The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

I think the RX-7 is beautiful. I doubt I could ever afford the maitenance and repair costs if something went wrong, let alone the car itself,
 
Haha! Yeah right.

It's quite impressive, but I'm not even slightly interested in that if I had the money. I'd take a bone stock FD over that car any day of the week, it's just not my style.
 
Come on, Will! You're rich! How about we make some sort of payment plan and you can buy it for me. I can afford about $37.00 a month.
 
Deal!

I couldn't imagine paying that much for a used car, that old, even with all the modifications and work that's been done to it. I paid less for my brand new STI.
 
Just saw a motorcyle cop on ridge rd near snow leaning out around a building and taking radar like he was playing paintball or something lol.

Busy weekend. Exam in my morning class tomorrow, washing the car, meet, then valet at tangiers at night. 2 projects to finish on sunday.

That's now a written contract. Thanks!

But yeah, I couldn't imagine spending that much money on a used car either. Though it would be sweet to have a $38k car that would smoke tons of new cars that cost twice as much. Super cars just don't do anything for me, I prefer a sport compact with $20k of mods that would smoke a super car. To me, that's much more impressive.
 
Jon, did you get the trans shifting smoothly again?
I've got the extension housing on again and installed the correct lower bushing but the shifter is still really sloppy. It goes into and out of gear really nicely but I'm missing this little bushing that fits around the pivot ball at the end of the shifter. I forgot that part had been completely destroyed in this transmission. I've ordered a delrin replacement as you can get the OEM piece by itself. With that in everything should be just fine. Until that goes in I'm not touching reverse or 5th.

Regarding the RX-7 I really dislike the front end. For some reason I hate FMIC's on RX-7. There's so much room to do a good v-mount setup so why not do it. Also, for as much work was put in it the engine bay wiring is pretty messy. I love the cheap, reclining "racing seats" too.
 
Define "smoke." Straight-line speed? Maybe. Either way you're not going to find any econo-box with $20k invested in it that has the same combination of speed, handling, comfort, and luxury of a supercar.
