well if money permits me to i would like to get the ford 9" with 4 link installed in my 83 & the cage built. i have the 9" with 4.56 gears & a 4 link i would like to use already. first i have to track down an electrical problem in my supercharged 86

Mostly just easy upgrades and maintenance for now. 5 lug swap, change bushings, put on my coilovers, replace some broken emissions stuff, replace a door and a seat, then just whatever little touches I feel like. Most of my time and effort is going into projects for my engineering degree (plus some might be worth something). Not much time left for the car with school and inventing.

ahh! i miss you guys!! didnt get to see everyone at apple blossum this year.... man i havnt postedo in here in ages.



was doing pretty good only having 2 rx7's... but then last month i went out of control! lol



i finally installed a good rebuilt ported real t2 motor into my na-t car.

picked up a black 89 vert with a bad trany for 340 bucks.



Then i traded my 01 firebird for a 93 rx7! YEAH FD TIME.i got some cash ontop of the trade because the turbos are shot on the fd.i actually bolted a header on there just to get it running and make sure it doenst smoke or anything. i plan to replace the turbos within the next couple weeks hopefully man what a complex system to work on lol.

ArmyOfOne 08-25-2009 11:57 PM

I am streetporting a 12A to hold me over until the winter. Then it gets the 93' 13B N2O drag setup.

j200pruf 09-02-2009 05:41 PM

Granted its not summer anymore, but I decided to rebuild my 13B after a few years of thinking I was going to do a engine swap. might need some parts soon https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
