Always liked twins! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Now the kicker is my 7 may be sold, and the CYM I was gonna check out is gone too! Sounds like I am gonna be in the market for a good rolling chassis soon!

damm those low mileage fd's.... o well good to hear yours may be sold! more projects are always nice.. but two at once is a pain!



you can find blown ones for like 4-8k easily, just make sure the body is good (or missing bumpers etc etc so you can do 99conversion or something on it...)



mine is still for sale, and always will be..

Why are you selling an FD only to buy another? Why not just rebuild the one you have? (I got the impression that you have an FD for sale).



And Papasmurf:



That is my plan exactly. I am hoping to spend somewhere around $5-7k for a nice, but blown, FD to rebuild by spring. Know of any? Is yours F/S Blown? Or, rather, do you know where to look? I've checked cars.com/autotrader/thepartstrader/rx7club/ and here and only know of a handfull if that...

PhoenixDownVII - yes, I have a VR '93 that is in great shape......Had a kid interested in it for $18K, but he called today and cannot afford the payments. Kinda glad in a way as I was a bit worried about him wadding the car and himself. Have wanted a CYM since they were new, and could have picked up a roller for $9.5K. That would have left me $8.5K to do a reman, street port, upgraded twins, yadda, yadda, yadda..........I am at the point with mine of going big.........Big money that is......rims, coil-overs, ECU, street port, new seals and gaskets.......Make everything tight and right and get as far under a 13.4 et as possible!



Papasmurf.......That CYM had around 72K on it. Have asked for pics and condition just to really twist the knife, but it is gone and mine is still here.........Time will tell what will happen!

u can find blown sevens everywhere!! i can contact this place by me "sound performance" and find out where they get their blown sevens from. the one i have for sale is in great working order (about 6k on new large streetport) also try and contact mazdarecyclery.com or something like that, they have MANY blown/ crashed sevens and im sure they may share with you how they get them.. also about 2 weeks ago on ebay i saw a black one that was a non finished project, went cheap as hell too.



i dont know what im going to buy after my seven is gone, i will miss it sence ive put so much into it. possibly buy a blown seven and do something interesting to it...
