the removed stuff was all about wheels, names were called and it got to be childish.
Like who has the prettiest wheels?

no it was all about price and mostly Phils choice in wheels, someone said contest over the rx wins. Then someone mentioned it was easy to throw money down and buy those wheels. It was actually amusing to read for a bit.

Probably.
Seriously, this can not be safe at any speed.
Who cares if it's safe as long as it looks fresh as f*ck.

lol +1 internet point to Nick and Nate.
And I totally agree with you there, Levi. They are sweet cars and I'm sure I would be drooling over them like I did the first time i saw them. But every month is an annoyance.

Thanks for the point. I think that takes me up to 3 now.
I don't know who Phil is, but the two 6's that entered on the first page. WOW! Me likey.
I guess I should enter my rx7's in MOTM someday, they may not be as nice as that fd but at least I build the cars myself.
Not to mention a really nice RX3 as well... but no one drools over that. Always the effing FD's.
IIRC he's got more than that. I stopped paying attention to MOTM a long time ago. The same cars win time and time again whether it was "built or bought" (starting to hate that argument BTW). They win because they're the best/most interesting. No one else wins because no one else steps up - seriously, name a current "big build" going on right now on this site. Too many "high school/college Protege build on a budget" threads nowadays. Since when does slapping springs, CAI, and a exhaust on a car considered a "build."
On a different note where's Ivan? I'm sure he was screaming/crying last night. (Croatia got robbed)
Does my 3 year rebuild count as a big build? Completely joking, but seriously. Nobody tears into their own motor anymore. I know buying a built shortblock and dressing it up with a bunch of bolt ons is more reasonably priced now a days and requires a bit of work, but nobody touches internals anymore it seems.
I mean absolutely no offense to anyone. It just seems that those putting large gobs of money and time always drag out the project over numerous years, since you know, life happens and a racecar is not priority over family.

Would like to see pics of his RX-3. I would probably vote for it.
I think the whole built vs. bought depends a lot on how the owner presents it. This same "argument" is happening on a lot of Camaro boards too. I know every car guy would love to build their car, not everyone has the time, patients or expertise. Time = Money. I can get a LS engine making 400 hp and a warranty for about what it would cost to buy the tools and parts to rebuild my 350 to make about 300-350 hp. Seems silly not too.
Besides that, everything is pretty much bolt-on parts/kits anyways. Legos for cars!
