**** the dragon! Especially the Tennessee side.
I'm never driving the Tennessee side during the daytime again.
Cops will give you a ticket for sneezing.
Too much traffic during the daytime anyway.

 

I went on the dragon this summer for the first time in a miata. I loved it. I honestly cant wait until I can take the rex up there

 

In Charleston area, looking to buy an Rx7 nothing nice, wanting a fixer upper. email me with what you got, Im not on the forums much. Dkrazy 9 gmail .com

 

Hey guys not from around there anymore.. has anyone heard from chris? he still has my 20b i hope.. either way hope everything is still going well for you guys just seeing how every one has been

 

Seems kind of dead around here to me. I've been home now for 3 months and have seen 2 Rx7's aside from mine. Unfortunately, it's never when I'm driving mine.

Seems like I hit a rash of unfortunate events recently with mine. She's not wanting to play well. Started out with a devastating water pump blowout on 11/16, followed by a massive fuel leak from an under-hood fuel pressure gauge last Friday, followed by a coolant leak from the lower radiator hose that same day.

Words of wisdom from Dad:
Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield...

But, I do have plans for a major overhaul of sorts. I'll be installing a centerforce stage 2 clutch to replace the over-powered stock TII clutch (which is dying a painful death), as well as FINALLY installing a legitimate S4 twin scroll manifold to hopefully reduce some turbo lag. I also have a new throttle cable, since the one I currently have is limiting the amount I can open the throttle body, and also I'll be going to 750/1600cc injectors, followed by a re-tune of the ECU. I may also revamp the intercooler and radiator design, and go back to a front mount instead of the current Vmount. Maybe...

 

Sabora, how many 3 rotors did he have? I ask because he's been selling 3 rotor parts. I know that he said that he owned the motor that was torn down in his shop a year or so ago... Hope it wasn't yours!

 

funny thing is its mine i let him borrow it for his shops benefit having one is a ******* .....rarity i told him on the strict process on which he borrowed it from me if he put it in a car i buy that car no one else is supposed to get the things from him that .......oooohhhhh some one better have his ******* number....if i finish my ******* car he tore to prices and couldnt get running worth ****.. it took me and a friend only 4 hours to troubleshoot ...still dealing with cutout though... he already owes me over 1k in money for my swap ive already paid fgor so this son of a bitch better not be selling my ****

 

Ok, Ive been holding out on this for a long time. But the story with your 20b has been on a nerve with me. In other words it pisses me off.

Sorry to tell you but I think your screwed.

As I type this I'm trying to hold back the things I want to say about Chris, because #1 he never fucked me over, & #2 its not my nature to tell someone off.

The story with your 20b:
As far as I know you let Chris rebuild? your 20b. I put a ? mark there cause I was there when he tore it down. Although I didn't pay much attention, did it have bad water seals? Did you want to beef the motor up with porting &/or seals?
So after that, Oh God! Chris ported your 20b. The reason I say that is because he cant port. He's not to good at that. There's proof.
So basically he turned your 20b into a paper weight.
He hasn't continued with the rebuild because he claimed he needed you to pay him??
So he hung onto them for a while.
Then we hear this news about him selling 20b parts. Yours? Who knows.

There's a lot more I can say about Chris. But I'm feeling kind of charitable. But maybe some other time ill lay into him.

I'm not sure if hes still into the rotary business. But if he is, Do Not do business with him!

 

so first i paid him to put it in the car....ahead of time in the process of me buying the 12k in parts i needed to finish and build it comfortably...and at the time i was in a some stupid bs with the air force at the time... so moving back home i let him hold it...oh btw i paid for that porting job as well as a rebuild on a motor...oh and bought the current motor from ron which im still grateful for..not to mention the fact i did pay him a good chunk of change to swap the **** motor in my na with the good one..this man has received plenty of my money and generosity in time and effort. not to say hes a bad man but that does not dismiss the fact that the things he has are mine and were under verbal contract to be held until i returned for them ..that was it... no question... nothing.. includes said greddy three row inter-cooler kit koyo n flow radiator man i could continue this list of things i left in his care for his benifit ...even to see if he could get his seven running...hell i was letting him use my t2 trans i was using for the 20b swap

 

https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/..._2937534_n.jpg besides being together in one of my cars at one time i wanted to port it and build it from the bottom up...for chris to even say its ran before in his add is a bunch of bs...he wouldnt know unless he was the jdm shop that bought it for me...the 20b is in the grey car in my profile picture

 

iirc, the na FC you had, had a blown motor, hence the swap you mentioned. Well I don't think he ever got that one running, I think it even caught fire once.

As far as his FC goes, he actually did get that one running, with the help of my brothers tune that Chris claimed was his tune.
But a few miles after, it ate a side seal, probably due to his porting.

 

ok so what he got it running after he lost contact with me ..great good job..and the fc didn't run until now after i had put a lot more money into to fix his **** ups..i got it running if you remember i had him build a piece that didnt work and then i bought rons motor out of his vert which by the way runs because i drove it to my friends yesterday...fuel cut...at 3800-4000 grounds or secondaries...but yes he tried and tried still failed ....but the swap i mentioned i had paid ahead for the 20b and paid him separate from the 13b build and swap...how are you going to really try and tell me how my money swapped hands and what i paid for....defending someone with shotty work sounds reasonable if he couldnt do it in the first place then he should have told me regardless of the bad decisions i have made business wise it does not change the fact he sold something that doesn't belong to him...which is a problem you still havent addressed...

 

Can anyone recommend a good body shop in the Greenville area?

 

BAH post:
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and I wish you a Happy New Year.

 

'85 GSL SE. In Greenville. Bone stock.

 

Greenville, huh? What color?

 

Its this turquoise looking color. I don't know what its called though. I'm getting it detailed right now so the color will look better later.

 

All these peeps popping up in the upstate.

 

Just picked up a NC FD last week and brought it back to Greenville as well! Seems there are quite a few here

 

yep

 

I'm still here too

 

once the weather improves some what and I get some free time will need to organize a meet like the good old days.

 

I still haven't seen an FD in Greenville besides mine, only a few FB and FCs. I would definitely be down for an area meetup.

 

Monkey, are you the black FD I've seen in Greenville? And I'd definitely be down for a Greenville meet, I work with a couple FC guys who would be too

 

Heck yeah id be in for a greenville meet in my sa. Who has the black fd near furman that looks like the batmobile? That car is awsome! Also I've. Seen a red stock looking fd on e north st. And I keep seeing a 79 going down 291 almost every day around 430
