Drew, i’ve been meaning to give you a call. I’d like to get some pictures of em together…as you may know, i think i am finally done…well dyno tune to come. I see by your numbers the rear end must be pretty diesel…nice 60’s. i’ve been thinkin about some track runs to see where i stand. hope i can find some time soon. as always nice job with everything. p.s. how close did u stay to budget? lol

How many v8 rx7’s are in WNY?

Let me know when the interiors back/you wanna take me for a cruise lol.

That sound deadening stuff was ridiculously light tho, and it definitely made an improvement even just tapping on the bare metal :tup:

wrd

agreed and fml

We can discuss this in person but yeah even with the entire car basically overhauled and the new rear setup I am more then glad with what I have into it.

2? Might be some I am not thinking of. Hopefully i will be helping build 1 or 2 this winter.

Heaterz and thanks for the help the other night. I think I am going to start reassembly tomorrow. Im super stoked for the changes.

A few years ago there were 4 or 5 v8 rx7s in rochester alone.

i rode in sansones yesterday, pretty sure you’re a little bit bigger than me, idk how the fawk you fit in this thing lol

in for final interior and exterior siq pictures!!!

Im 5’11’ 185lbs and fit fine. My knees would hit the steering wheel so I went with a smaller mad tyteeeee quick release setup.

I will get some finished pics soon enough. I <3 this car as it is getting refined and turned out faster then expected.

Are you gonna have it buttoned up to go drag racing wednesday? I know u mentioned it at vizzi’s. When is it ready for spray?

I will prolly drag it wed. Its ready for spray once I run some 10s on the motor. I have everything here already.

I have yet to drive it yet but just from knocking on areas before and after it was a HUGE difference in noise. I will have more conclusive opinions next week. I am most excited to see the heat reduction from sealing the huge holes in the firewall. I patched them with aluminum.

Get this thing out and drive it !!! We need to cruise so I can show you how much you love the radial cars.

hahah Im not opposed to trying some radials. Do you know any 5 lug mustang guys that would let me borrow some for a few passes?

I would

What you got for me to try?

255/50/16 Mickey drag radials

Anyone with man sized ones? haha <3

You can try my 325/50/15’s 15x12 6.5 backspace

You could try mine too. 295/45/17

Yes plz. even if they wont bolt up cause up backspace i want an idea of if there is any chance of a 28" tire fitting in there.

Id like 15" as im most certain ill hook up better on my 26" et drags. But for shits and giggles id try a similar sized radial. Hell ill make a pass on yours too if ya dont mind. Might as well test em out. Track wed? Anyone want to go?
