well, not to bring you guy off topic, but this will proly be the last 7 meet im going to, so where we gunna have it?! what time? who all is going? and anyone want to buy an 87 na with a **** load of miles?

 

hmm good idea braden. i know if its around the 2 pm ish area, ill still probably be busy at work. *its payday weekend on the airforce base so tips are reasonably higher* but jamin or masin, ill give either of u2 a call to see whats up. and hopefully we'll get pictures this time. my camera works again!

 

im hoping to get my freind cody to comeand have himdrive insteadof havemy dad come. codys not as restrictive on who he drives. plus it will be fun to watch him slam on the brakes. (he drives a 1969 C10 chevy pickup with a 350 swap, no power brakes,no poersteering, a 3 spd manua, oh and his steering wheel is smaller than my RX-7s

 

why is it your last meet?

 

he's selling his car.

 

well thats what i meant, why is he getting rid of his car?

 

i just got my second reckless driving ticket, i cant afford the 7 anymore looking to sell or trade.

 

yikes. time to buy a 1978 volvo 240 diesel! you can barely go the speed limit in one of those!

 

we had a Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon and i will tell you this never undersetmate a Volvo wagon they can be some beasts of a car. are 740 could smoke a Mustang 5.0

 

BS!!!!

 

an 89 turbo wagon is nojoke man.

unfortenetly the thing is now in the family junkyard. the engine is trashed.

if you don't want to beleive me then dont but facts are facts.our 1989 Volvo 740n Turbo Intercooler Wagon smoked my aunts 1986 mFord Mustang 5.0 GT Hatch.

 

the only fast volvo i know of is the 850R, the 5speed model... and i think there were like 100 made of that. haha.

 

my friend had an auto one. it was okay, u could hear the bov.


hey kenneth, whats the power and weight output of that tho? i know someone with one and it looks like a beeater car, and sounds horrible when exhausts are rusted thru.

 

sedan version... in the vomit yellow they come in = Raw!

 

im not sure all i know is is was Bought over in sweden when my parents where visiting there and than they had is shipped over. so is the euro market version. blue with the 5 spoke Aluminum wheels (Euro Market Turbo Intercooler only Option) and when the turbo hit is hit big.

im thinking about trying to get it back up and going as more of a dayly driver and also act as a taxi for my freinds to school in the morning. for a fee of course

 

wait 5 spds were only made it yellow?

 

no they had black, white, yellow, red and dark green... thats the only other ones that i know of

 

we got toby's new FC running today!! its a charcoal primered 87 GXL with LSD... he found it sitting in a junkyard a few weeks ago

All it needed to get it started was a gas tank flush and a new fuel pump. it started right up, then we found out the trailing coil was broken and it needs a new alternator, and the brakes dont work, as well as teh clutch, lol but i htink its still a decent find

it smoked like a bitch, clouded the neighbor hood behind our house with smoke, lol hopefully it was just the ATF burning off. tomorrow we're going to try to figure out why the brakes wont bleed, maybe a bad master cylinder?

i love resurrecting junk FC's!! haha

 

there were a lot more than 100 850R's made. but you forget the fastest volvo there is. the S60R!

but the 740 turbo and the 240 diesel are two completely different beasts. in a 240 diesel it takes about 2 hours to get to 60!

 

it was extreme sarchasm... finding anyone cruising around in an 850R in the upstate is rare... but a 5speed 850R is even more hard to come by. yeah i forgot the S60R but i dont like those volvo's much. im attracted to the older body styles when it comes to cars. from early 90's to mid 90's in any make or model.

anywho, looks like the conditions so far for skiing are going to suck ***. not saying for sure but its looking better for my attendance @ the meet this round. later fellas.

Hey guys, Just got back from vacations. FD is still sitting in my garage until i get enough money to get it to rx7world. So in short, it will be MANY MANY months before i make it to a meet. All signs indicate compression loss.......I never thought the headache would start so soooon.........

you actually managed to beat my rocord I bought myne and the motor blew after 6 weeks of me driving it.

 

try one blowing 13 hours after signing titles. cant find anything cheaper for m insurance, thinking it will be in my best intrest tojust keep the 7, hell an AE86 was 75 more a month (no abs) i hate life sometimes.

 

the really weird thing about you (nelson) popping in and posting is that minda and i were talking about where the hell you were. hey, while ur having the motor rebuilt get it ported!!!
