I really hope it's not gone.. if so someone's gotta get me the contact info for the Pez Performance Vendor because I was just about to buy a mount kit that he was finishing up.

It is very unfortunate what has happened. There was/is some good information on the site so hopefully it comes back online. I'm sure there are several transactions taking place through the site that are going to be difficult to complete now. As mentioned above somewhere in this thread, the V8 swap book they published was absolutely worthless(especially for $45). I didn't have any one to warn me before I purchased it and really wish someone would have.

The book basically has a bunch of generic information cut and paste. Half the book is also uneeded information like talking about old engines no-one would ever use and a bunch of completed cars featured which helps in no-way with building one.

Let's just say it's about a $5 paperback that was sold for $45.

its funny when some people can't handle the criticism they just try to silence you. I will paste this to other forums as well. i do want to be fair as well though and i realize there are two sides to every story so if anyone else has another side to share to back up there claim i will post that as well to be fair.

You should ask James Smith (Co-owner of V8rx7forum with Brian) what his side of the story is too.

Wow! Just Wow! I've had quite a bit of family drama lately. So, I haven't been on the site. Now, I come back and try to find it. What do I find? Drama! Ugghhhh! I just don't get it. Sounds really, really fishy to me.

Yikes, just got home and went to get on V8rx7forum to look for some slicks on the classifieds... oh well, glad I found this thread, I signed up on the new site and was early enough to keep my unsername

I'm glad Blake stepped up, props to him. I wonder if there is any way to retrieve some of the old info from the forum - there were some great threads...

His book that he wrote about building a V8 rx7 is trash and it is not worth $45 its not even worth .45 cents. So if you are a member over there and wonder where everyone is going, they are getting booted off for voicing their opinions if they differ from the owners.
I had over 1000 posts, hosted two national get togethers in the form of SevenNotStock, and I attempted to contribute my car to the book.
Dont waste your time anymore on V8rx7forum.com check out LS1tech or just post here.

RIP V8Rx7forum officially died May 1, 2010!
why pay for **** if youporn and xvideos is free?????
