I say you buy it and swap the parts liek you said, You win either way.
that's kindof what I'm starting to think, I'll just make a pact w/ myself not to try to make this thing fast. It's a rotary, and the way I'll take car of it, it will be as reliable as a honda. People will freak when they see this thing turn. The *** end just follows you around like a lost puppy. Just can't seem to shake it.



man I'd love to get that toyota I kno if i pass that thing up, I'll need a truck the next week

Isn't the radiator leaking - be careful. He has a TII radiator in his garage too. JR has my old one too if you need one.

yeah, it's the o ring at the cap. I'm ordering one from mazdaspeed tomorrow. I was watching it... I topped it off before I left and let it run for about 15 minutes when i got home and it never got hot, so I guess that's good. That o ring, and a 40 dollar battery and I should be set!!



You think i should drive it to work tomorrow??

EXACTLEY. You see where I'm coming from. this thing turns like an rx7, looks like an rx7, feels like an rx7, but just doesn't GOOOOO like a turbo rx7. I mean, even if I'm servicing my tII I'll have this thing to have fun in.



I might go for 250k with this motor, I was able to get 225 out of my turbo motor, before premix. Change that oil baby!!

With those slicks on there I'd probably break something!! wait untill I get some cheapies on there.



Vosko if i get a burnout video will you host it?? You will not believe how loud this car is right now. I swear to god if I were to go outside right now and fire it up right now, the cops would show up and not ask questions, just shoot me and impound the car. I have never heard a street car as loud as this. Gonna fix that soon tho

I say keep it. One day when you got some extra cash drop a ITS motor in and that car will zip. Look at Tim 190 RWHP with a ITS engine and stock exhaust.
