Cym Re-Build Thread
 

So I assume most of you know that I wrecked my car. Or as some of you call it "Apon'd Out."


Well after months of searching for a rhd shell or roller, I've finally found one!

I'll be starting with the "Re-build" next weekend and I'll have a full thread dedicated to my part out. Both cars are RHD so keep that in mind when asking for parts. PM me if you want anything during the whole process. This will take me the rest of summer and all of winter to do so time to save up for the parts you want! lol

Anyway for right now I'll just post some before and after "apon outing" pics and pics of the roller.

STAY TUNED FOR BUILD PICS!

And a Shine Street Diffuser, Feed Skirts, and Low profile Spoiler.

Now to go out to my backyard and visit my money tree:(

I have the same lip on order... sitting a friends house in Ontario right now...


I'm sad that the car got totaled.. was a fine example of RHD import..

I'm excited to see this once its all done though... should be a good project...


J.

Results?

:lol: no one wanted to believe me when I said that car was wrecked. Looks like they finally figured it out ;)

Good to see you went the way of another roller. RHD FD's are like twigs up here, they're everywhere and usually broken! You can get one cheap!

Looks like a nice parts list, hope it comes together well for you

:rofl:

man that sucks. now your going to have to find another one of those rare i love sluts stickers.lol

j/k
like that your going back with the yellow though.

what lip is that?

any progress :)

i love cyms good fd sir

I read his thread on rx7club, the canadian governement won't let him export the car to the US

^ Yea. Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Lost of shit happened and I ended up losing the silver roller and the 6k I spent on it.


I'm currently looking for DIRT Cheap R1 shells. PLEASE HELP! lol

Wow, somone was just asking me about the yellow RHD rx7 that rolled around. I heard it got wrecked but was fixed. I guess not, are you still going to try and fix the yellow one or just get a new one all together?

What happened? What do you mean you lost it and the money? That's some BS man.

Yea the silver rhd roller from Canada was seized. Lost the car, and 6k.


Currently looking for a dirt cheap bare bones R1 shell...... fingers crossed :(

WTF, seized by the gov't? That's some BS! This gov't is getting way too obtrusive. I believe they've forgotten their role.

Why do you need a R1 shell? A base shell would be the same.

daayy tuk ur curz!

HAHA ^




A base or an R1 will do. No sunroof is a must. I can deal with rear wiper.

Yeah! This government these days getting out of control and taking all our cars! Too bad the law that made importing cars less then 25 years old illegal was passed in 1988 and was signed by the conservative Jesus Ronald Reagan.

Turns out it was due to heavy lobbying by Mercedes.

"The grey market was successful enough that it ate significantly into the business of Mercedes-Benz of North America and their dealers. The corporation launched a successful million-dollar congressional lobbying effort to stop private importation of vehicles not officially intended for the U.S. market. An organisation called AICA (Automotive Importers Compliance Association) was formed by importers in California, Florida, New York, Texas, and elsewhere to counter some of these actions by Mercedes lobbyists, but the Motor Vehicle Safety Compliance Act was passed in 1988, effectively ending private import of grey-market vehicles to the United States."

Turns out the problem has to do with corporate money influencing politicians to do their bidding!

Man! I was looking forward to following the build. Keep us posted. If you find any rollers in S. Fla. and need someone to go take a peek let me know. I'd be happy to check it out for ya.

It always has to do with money. Sadly to the government, nothing else matters.

On a lighter note, I have found a importer in Philadelphia that can find me a R1 roller. So hopefully I'll have that in my hands within a couple of months and I can start the damn build already. Been a LONG time coming.

Were did you end up wrecking the car anyhow? What city?

Why don't you just buy a legal car instead of illegal/imported rollers? Wouldn't that save you money?
