to go down that road and have to close this thread. I'm the last person that wants this thread closed, especially over something trivial that can be fixed so easily. Ray is very well liked and respected, but to respect other members, all we ask is that he stays on topic with the awesome car stuff he posts about and leaves the politics elsewhere.

I just gave away a literal truck load of FB parts at DGRR this year. Its so hard to sell (or even give away) FB/SA parts. Its not that they aren't worth it, its just that the buyers are few and far between.

I ended up "donating" a lot of my parts to resellers that can rehome the good parts.
