Kevin Doe Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The time has come to think about another project car, so I'm listing up my immaculate RX-7. I really love the car, but I enjoy building cars so I'm already thinking about what my next project will be. The car is extremely well done, no shortcuts whatsoever. I take pride in doing good work and making things right the first time, even if its a part nobody will ever see. Its a visceral experience driving the car, and probably best explained as violent when driven hard. I'm not pressed to sell all, so low offers will not be considered whatsoever. If it sells great, if not, then I'll continue to enjoy it. 1993 RX-7 Touring Model 35,500 miles on car. 20,000 miles on engine/trans 12,000 miles on rear end Interior Original tan leather seats.

Kevin Doe Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 What year is your mustang? I have no clue about it. I'm likely not interested, I'm looking for something like either a cheap C5Z that I can mod to be a monster, or a C6Z and keep it retalively stock and tear people up at autox and track days.

dover Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Its an 2003 SVT Cobra, I mean I swapped an 8.8 in it but easily can have an IRS put back in it, Car with a smaller turbo would dominate in some AutoX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Wow, I just finished reading the two build threads. GREAT work. You never answered if the Dynomat really helped with the sound issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Doe Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The dynamat helped dramatically. It's still loud on the inside, but nowhere near the level of absurdity that it was before anything was done to kill the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Doe Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Oh, I forgot to add. The car weighs 2950 w/ 3/4 tank of gas, and w/o me. The car was 49.5 % front, and 50.5% rear, with perfect 50/50 crosses. For the drag guys, I ran on my Hoosier road race tires (not optimum) and ran an 11.333 my second time to the strip in this car.
