Dude, seriously. Why start over at this point?

You already have the fundamental backbone for a racecar. Engine, cooling, EMS, good chassis.

And maybe I'll make mine look like that. Except, no turbo. That wing is the most expensive thing I see on the FC pic I posted.

Seriously though, they're good cars, just not what I think I'm looking for.

Then buy Carter's RX-8, and have him keep the Enkei's and KW's on it.

Buy mine DJ. Swap to your shell if you want, or sell yours for $1500.

djmtsu · 12-06-2013, 01:53 PM

I'll give you the same amount of $$$ I paid for my current 5A S4 NA (lots of acronyms there!!!)

If you were to sell yours, you will get more as a part out. I did, sad but true

My5ABaby · 12-06-2013, 02:05 PM

I would get much more off a part out but it's a pain in the ass.

reddozen · 12-06-2013, 04:48 PM

What are you trying to get out of it Robert?

rx7 vinnie · 12-06-2013, 08:04 PM

There's a clean white FC shell I'll give away because I'm tired of looking at it. Thought about taking it to my land in the country and fill it with tanerite to see what my long range Remington 700 .308 can tap it at 2k yards.... But it's not mine.

FC Zach · 12-06-2013, 08:09 PM

Ha Ha, would love to see that!

rx7 vinnie · 12-06-2013, 08:24 PM

It's so clean that it would be a shame to blow up...... I should just sign the title and back-half it and call out FarmTruck to get on the show.

djmtsu · 12-07-2013, 02:27 PM

This white shell you speak of.......

Johnny_K · 12-07-2013, 03:14 PM

^ it's a shell I picked up over the summer and I'm in the process of collecting parts to build a 400 whp setup. Using these cars as inspiration. Just lacking money to finish the car anytime soon.

He can't even see the car and said its fine at his house so I'll b there till he tells me to come get it.

rx7 vinnie · 12-07-2013, 03:54 PM

My dogs made it a cozy home......

85rx-7gsl-se · 02-10-2014, 08:53 AM

So it looks like I will be picking up the RX8 this coming Saturday. Anyone want to get together for a late lunch/early dinner?

reddozen · 02-10-2014, 11:55 AM

That would be nice... I think that will be date night for me given that it's the day after Valentines day. Otherwise I would be down... I'll see what's going on as we get closer.

It was a stubborn little car to get started and idling... lol

85rx-7gsl-se · 02-10-2014, 11:57 AM

Yeah Vinnie said she has been fighting him, but sounds like you all finally manhandled her into behaving. Thanks for lending a hand since I couldn't be there.
