As noted, the "free fox". http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20161115_215116333_HDR_1.jpg Let me tell you, this was sketchy- wish we had a video, but we pushed it off end over end-just kind of happened that way LOL http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20161116_172654221.jpg Yup, it was THAT rust free. Dont worry ford nuts, it was salvage title'd and there is still 972640 on the road http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20161116_181845983.jpg And, its done! http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20161116_181942125.jpg The Jury is still out on weather it will be better to do it this way, or just buy a cheap comp engineering 4 link kit, grab the welder and go to town. The jury is still out, but at minimum I got a good 8.8 out of the deal, and hell its hard to beat free.

Texas still IMO is the best place to look for a project car, or a solid truck you want to keep fro a few years. No rust-and just close enough to not be a bad trip to pick up a car.

With finishing the house, moving, work, and 2 young kids taking up most of my time, the Rx-7 got limited track use on the back half of the year. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20161010_092704952_HDR.jpg Any time I had to drive it I typlically hopped in, beat the piss out of it, and came home. The track events really sucked this year. Plauged with bad luck DSM shootout. Got ONE pass in 6 hours due to oil downs and rain. 14psi. 10.9 @145. 2.1 60 ft on the shake down. Turned it up, never made another pass. Track rental. Made ZERO full passes all day. First pass, my pinion snubber broke in the burnout box, and I grenaded the diff. I brought a spare diff with me. Installed it, and it was JUNK out of the box. Great!!! Another waste of a day. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20161009_133241319.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20161009_171143287.jpg So I caved and tossed a turbo II rear end back in the car which I have been avoiding because I know I will have to get back into 5th gear again. Rear end worked flawelssly on some test hits, and the car had enough steam to roll on a modded S1000 R with a 140lbs rider at only 17psi. Party time. So I make it to the last test and tune for the year at Norwalk. Of course there is a million people there. The first bad sign- I stoped for plugs at Vatozone and they were out of 7's. Mind you, I had NOT changed plugs all year so altough the car was running good, I wanted a freash set to go after that 9. So test hit-car leaves good and easy. 1.6 60 foot click high boost set at 20psi in 3rd, and car breaks up. Try and pedal the boost down, and it breaks up in all of 4th, and 5th. OYE. Let of, fucking thing ran a 10.1@13x. Seriously FML. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20161009_112837798_HDR.jpg Take the time to change plugs, and get back in line. 4 hours later then when I get there, and it starts to F'in drizzle. STOP IT. gets rained out!!! So in the weeks after I drove the car to work a few times, and took it to a few car shows. Had some friends over and took it to get some Pizza. It was about 40 deg out and it was just a spin fest to 180mph with 25psi. On the way home, the motor developed a tick. I noticed the oil pressure a little low, so I hung it up for the year. Once I get the garage set up, I'll dive in and see what, if anything, happened. I think it may be time for a rear end upgrade though, because the car depseratly needs a 3.27 gear.

Slow with updates as this has been low ont he priority list! So far, I found a bad switch connection keeping it from turning over. Fixed- so we got it to crank. Tried to put gas in it, and the tank/hose was bad. Lukliy they had a Gvr-4 tank otuside (the shop its at has 3 Gvr-4s) swapped in new tank, added gas, and tried to start. No NOID. Fugured bad ecu. Swaped in a spare and it FIRED RIGHT UP! Idles great. Current issues before any test drive can be attempted. Clutch wont diengauge. Thinking a hydrolic issues Brake leak. Only one so far Rear PS leak-I will cap all that off. Brakes even work?? But hey, progress is progress.

Mine was 3 year/36k for an AWD RAv. Absolutly nothing down $270/mo with the additional damage coverage. As an update-did the pre-inespection, damage estame was $800, guy said I 100% wont be charged. The lease was great-but like anything rented its a watse of money unless someone else is paying for it! Bought a loaded 2011 town and county for 11k. Thanks to Jordan at JET for confirming it was the deal of the year

SWOLE IS THE GOAL SIZE IS THE PRIZE

Rick Steves is a boss.

I think the "bar" is an associates or better college degree. I however am just looking at the map, and know that the 95% of America's land mass that is rural is not populated by the simple white Folk of America. There is nothing wrong with that- it just is what it is. Will you release your tax returns?

Here is the thing-Obamacare was an attempt to fix a the overzealous giant that is our medical system. It failed, because it was not a top-down strategy. It tried to find a way to pay the absolutely insane fees charged by drug fees and health providers when the only way to reduce cost is to, well REDUCE THE COST. Insurance, cost of drugs, cost of care, its all way the fuck out of hand If you had a 6 figure check to stroke come tax time, and you paid 40% during the year, can I assume your taxable income is in the 2-3 Million range? Here is the thing, do you genuinely feel that your services are worth that? Does it make sense to pay that when the same treatment or better in most first world countries for substantially less? I mean fucked the 2nd best Hospital system in the world is in Fucking Thailland. Do you think the same the "hard working Americana" that just elected Trump should owe you his YEARS salary to get an aliment fixed? Yes, your school is expensive (that part of the problem too) But US doctors make substantially more than any other country. http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/15/how-much-do-doctors-in-other-countries-make/ Obamacare failed because it did not address the problem, just tired to find a way to pay for it. Lets see what Trump does with it.

Hillary was about the worst pick for the Dem's. They fucked that up. But, if you cant look at this map and see that RURAL AMERICA got trump in office, your either blind or stupid. If you cant open a book, or just take a drive and see that RURAL AMERICA is full of fairly uneducated white folk, your either blind or stupid. 2+2 still equals 4. They were both horrid fucking picks though, we were fucked either way.

I'd def look up the court case and take a half day when this guy is in court. See his face, but the fear of god in this motherfucker. If someone did this to my wife (obviously recklessly) I'd lose my shit.

Honestly there have been guys out multiple times a week for the last few months. Pretty nutty. I will let you know when a big 'to do' is happening tho

New SS does have some sick, distinctive styling.

Like EVERY single car at SEMA, EVERY power/performace claim is overtstated. This thing did not, and likley never will see 220mph. It did not make 2k anything on a dyno. We have done turbo kits for SEMA cars with 35r's that would go to Sema and claim 1200+HP. Hell, if you are there the last day to see/help people pack up, you will see 90% of the cars there dont run at all, or run like utter dog shit. Cool project non the less.

The real question-taking it back to Mid Ohio?

I'd hit it

Florida has a sigma for beign filled with bath salt eating wierdos for a reason. Like visiting Florida, could not see myself living anywhere I had visited Long term (besdes the Keys) unless I was retired, and I have spent a week in basically every part of the state. Pros and Cons to everything

Depends what I am doing. To raise a family, I'm pretty happy here. If I was to be single forever, Vegas Rich and single, Ibiza. Retire Rich, Bali/Hawaii. Retire as planned, Gulf shores Alabama. No income tax for the retires, best beaches in the country, untra low cost of living.

Im in at 6k :masturboy:

Great event idea. Reach out to me in advance and I will get a crew from CLE down there

You will have to priovide updates then LOL. On my end, I have been focused on finishing the basement, and adding a side/back pad for toy storage. Now that all of my spare junk is on one place, I can see that I really need a shed! I cant get all the stuff up and off the floor to coat the garge, and did not have the time to do it before the move unfortunatly. It has not been officially palced on the back burner.

You will only have issues with the Xm5 if you dont maintain it. It is better on every single level than the TBSS.

This makes me upset I didnt buy THIS http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topic=18048.0 I love my Rx-7, but this one was for sale at the same time, and I had the opportunity to pick it up at asking, but he would not budge on the price and would not take the 2001 civic I had on a trailer towing it to trade for the FC. The FC was picked up about an hour from where the FD was. Oh well.

How long ago did you turn it in? Did you do the pre turn-in inspection?

From what I read, you have NO notion you are being charged until you get the bill. Almost a bit of a bait and switch. 2k damage allowance seems excessive. I do remember when we picked it up that you are allowed "one scratch and once dent not larger than a credit card" but there is some "leniency". I don't like all the gray area in that statement.
