June 2nd
 

I'm leaving Japan, for good.

I'm in need of a car. I can pick it up anywhere between Indiana and eastern N. Carolina. Normally I drive straight south through Indiana and then across TN, into NC and across the state, but I can also drive across OH, and down through the VA's and into NC. Plan is to leave Okinawa, head to Indiana for a few days and then take off to NC.

I am not looking for a pile of ----. EG hatch or coupe would be preferred but I will also take a CRX. Also a DC Integra wouldn't be bad and I would entertain a DA but i'm not a big fan of them.

Just to make Kain happy, I am also interested in a 1st or 2nd gen RX7. I have found a few of those. 1 is in CT and the other is where I will be stationed next, The one in CT is pretty bitchin' though and if I left a day earlier, I could pick it up. Its a 1st gen, 1/2 bridge port, side draft carb, rats next removed, very straight body....its on the playing table right now. The other I found is a street ported FC right where I am heading to but im not to sure about it...probably buy it as a last resort.

Heading back to projekteg country. O0

Keep your eyes out. Seems like for the past 3 years I've always come across deals, but now that I need a car, I can never find one. I spent 3 hours last night on craigslist, found a sweet deal, emailed the dude, woke up this morning to find a 'sure, consider the car yours'...I was litterly dialing the phone to call the dude and then got another email when I heard the first ring saying some guy just stopped into his house and he sold it to him. :'(

Re: June 2nd
 

nice to hear you are finally coming back. sucks about the fc being sold. i have a first gen rx7 myself that i recently blew out the rear rotor. i think i want to look for another motor for it, but i also have something else i can stick in it, but cost me a little bit to do it. they are nice cars to own, but to dd one, i dont think i could trust the apex seals if i wanna have fun with it. although about any honda will get you good gas millage, which you may need to consider at this time with gas prices.

Re: June 2nd
 

check out vadriven.com tons of cars for sale, not too far out of your way either

Re: June 2nd
 

OMG FGTA!!!!

Re: June 2nd
 

thanks for the link. I will check that out. 78nova, if it fucks up, it fucks up. :l

Re: June 2nd
 

why quote the entire thing when you are the first person to responde to his thread? makes no damn sense. oh and frank, keep an eye out for a nice bike while your at it. its the season and all.

Re: June 2nd

Re: June 2nd
 

That is a pretty broad area to find a car. You should find a deal somewhere.

Re: June 2nd
 

haha ---- i just picked up a 1978 cb750 yesterday for 500. got the motor all torn out already for a good deep cleaning and repainting of the frame before we put it all back together. its a friends bike, but im letting him do all the work in my garage.

Re: June 2nd
 

if you're stoppin up in CT i want some JDM goodies ;)

Re: June 2nd
 

frank you're coming to ct to elegantly dine and drink cheap beer with us nogs. end of story

Re: June 2nd
 

Im not coming to Ct, I would probably ask the guy to meet me somewhere along my route.

If the price was right I might be willing to sell mine, but I'd imagine Central FL would be quite out of your way.

Re: June 2nd
 

atlanta has TONS of rx's just sitting. i know where there has been one sitting for a year, and its the most cherry FB i have ever seen.

Re: June 2nd
 

FIMTA!

Re: June 2nd

Re: June 2nd
 

Frank Is Moving To America. :l

Re: June 2nd

Re: June 2nd
 

thanks for the offer. I think the FB from Florida is goin to work out. I will be calling the guy when I wake up in the morning (its 1150pm here now) to set everything up. Found a shipping company that will move the car for about $500- so I will have a total of about $2000 in this. I think its goin to be a fun car.

Re: June 2nd
 

I bother is selling his eg shall. :6

Re: June 2nd
 

yea i remember when you went to japan, but i think that was before i actually joined hmt. i was just lurking at the time.

Re: June 2nd
 

The FB is 100% mine now. Now its time to search for a shell for all of my Honda ----.

Although, I am also considering selling all of my honda stuff for a bike. Who knows....cant wait to be back in the good ole u.s. of a here in about 9 days. :6

Re: June 2nd
 

di you decide on what bike yet? havent got to ride this cb750 yet, but its been alot of fun working on it.

Re: June 2nd
 

no, havent figured that out yet. I will figure that out when the time comes. My father in law had a kawasaki zrx1200 and I loved riding that bike. It was comfortable, had power and ran awesome. He took it on several road trips, and was on it when he won the irn butt a few years ago

Re: June 2nd
 

Do you have any pics of that fb? I need to find a motor for mine. 900 is a little steep for rebuild kit.

Re: June 2nd
 

There was a bridge ported 12a on rx7 club for sale, $1300-


edit, it was on ebay. Gone now.

Re: June 2nd
 

with or without rotor housings?

Re: June 2nd
 

Bring me rotary or bring me death!

Re: June 2nd
 

probably without. $900 is about the average price for a good rebuild kit, from what I have been finding. Pineapples and atkins is roughly $1200-

Re: June 2nd
 

what? you kidding me. you can price them at or around 600 dollars.

Re: June 2nd
 

links? If I can find a complete rebuild kit for $600, I will buy it to have on the shelf waiting to be used. :D
and I did say a good kit. Im not talking about a ebay kit.

Re: June 2nd
 

What are the odds a JDM 13b-rew bought online needs to be rebuilt? I'm talking 93+ rx7's here bought from a website that also sells on ebay.

Re: June 2nd
 

50% they are soo iffy.

Re: June 2nd
 

Kain knows nothing about rotaries. The correct answer is 52%

Re: June 2nd
 

the trick is that you have to piece them together.

here is a link that will give you the links to everything you need. if you can scrape by without using new rotor housings, then you'll be able to spend like 600 to 750 bones. but dont expect the engine to last longer than 50k miles or so, although they can last much longer.

Re: June 2nd
 

i would use 52% as well. you dont know with jdm engines when it comes to rotary. some people have them rebuilt by kevin landers at rotary resurrection.

i didnt have time being in school and working full time, and not having tools, so i went and talked to kahren. so far the engine is runing like a champ.

Re: June 2nd
 

I had a lunar lander build mine

Re: June 2nd
 

yo can you believe they still have that ---- sitting on the moon?

Re: June 2nd
 

The bottom half of 6 of them at least, they'll stay there forever unless a comet hits the moon and wipes them out.
