kirks5oh Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Great video, and driving. Sucks to see a car like that go down. A clean rx7 is definitely on my bucket list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Have you thought about trying to find a clean roller to drop your drivetrain in? I'm considering all options, it with decent rollers bringing $7-9k and shitty shells still bringing $3-5k it might be easier to find a working vehicle that I can verify condition and build it with my parts.

Smokey Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 A GT3 would be awesome, and everything I want...except having a car payment on my track car. Plus with 2 small kids and a house purchase looming on the horizon it's not smart for me to take on a big car payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 A GT3 would be awesome, and everything I want...except having a car payment on my track car. Plus with 2 small kids and a house purchase looming on the horizon it's not smart for me to take on a big car payment. Wouldn't be as fun to swap cars if they were both the same. Now if you want to get a GT3 RS I won't object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'd get a sweet 964 but I think they're too slow as track cars unfortunately. Still love them but not for that purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'd get a sweet 964 but I think they're too slow as track cars unfortunately. Still love them but not for that purpose. +1 on 964s. Maybe an older E36 6-cyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Curiosity is getting to me. Gotta ask. Did you get any pics of the carnage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Clay, the BMWs I kicked around were an e46 M3 and 135i. Not really sold that either are a better fit for a track car for me despite being better street cars. Over the past 2 years Janky saw about 90% track miles and 10% street miles. I need to determine if that's more a function of a hectic track schedule and having 2 young kids or because I didn't want to drive it on the street. Yes, there are carnage pics, but I'm not posting them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'll post up carnage pics after I finalize with the insurance company. While I don't think the rear shock towers were bent, I have a hard time thinking anyone would be able to use the car again. You're welcome to have it for scrap value after I strip it to the bones.

Smokey Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 We'll have to come up with a new name for the white car. I'll upload my initial phone pics later. I suppose I need to put up the Janky death pics too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 How the car looks currently. Plan is to strip it to the bones by the end of July so I'll be busy. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z56/kutschca/BC21DA03-A13F-4747-909D-5B5F85581223_zpsxyfbgact.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Was the hood a save? Looks like a safe impact. Glad you're ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
