I'm the batmobile, it has been out of commission since about July though. Gotta love rotary engine problems! Combustion pressure going into coolant system. Hope to have it up and running soon but I keep spending my money on my motorcycle.

I would suggest waiting a month or so before really planing anything involving outdoor activities since it seems to snow up in the mountains on a no time notice. I am still waiting for some minor issues to get worked out on my FD. As far as the LS powered FDs in the gville area go theres a guy in greenwood that does the v8 swaps in them does incredible work as far as everything working like factory great dude.

Cars and coffee upstate was pretty legit, my FD and my buddies FC were the only 7's there, but definitely got a ton of looks. Was cool to meet the owners of all the cool cars ive seen randomly around Greenville over the last 2 years, we should have a meet up for one once it warms up for sure

My FD is still in the shop getting stuff sorted out from where some "Experts" put the engine in and fucked a bunch of stuff up. Hope to make the next cars and coffee.

rather not say online. lets just say I am at a point of pulling the motor out stripping everything off of it and starting over. everywhere we look there is something else half assed vacuum leaks everywhere sensor not hooked up IMPORTANT ones. Like one of the injector clips was replaced with a new one and when they put the new one on they didnt solder it or insulate so the two wires were touching together. I am many hours into this and there is no end in sight.

bin doing fairly well, cant exactly complain too much well I could but have learned that doesn't do any dam good. This FD was to replace the last one that I had to sell due to financial and family issues. Finally get into a position where I could allow myself to purchase another one looked for a long while for a low mile clean example. Found this one everything seemed great on it 95 low miles fresh rebuilt motor and a good price. Should have known it was too good to be true. So far we have replaced the turbos that failed on the drive back after I picked it up, fixing the wiring issues plumbing issues and keep finding other stuff seems no end in sight. We found a sensor that has gone bad and it should come in tomorrow, the car is running retarded rich bin chasing that for 2 months now we hope that it might be the culprit.
