That would be a 2g, right?

Go find yourself a nice sbc to go in that bitch. mate it up to a T-5 tranny (or T56 if you can afford) and you're set.

Spenser 05-20-2004 02:01 PM

Re:got my dream car!!!!!!!!!

really? he has the 3g? thats awesome if he got it for only 300 dollars. but its just a shell

Speedracer32 05-20-2004 03:38 PM

Re:got my dream car!!!!!!!!!
 
I think that's still good for just the shell
----, while he's looking for the engine he could be sanding that shell and priming it for a new coat of paint
Nice project car to work on. I wouldn't mind having it but
POSitive: props from people for hooking it up
NEGative:expect headaches

this is the bubble ones right?

HondaTuner 05-20-2004 03:42 PM

Re:got my dream car!!!!!!!!!
 
----, that's a great deal for a shell. My sis's bf just got a 2g RX-7 for $300 for just the shell (and some turbo parts I'm going to try to buy off of him :P). I'd say work on getting the engine and nothing else. You're right though, speedracer32.. expect some headaches with the rotary. But have fun...

AND GET SOME PICS UP! :P

Shut the hell up kain.

What else is in this car? Transmission? Rear Axle? I would like to pick up a 3g "shell", even if it was to resell.

accordepicenter 05-21-2004 02:54 PM

Re:got my dream car!!!!!!!!!
 
you should (and ive seen this done before) toast that 13b (i think its a 13b right?) and drop in either a 2JZ or an RB26DETT and turbo the life out of it, thatll be damn scary but very fast

I've heard you say this before, and I let it slip, but I'm sorry, putting a SBC or any other motor is not going to give a 50/50 weight distribution in a FC. Stocke then come with nerly a 50/50 weight ditribution, most of the weight is still over the front wheels (53/47) this is accomplished with the fact that the rotorary motor and tranny is small, lightweight, and pushed far back in the eingie bay.

if you place a v8 in one of those things itis not gona fit that far back, so more weight is gona be placed over the front wheels.

I was wondering if someone was going to hit me up on that one. No I have never done it, no I don't know anyone who has done it. What I did find was an RX7 kit for the 2g that fits the sbc into it. I will find you this kit and let you look at it, I'm in no position to challenge it right or wrong.

dude wtf where are the pics at? i know your not out there driving that thing cause that ---- aint got no motor. haha j/k. you lucky bastard. 300 bucks. ---- thats a bangin deal. even for just the shell. but u said its just missing the motor so thats a really good deal.
