New Project Soon!

Well I guess JT inspired me to make a new thread here. I am in the desert now as some of you know. Can't wait to get back home, lol.


I do know for fact that I am going through with a new project car. I also know that I must sell a few vehicles. As with GM, I am doing a massive reformation, lol. Not only for the $$, but mainly for the room. I just have too many lurking around the house. I'll be tossing the F-250 out for a new smaller truck. I guess it's just too big for me and the uses I have for it. Sold the v8 S-10 already. Mountaineer has to go too, blah, blah, blah.


With all that said ... I have thought long and hard about the Stang. It has actually been my most reliable vehicle in the last few years. It's definitely been the most fun. And it is the attention getter, lol. I am going to try my best to keep her with me.


On to the project ... muahahaha!!!! So yea I have thought long and hard about this as well. Considered many things. Narrowed down to 2 choices. 03/04 Cobra vs. FD RX-7. Goal is something I can drive anywhere (even DD if I like), something I can use for autoX if I want, looks good and sounds good, something to take to the strip and dominate, and all this while getting "decent" mileage. Too much to ask for right?


I have chosen the RX-7. I will be building an LS2 / T-56 3rd gen. RX-7. It wins every category. Not my first RX-7 ... I've always loved them and always will. 400HP and 30 mpg ... what's not to love about that?! These cars are just beautiful to me. One of the only imports that actually look good to me for some reason. That + American V8 power =

Example anyone? Tell me this isn't sexy ...

Yep, I still have the Stang, lol. And yea, if I keep it (like I intend) it is definitely not finished.

The LSx is one of the only things I admire when it comes to GM. It almost unbeatable. Small in relation to its C.I. ... lightweight ... PUSHROD ... great mileage, etc. Then mixing it with an FD makes the ultimate car for me. I know my fellow rotary peeps will bash me, lol. They say it de-souls the car. Oh well. I like torque. MPG instead of GPM. An engine that lasts over 60K miles. And can stay consistent.


So Pat is still MIA. Bummer. He is probably building some crazy car.


And Adam ... there is no way I'll ever do something like that, lol. I may do swaps ... but never will a GM product touch my Stang. It just feels wrong to think about it. AC Delco battery .... NEVER!!!! I still have blue blood, lol.
