Need to know all I can find out about friends t88 rx7

I wanted to come over and ask a few questions since my friend just bought his new toy. I have owned two rx7's myself but, never a car setup like this one. I posted a video of us goofing off in it on another board and aparently a member from here knows the car. He claims it was someone from this boards old car his name was brian?

Its a silver 93 touring edition with a r1 lip and fiske FM'5s. Car is located in dallas,tx. He bought the car from lance at LA motorcars and we are having alot of trouble finding history on the car. Aparently the motor was built by mavel but, rotary did the turbo install and tuning.

We are chaising a electrical problem right now and I really just would like to find out anything I can about it. I will post pics up shortly but, I just wanted to know if anyone recently has sold a t88 93 FD in my area in the past 5-6 weeks. Its prolly this car if you know anything about it please post up.

Here is a small video I did for him a couple of weeks ago. Maybe some of you guys will hopefully recognize the car and be able to post any info.

wow okay a search pulled up a TON of info about the car. I even have the original owners # along with dates of work being done. I really found out alot of history about the car.

I guess a bad business deal forced him to sell his baby. I feel horrible for him. Hopefully he is still on here and can know the new owner is taking care of the car and loves it!

Thankyou so much for the help guys. Thats what I wanted to know.

your car is sick man. I cant wait to see it run.

Any ideas on why stephen would be having oil come outta his blow off valve?

the car is way down on power....we should of beaten chris(slowsrt) without much trouble...instead he won most of the races.

hmm... Possibly the turbo has blown the seals and oil is shooting into the pipes?
If the turbo has done that, I see the turbo having blow-by and it would then not make as much power.
