'86 RX7 Rally Car

I know what he got.

Hope the rest of your trip went well.

I just realized your team name maximum effort...

we decided on a very close one entirely on accident!

About 2000 miles later, I am one rally car, two 13bs, 3 differentials, 3 turbos, and a vast quantity of wheels, tires, and spares richer. Also very tired.

Very nice, but I'm kinda partial to XR's.

Currently on my way back home from going to Allentown, Pa to attend a Megasquirt class and get my 302 converted XR dyno tuned.

Yuss!

Oh yes. This is cool.

And stopped by RallyCross Eastern Championships just so Kimmett and me wouldn't have the only stage cars there ;)

I think that Merkur was a good score!

I know, it's awesome! Say, would you like to own both the minimum and maximum effort RX7s? I may have one for sale soon (after I get the engine swapped, and the XR4Ti ready).

In reply to GPz11:

Dude, you were like 15 minutes from my house! Coming back anytime soon?

It'll probably be awhile before I get out there.

Probably Carlisle in 2017.

I was attending a Sloppy Mechanics Mega/Micro squirt class. Stuck around on Sunday so Matt could tune it in.

Sweet! Merkur is ugly and should be fun.

Sweet! The next time I'm home I may take another drive up in the Mini to check it out.

I would be tempted for a rallyX/ice race beater but I need to focus on the 10AE restoration when not 100% full blown rally rx7 building.

In reply to fidelity101:

OK. If somebody wants the thing as a LeMons/Chumpcar would you be interested in the coilovers? Not for a few months mind you, but I'm trying to think ahead.

I'll keep my ears open locally but I'll pass on the coilovers. Not sure my future plans with it yet, haven't done my coilover homework yet.

Kevin, was hoping we'd see you at Frostburg last weekend!

Old garbage out:

New garbage in:

Hooked up:

In theory, I just add fluids and a battery tomorrow and it will live again!

I sure as he'll hope so!

Do-ri-tos, do-ri-tos

Mwahahahahaha!!!

Thanks EvanB and wvumtnbkr! Didn't even have to change the plugs.

Awesome!

What a long and strange trip that engine's had. I think that I bought that engine from a GRM'er in 2012 or 2013 or something. Driving through SW PA with an overloaded wagon on dried out snow tires in a monsoon was interesting.
