if your gonna spend huge money on a pinto, why bother?

spend half the amound on a SR or maybe even a 4AGE z and

get similar power without the HUGE costs?

new fuel pump

and new radiator,

shud be back on the road soon

i just never park my car out of my site,

i take it on cruzes, im always in it, or near it,

go the daily piece that no1 will steal

has any1 actually seen the results of using valvemaster?

because there is no guarantee or statement by them saying

it will prevent valve seat corrosion ...

just wondering if its actually worth using?

surge tanks are a major benefit, specially with hard corning and acceleration.

been a in car that had a surge tank mounted in the boot, and got no fumes wat so ever in the car, nothing that i noticed anyway

looks mint as, the rims suit it hard! got a nice dish on em.

that photo with no springs?

":2mnagxtz]oh was my mates car wasnt even damaged that bad aye dunno why he sold it but yea the moter still goin sweet?

yeh man, the engine is all good, the carb that he had on it was f**kd,

so im sorting all the little things out ... got a elec dizzy for it, new plugs

leads etc, getting a new 4barrel for it too,

so hoping its out n about again soon

":24gq5b4j]did u buy the parts 7 off dan from hams with the 13b bridgie in it out of pimp rx van?

yeh used that car as a doner for the engine,

sold the rest of the running gear and most of the interior parts out of it too, pretty much made my money back on the car

why you ask?

papakura engine specialist in takanini are real good when it comes to stuff like this.

but yeh, save a bit more coin before you start ringing round or going to places looking for quotes

look good, the rx4 is my favourite of the early rotary's.

sedans especially, but the coupes are still all good

they dont seem to fetch as much money as the rx2 or 3's tho,

probably the same over in auzzie?

cracks me up,

im another 'rotary lover' on this site, and would agree with what rxsumo said,

its nothing new, and there's already a lexus v8 series 5 rx7 that

always enters burnout comps. so his idea aint anything knew, apart

from that he wants to do it to a rx3, which will just make it more expensive for himself

noticed a few comments about people hating rotaries tho?

why is this, i dont actually hate any type of car, i mite not like them

as much as i like rotaries, but it seems funny that people passionately

hate something as silly as an engine

do what you wana do mate,

there must be one that you like better than the other, so yeh ...

I might be coming up, been last couple years. dunno though with the start of uni and all. will mish up if some other wellington peps are going etc.

oldrx7, whats wrong with the sev not to race? saw it last year tearing up mad stock 12a stz. looked staunch though.

haha, yeh it was a bit of a laugh, slow as hell, but heaps of fun,

the carb is rooted, and need a new radiator as its leaking a bit, so

dont see myself coming up with enough cash b4 then to get it fixed

Lookin good there!!!

the crager modgies look real good, better than mangel ones imo.

the paint original, or just original colour, looks good anyways.

the sticker not too sure, its not even proper bombing, just that

font that you can get off the web, printed onto a sticker,

if you like that style (stickers down the side) you should try finding

some1 that can do proper bombing and make it up, but that aint cheap,

so yeh ...

looks way better than the crown

i'll be there, sadly working / watching the drags,

sooo guttered that my cars not going well enough to race

Ahaha sell a series one 7 for an Escort project

well yeh i guess you could say that;

although i've owned the escort longer, took it off the road about 5

years ago to do panel/paint,

but got distracted by the 7 along the way

so it'l be making way to continue the escort once i've got it going

perfect and had my fun with it

top man... sell rx to finance escort

good to hear!

i would have kept it standy but hell, looks great and must go well too

almost bought me a series1 but turned out to have a rusty xmember and down/inside/back of the boot so i left it.

nice tho

yeh lots of them are rusty as, or full of bog,

mine aint perfect, photos are always decieving but the paint is original, so i know the little imperfections here and there .... its got a tiny patch of rust (smaller than 5c piece) near the petrol flap, but thats about it, and it hasnt grown over the 2 years that i've owned the car which is good ...

i cant keep a car standard aye, i like buying them when they're standy, but have to modify it, just the way i am

and as for selling the rx to finance the escort ... well thats true,

but i wonder whats gonna be powering the escort

aww why'd you get rid of the trash can lids hahaha

Looks the goods mate. Some people prefer the series 2 or 3 because of electric windows and rear disc brakes etc., but I prefer the simplicity of the Series 1.

still got the standy alloys, just sitting in the garage in the corner ...

yeh i think i prefer the series 2-3 because of the bumpers and the front guards, they look more sleek if you know what i mean,

but the series 1 is what started it all, and i found this one when i wasnt

really looking for another car, and couldnt say no

will probably sell it within the nxt year or so (once i've got it running right)

and put the money towards my escort project;

this is what it looked like about 6 odd years ago

yeh it does seem that most people either have to get new skool bling

chromies, or modgies ...

doesnt seem to be any other rims out there

at the nats show 'n' shine, was good to see an rx3 with some 15" superlights on it, looked really good too

this aint the best pic, but gives you an idea

im liking the tow bar...

whats it towing? hahaha

haha, wat a smart arse aye

well i got it from napier about 2 years ago, like this, with the towbar,

havent been bothered taking it off, i dont mind it actually, saves

my rear bumper if someone bumps into me i guess

stock as a rock, but the standy 12a was pretty smoky,

so lowered it, put mags on it, raced it at meremere,

then sold the 12a, and found another wrecked rx7 with a decent 13b

bridgeport in it, and have put that in ... and current looks like this ...

*update*

have gotten rid of the standard 12a (smokey as lol)

and now have a 13B bridgeport in there,

a few teething problems, need new radiator, fuel pump, and

carb is stuffed, so was running like a sack,

but lack of money at the mo means it'l probly be nxt summer

when its going again

take in your standard springs (if you still have them) and say

'i'd like a set of these made up, but 2" (or whatever) lower, and they'll ask how much stiffer you want them,

just ask for a comfortable but firm ride, and you'll be sorted.

you got any more info on this rx7

was an awesome days drag racing,

a bit of competition between the classes, but overall seemed a

fun and friendly event, well organised and a great turn out

of top cars.

although, these were the top lot of the imports, and just average

v8's, no where near the proper v8 drag cars doing 6's etc.

the kiwi re rx7 ran awesome! and the heat treatments skyline was

sooo close, only 0.01 second behind the yellow camaro on their

first run, was exciting stuff!

you 'legally' cant, but if you smooth them off so it looks nice n tidy,

then really no one is going to know,

just check that your car can clear the extra suspension travel,

ie; your diff might hit the floor etc.
