Think of it this way guys. At least it didnt go the wrecking yard. Someone saved a FC from the ultimate death. Although it died by putting a Boinger in it, the car is still there.



Each to there own. I look at it like this: If you put anything but a 12, 13b, 20b, or any rotay in an RX-7, its not the same car anymore. No more wankel soul.



Like has been said, this specific FC being modified like that affects your life in NO WAY!! I saw it about a week ago, said "hmmm creative" and moved on...



To those who are so upset by it, buy the f*cker, and then rebuild it into a stock FC. Until I see that happen, STFU!!

I said he welded a FC to a different chassis and I didnt

even read the guys description in EBAY.



Can you not read my post??



"a swap like that would be done by basically welding a FC frame to the CJ."



learn to read
yes but he didnt weld an fc frame to a cj frame. he put the interior and exterior of an fc onto a cj frame which you said wouldnt be done.



and as far as you being owned, its just fun to **** with ya since your convinced that im somehow always wrong.

are you ******* kidding me?



look at a 78 CJ frame and look at a FC, how in the **** can you bolt the

body panels and put the interior from a FC into/onto it???????



Do you realize how short a 78 Jeep CJ is? its shorter then the current frame



what holds the entire body of the RX-7 to this CJ frame then? How did he get the

whole engine bay and everything to bolt up to the CJ??



He did it by removing the suspension from the RX-7, then basically he welded

the frame to a rolling CJ frame. The old cars with a full frame can basically be driven as is when you remove the body, you can drive around the rolling frame, so putting another car onto its frame is a matter of welding some blocks

or what have you and then welding them to various parts of the Frankenstein car.

If you have ever seen the underside of one of these conversions they are usually a abortion and drive like ****, which is the reason why they almost

always do it to offroad vehicles because ride quality and handling is obviously not a issue

either way he used a cj frame, he said so himself.

I feel like I am in a Biazarro world, I said he used a CJ frame, one that

he welded a FC frame to it. How many times do I have to say the same

thing over and over before it sinks into your head?



the thing has both a CJ frame AND a FC frame.

This is the most hilarious thread ever. And why is Mr. "I envy you" so bitter? You don't want to defend the FC? Go watch Dr. Phil.
