Yup, I wouldn't be me if I wasn't doing just that
Well, I figure I got 10hrs a day to work on everyone elses stuff and get paid for it. 4 hours to do my own stuff. I've got 300+ hours to get the 'vert done. That's 7 normal weeks.... it shouldn't take that long. The key is the discipline to spend the time EVERY night and one full day off on it. If I can do that, it shouldn't be a problem... but yeah... 62 days to build a car

However, who do you think built that awesome Motec Software you enjoy using all day? Wasn't a tuner... although I'm sure a tuner played a big part.

Yeah yeah yeah... don't take it personally,... you're one of the few I guess

Yeah, about that... I've had that car for over 2 years now... that will be a full rotisserie build, 20k in parts, full resto-mod THAT car will take me 2-3 years to do at the pace that I'm doing the 'vert Once the TTCoupe is back and running, I'll get the FD in my shop and up on the rotisserie and start plugging away. Once it's in primer, the undercarriage is done, and i've got all new bushing, toelinks, etc etc one and the arms are powdercoated, I'll bring her out to PA to start...

Yes, I am aware of 2. Atkins and RX7 specialties. Atkins have a tremendous break in period and don't have the same compression as the stocks... or so Dave has seen. RX7 Specialties warned us not to use them on used housings, they will wear them tremendously..... sooooo yeah. That seal broke becuase the plate touched. It the plate didn't touch, I didn't overrev it, we wouldn't be talking about it, I'd go back to stock.
