ok engine build this Saturday from 11 am and on at my house.

 

I was trying to build my car up but just realized that the fram is twisted. I'm heated. Trying to look for a new shell

 

Wao dude im sorry for you. I be heated too.

 

What was the first thing I told you to do when you went to inspect the car!!

Damn man how bad is it? That sucks so bad Im sorry, but you are only out 800 for it, There will be another shell for cheap.

 

Found one in fl I'm pickin up next weekend

 

Sweet

 

You think you could help? Does anyone near savannah own a full trailer as it is just a shell and not a roller? If not I'm going to have to rent one but thought I would try asking

 

I can ask my buddys, I know I dont have a trailier...

Washing out cars today if you want to come

 

What time. I'd like to go remove the rear end today

 

Meeting up at 1200 at the wash place right off ranger joes exit

 

Carlos! Heard the bad news man! Sorry to hear, keep your down over there brotha!

 

Wtf!?

 

Explination?

 

Ok nothing happened to me. What Ian meant to say is that I’m going to the field for a couple of weeks and I won’t be able to build his car for the Dragon this year. When he is done with the Dragon then I will finish his car.

 

Anyone got a good FD oil pan gasket I can borrow to make a template out of?

 

Nope I dont, but I am sure somebody does.


Some pictures of what MoePwr and I picked up from GringoGrande in FL today. Nice little adventure with almost ripping down a McDonalds drive thru sign thanks to his awesome driving skills.

 

pore little fd,Needs a little tlc

 

Itll get there. Jon will treat her right.

 

Thanks for your help dan. That trip was definitely worth the drive. I removed the rearend on the "donor" fd yesterday. There was a weird canister thing near the fuel filter. Guy that was helping me said it might be for emmisions? Anyone know what it is? Anyway I already started putting in some of the little electronics in the engine bay. I can't wait to see this beast run. Oh by the way how can you tell if a motor is bridge ported or not cause mine sounds like it is. It sounded exactly like a half bridge port that I found on youtube... anyway I m so anxious to get this beast on the road. Thanks a lot gringo grande aka kevin

 

Pull the intake manifold and look down the runners in the engine block. You may need a dental mirror or something, but you should be able to see the ports, and the eyebrow if its a bridgeport.

 

I'll have to double check. Thanks for the reply. If anyone is free Monday I could use some help lift a couple shells around so I can start putting my fd together and I'll buy you lunch or beer

 

Ill try to get a ride over there man, but my FD drove out of the parking lot today which was a very sad day.

 

Depending on the time i might be able to help

 

Have always just used an Rtek 1.7 on my other car but was looking to go standalone and upgrade to 2.1 but was curious as to what the tuners around here use with dynos? I could probably do a basic tune w/ the 2.1 but is anyone really good around here w/ anything else that would make it worth getting a different standalone? End goals only probably ~325-350 RWHP w/ a BNR stage 3-4.

 

You can reach your goal with a Power FC, exhaust, injectors, and boost controller. Steve Kahn tuned a basically stock FD RX7 w/ power FC to 300whp. I was with the owner of BNR last summer in Atlanta and Brian says a good modded car in the stage range you are looking can hit 400whp if built right.

You can find good tuners in Orlando and Atlanta.


Kevin/Dan,
I actually saw yall trailering that car on Abercorn (I think that was where it was). It was late and I could barely recognize the poor thing!
