My new FC

need RX7 · 04-20-2009, 08:19 PM

Well, I did a comp test earlier, and I have 30 psi in the front rotor and 0 in the rear.

I guess I should have seen it coming, I was kind of pushing my luck thinking I'd be able to get an 82k mile rust free chassis with a good motor for $500. Anyone selling a rebuild kit and possibly some housings for less that retail?

I hate to perpetuate the stereotype of a 'broke, cheap-ass FC owner' but I'm pretty much boned for a while.

I guess it's kind of a blessing in disguise, since the engine bay is really dirty, and having the motor out will give me a chance to clean it out really nice. I don't really want to swap in my other motor, since it has 202k miles already.
