Rally Pat

uh....what?

I am getting kind of tired of what it says under my name, how do I change it?

Alright, the van is sold now and I have $1500 to work with. I still dont know if I should buy this car or not.

SOLD! Time to buy an Autocross car.

bump, sale pending (Thank God)

SBC DSL here, no problems I have the middle level package, so thats 4 mb down, 1.5 up.

I heard the exact opposite. Something like the Farmers Alminac says it is supposed to be a brutal winter this year.

har har har

I am about to start an RX-7 project.

Dun dun dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun! *MacGyver theme* Ok, so, once I limp Wenkel's creation home, how do I fix this thing?

70 Datsun 240Z 80 Toyota Trueno/Levin 90 Subaru Impreza WRX

Hmm I forgot I had AAA. I might use that then. Thanks for the offer on towing.

I am not really sure, it is here in columbus somewhere.

LMAO! Well, at least there isnt nearly as much shit on the side I want to put the car in as there is on the other side. Yeah, we might be able to limp it home, but somehow I doubt it. The dude said that it overheats real fast. The thing I am happiest about is the fact that he agreed to wait till I get the Shaggin Wagon sold before I bought his. This much is for certain, that car will be mine.

Bump: Another update. I was able to talk him all the way down to $750 (haggling ftw), but he said that I needed to arrange for towing since the car overheats quickly once it is started. I need to sell the van first to the guy that wants it on The Autocross Forum ( http://www.autocrossforum.com), and then I am going to go get it from him. Can anyone help me out with towing?

A regular PC DVD drive should work just fine, you just have to use a certain brand. I forget which though, I think its some Hitachi or Toshiba model.

perhaps he is "still 2 hi". fuckin' stoners.

Rather ironically, this is EXACTLY what we were just talking about in American Government class. How the first amendment protects everything but threats against the government/president.

Amen, brother.

Yeah, I have glanced over at the RX-7 club forum and I see a lot of stuff there. I might even be able to find the car I am looking for there. I still dont know about buying this guy's FC yet though. He said there was some spotted rust here and there, and the thing with the engine has me a bit worried for getting it home at least. I also found the site I would use if I were going to go ahead with an LT1 swap: http://www.grannysspeedshop.com/ They have weld-less bolt in engine kits that make sure everything fits in the right spot. Damn, this whole thing has me excited like you have no idea.

That site is cool, but I doubt that I could afford any of their work. I more of a DIY guy anyway. Anywhere I can save a buck or two on this project I am. I have started to draw out maps of how I am going to do this project. Its definately at least going to be a slow process. I want to start with getting the engine in it working fine so I can drive it everyday. Since it takes so little time to dissasemble a rotary, I dont think that will be a big issue. On top of this, I have tools. Lots of tools. Mostly metric because of my dad's misc Audi/VW Products he owned over the years. I am thinking that after I get the 13B all sorted out, I want to do suspension upgrades first so that I at least have something to run competatively for the next Auto-X season. Then when it comes time to put it away again, I will have already bought all the parts I need for whatever engine I settle on. I still dont know for sure if I am going to do the LT1 swap. Hell, I might even try to track down a TII and put that in. What it is all going to come down to is what mood I am in when the time for the engine modding starts.

I agree with whoever said that they thought these were going to have V8's in them. Thats all I have been hearing since the GT-R was announced....what...2, 3 years ago?

The only thing I could think about after having seen that is "Alright, now its time to start the second negotiation. Bike, you had the obvious advantage and victory on that last run."

Bump. A little update: I sent the guy an email asking for more pics and info, and that I wanted to know exactly what was wrong with it. BTW, My subject line said "About your FC" to which he replied "Are we talking about the same car?". But that is beside the point. He said he took it to Firestone, and they said that his engine had a " "cracked block" " I put that in double-double quotes intentionally. He said that it had failed a pressure test. Any comments or new car findings?
