So I've had one of the guys that works for me start on the RX-7. After a year or so of it sitting and rotting :) We've installed all sorts of new suspension goodies, a roll cage, carbon hatch and new carbon hood. we're planning to make some molds of the rear bin covers and the door cup thing that always breaks and we're going to replace them with carbon as well. The fenders or the bumper may get replaced with carbon and the wing is being molded and redone in carbon in a couple weeks as well. Lots of carbon fiber but so far, the blue/black/carbon scheme seems to look pretty alright.

Whats up guys? I miss you...awwww... Anyhow, there's been a regime change and the dick heads that infested this forum have been purged so stick around.

I'm living in a mansion in charleston now. It's pretty sweet, come visit. I'm done with trash rotaries. I finally have it running semi ok but I'm just sick of them. Pretty much just need a T-56 to be ready for the swap.

Also trying to sell off my dirt bikes so I can get a fast street bike.

never really left, just don't get on much anymore since the take over from the migration of those from the 7 board that couldn't just do as they pleased. yeah chris, i'll have to take the time to drop by. seems the hood sales have been doing well.

I'd rather not post pictures of the house up here but if you get stacy to add me on facebook you can see the pictures.

Still need a T-56 transmission if you guys know anyone with one.

I took the rv all across the country last year for a few months. Went EVERYWHERE. Then I came back and got really into whitewater. Pretty much just traveled from river to river in the rv. I settled down a little at a small oceanfront house on folly beach and then this year I went to costa rica and road tripped the whole country. We went to some crazy remote places by canals/rivers/etc.

nice. here is my old pos car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpDm8T-L-mQ

it was 493whp and only did 7.65@95 on street tires best pass. it was pretty hard to launch had to ride the clutch. i sold it to build a real engine (408 with afr 225 heads).

you riding to shady side tomorrow ? i went thursday before last and it blew. there is a new drag strip in union that everyone is going to instead of greer or shady side.

What do you think about an LT1 instead of LS1? I found one with a blown head gasket with transmission for $450

LT1 is too old school for a FD. Need the LSx.

I've been out of the loop for quite a while when it comes to cars. I'm down range right now, so I'm planning on building one helluva weekend car when I get back. I'm eyeing the Nissan 350z, but I sure as hell can use some guidance on what to buy.

I may post some pictures over the weekend. The LT1 turned out to be a blown head gasket and auto tranny... knew it was too good to be true. I'm still on the hunt.

You should do a 4g63t swap or a sr20det or rb25det. the fuel system on that stock motor sucks. you have probably read that by now.
