Sunday Fundays leading to DGRR, here's what we have going on.

install new fuel pump
repair rusted trunk seal lip
modify exhaust for 13B
bleed brakes
Hope for the best, expect the worst

Sweet, may stop by for these and offer a helping hand since I'm mostly ready for the trip.

crunch time

Nobody likes a bragger.....

Well I do have a few things to do on the checklist but nothing major.

There is some serious motivation to get the Cosmo to DGRR this year. As of today, there is at least one of the each registered:
RX-2
RX-3
RX-4 (2)
RX-5 (mine)
REPU

Plus all the 7's and 8's.

Body shop screwed me. Basically told me that they decided to put some contract work before my car at the last minute, and they can't get to my car till September. He even said it with a kind of smirk... I wanted to punch him in the face.

So the 8 goes as is with paint pealing and without my new body panels. Sad times... Just have to get the breaks flushed and bled, and the transmission swapped, and I guess that's all that's getting done for this year.

I think next year it's going to need a new motor... it's feeling a little sluggish...

Who cares.

Harlequin RX-8 FTW.

You been watching 7 deadly?

Could just plasti-dip it...

No idea what you're talking about. Was referring to the Harlequin VW Golf from the mid 90's.

True.

Oh I was talking about this:

1993 twin turbo FD RX7 $8500
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/5488127095.html

Find a nicer one Kyle take time get one you won't want to Murder.

Although there is lots of potential for many beers and friends around those parts so it might be a great idea to find a project.

I guess those are my thoughts.

I mean it seems like the only thing wrong besides some body stuff is just the sequentials.... Which would be on the list to covert anyway. Am I crazy? The body doesn't bother me much because I can fix it.

Not bad. Kannapolis, NC. Isn't that Rotorsport?

Just sad how 'little' $8500 gets you with an FD :sigh:

I'm not sure. I emailed asking what shop they were and just a little about the history of the car. Isn't it a relatively easy job to convert the turbos to non sequential? I'm really not too concerned with the paint and body at this point. I'm pretty sure I can find headlight covers and a fender for cheap. The only bad thing with the body I see is the big dent in the drivers rear quarter.

I am in the process on non-sequentialing my FD. Followed Landers write up which is pretty straight forward.

Tell me about it...

This just seems like a decent deal considering that other than the sequentials control part of the turbos is not working properly it runs and drives well(according to the post). So if I waited for a nicer one id essentially be paying twice as much for the car with nice paint and probably 100k+ miles on the engine

Your going to put twice as much into it after paint, body and getting it to run right. Same cost overall

But Kyle can do all his own body work, so there's that.

I wouldn't hesitate too long. If the bones are good, and interior is good then it will sell QUICK. Remember, most guys don't leave the body stock, so they don't care about faded paint and shit.

PS- the wheels look :gay:

Noooo, don't buy it! If anyone sees me in Kannapolis this weekend... it just coincidence. :leaving:

Not a bad price for the market, but it all depends on your end goal. FD part prices are so high that taking a rougher car and making it pretty isnt that great of a plan. I have accepted that my FD won't be pretty

Making it pretty isn't my concern so soon. My main concern is that it runs and is mechanically sound. I've attached the email Bryan sent back to me. Yes it's Rotorsports. I'm really hoping I can convince my wife. I feel way better about it know that it's a reputable shop selling it.

DJ I agree the wheels look like butthole. But I can find some stockers I'm sure. I see them on CL all the time.

Driver's fender also looks wrinkled.

In this FD's defense, JK's FD was pretty gnarly when he got it, now it's pretty slick.

Still and FD, but I guess acceptable.

Not all of us have JK money though...

You've got a law degree. Get lawyering!!! (not a real word)

I am, but student loans suck big hair ones.

Naw not crazy. it's not a bd deal. has all of the interior which is a plus.

I agree. that's what I used

Yea it's stupid ho much stuff is for a fd.

Lolz. I'm just lucky to have friends, family and father in law that will help me with the car.

Well someone has apparently already said they were putting a deposit down. Bryan said he'd let me know but I don't have much hope.
