Pics no workie.

 

I can't get to them right now either, For some reason Yahoo does this to me from time to time. Usually right after I post something for people to look at.

 

big fat nasty tires =

 

i'll take the rx7

 

yea really, how much for the RX-7

 

HA NO WAY!! That thing has been a money pit over the years. I've invested about $40K plus the price of the car. It's really more of a street legal racecar now. It's lots of fun but very finicky and tempermental, not to mention totally impractical.
Here's a cool pic of it taken last year on the way to Sevenstock in irvine. and a link to a bunch more pics of it and of our BMW 330Cic

RX7s were badass road cars and not too shabby on the dragstrip but had some issues going down the modded road and that rotary had very little tolerance for a lean condition or even a little overheating.

I can relate the $$$ pit thing from owning my Eclipse. I bought it in '95 for $13k and had about that in mods and fix-its over the years and I took it from a practical all season good car to a tempermental Viper beating street sleeper. Great stock motor (I only was pushing about 320hp which is about 100 less than the stock bottom end would hold) but the trannys were an issue plus with bi-annual clutch changes,101 octane fuel,race fees and 16mpg around town it just was too much and sold it to a friend last year.
So far my Runner has been much easier on my Visa.

 

Yeah, Ive had my share of problems with it, however they where all caused by me. I'm right on the edge now with my fuel delivery. If done right the stock 1.3L motor will run at 800+ HP but thats a lot of tuning and big bucks.
I get tired of it sometimes and wonder why I still have it. Then I drive it and I forget how REALLY fast it is. It's nice on the freeway if someone gets on your ass and you just drop a gear and Goodnight!!

 

I miss the AWD launches hitting 1.7 60' times on all season radials at the strip and were even better on the street watching pretty much anything else scramble for traction. In a couple years I'm either gonna go back to an AWD/turbo combo with either an EVO or an STi and IF I can find one reasonable priced (yeah right) I really want a TT Supra which easily can lay down 700+whp on the stock 3 liter.

 

RX7s are great cars, but they are very high maintenance. Most come to untimely deaths because owners think that just because the engine is designed will and can run 10,000PRM, that they need to make it do so. This is very hard on the bearing that those rotors ride on.

Awesome cars though. I've wrenched on a few. I'd love to add one to my fleet at some point, but think that an R32 or R33 will come before the RX7.

 

all of our inner-ricer personality is acting up now. =)

 

Who you callin' ricer???

 

thats not a fleet.

3 4runners in the driveway, el camino hidden by the white runner.

 

The way it should be!

 

I dunno about that although my 98 GSX was VERY expensive to maintain and how it loved me spending money on it, my 4Runner is getting very close to matching how much i spent on the eclipse... but i will say this I MISS MY ECLIPSE!!!!!

 

Dude, the interior looks flawless on that 90 runner. Has it been re-done? Anyway, hope you get top dollar for that thing cus I looks like it has been treated well (unlike the runner I bought and dumped 3K into).

 

Not just that they wanted em to spin but most owners didn't realize they actually pumpd oil from the sump into the combustion chambers. This helped keep the apex seals lubricated. At least, on the 13B they we're that way. I think the 12's were also like that. Not sure on the newer gens; although I do suspect they're the same.

A wankle engine should use (burn) a qt. of oil every 1500-3000 miles. Most peeps didn't check they oil level often enough and their apax seals dried leaving hardly any compression.

That was the real downfall of the rotary engine. It needed to be watched (maintained regularly)and most peeps just drove the piss out of em.

I totally rebuilt an 86 13B for storm chasin' when I first moved to OK from WA. Slap second at 9Kr's and I could change lanes steering straight ahead. FUN FUN car!!! I miss it.

 

O yea, and saletel, that is one hell of a fleet!!
