RX5.0

[sLoWnStEaDy]

EDIT: i decided to just 'bump" this thread instead of making a new one.


Well, if anyone is interested, I am selling it again. $3k OBO, some shit in life has changed and I think I need to sacrifice one of my toys and this is the one.

here's the details. http://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/cto/2297984130.html

Honestly, finish up the work and I am sure you could more than double your money. I just don't have the energy or whatever you want to call it right now...

[Clinical]

oh come on, you can't get rid of the rx7

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Don't think I will have too... fiero is on the way here, along with a muddin truck...

I will update in an hour or so when I figure everything out.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

[85XR7Project]

Pics or ban.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Well, it got dark before I got the meats on it...

[AutoMods]

let me know if you end up parting it out

[Clinical]

Just backshelf it for awhile.

It's one of those projects that I guarantee you'll regret dumping like your fiero if you sell it.

[Deimos]

pics of bottle and how much for only the bottle?

I agree 110%

You WILL regret it when all is said and done.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

I wont part it out or sell anything separate, Sorry. The nitrous is only available to whoever buys the car, otherwise I will toss it on the 460 in the Mach One.


Life is full of regrets... Sometimes you just have to do stuff you don't want to do.

[Deimos]

understandable but if you ever come across any NX high flow nitrous bottles for cheap let me know daddy needs the bottle.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

understandable but if you ever come across any NX high flow nitrous bottles for cheap let me know daddy needs the bottle.

This one is an NOS High Flow... I could probably do the bottle, plate and solenoids... you got my number, give me a call sometime.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

BUMP... Taking offers!!!

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Need to come up with cash fairly quick and payday is too far away so...

I am going to offer it for $2k cash for a very short time... Same with the F100

[clutchmuch]

awh cmon! i already got the other one! you suck!

[sLoWnStEaDy]

awh cmon! i already got the other one! you suck!

I post "or best offer" for a reason, LOL... I usually ask about double what I will actually take for something, most people know that about me. From the jump, $2k cash would have and still will get this car.

Seriously, I got the car I have been in love with since I was like 10 years old (Mach One) and I got my Fiero back, I don't want anything else.

[clutchmuch]

well i was going to buy last week but you said you were holding it for a buddy or something i thought. i don't have 2 grand unless i sell this rx7 i just got anyways, but would have loved yours with the swap.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

well i was going to buy last week but you said you were holding it for a buddy or something i thought. i don't have 2 grand unless i sell this rx7 i just got anyways, but would have loved yours with the swap.

hhhmmm.... No idea where you got that idea from but... Not a big deal man, Sooner or later I will stop being lazy, get pictures and a video, throw it on ebay and hopefully get a decent price instead of giving it away for $2k

[85XR7Project]

He thought that because you said it...


Not yet, my dad's buddy that wants the car has to sell his Camaro first.

I can see how he'd think that.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

He thought that because you said it...



I can see how he'd think that.


Where was that posted? Either way, I have always told everyone, the first person to show up with cash gets the car. I told him that in a text message as well, I said "he wants the car but the first person to show the cash will take it"...

[85XR7Project]

It was in his thread about your car...

[sLoWnStEaDy]

OK... got a new project coming, I want it gone, someone make me an offer...

[clutchmuch]

$800 haha that's all i have atm. but i decided im going to do the vg30dett swap to mine. good luck wish i coulda got it lol

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Was it $2k or $2.5k running? Will it still be a 10 sec car if bought running? Also, what does it need if its bought not running?

$2.5K running. won't run 10's if bought running because the nitrous stuff is gone, should run mid-high 12's N/A. Just to get it started/running, it would just need the starter and carb put back on. I took the carb, headers, starter, P.S., alt., and radiator out to mess with the turbo stuff.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Engine, trans, mounts, etc... gone.

If anyone is interested in the rolling chassis (4.10 LSD, ZERO rust, blue interior, "drift" body kit, GTU wheels, etc...) $600 firm can take it

[sparkles]

Put up some pics.

[Deimos]

I don't think you would be hitting tens with those nitrous pieces its missing quite a bit. I will see if someone wants you car. I know a few people.

[clutchmuch]

Well hopefully after what ive payed him, and what i have left to pay ill have this by next saturday or sunday! the engine and stuff, not the car that is haha

[sLoWnStEaDy]

I don't think you would be hitting tens with those nitrous pieces its missing quite a bit. I will see if someone wants you car. I know a few people.

The stuff you got wasn't even CLOSE to what I was running on the car! LOL I just picked that stuff up from KobleTSI a few weeks ago. The stuff I ran on the car I sold to a guy that had a 460 in a boat. It consisted of a 10lb bottler, Hi-flow valve, bottle blanket, NOS cheater solenoids (up to 400 shot), Pro crosshair plate, Jacobs Nitrous Mastermind, etc...

[Deimos]

lol good i was about to say

[Deimos]

what year is it?

[clutchmuch]

what year is it?

88, and apparently the guy who sold me mine is retarded, he said its an 86, i was cleaning up my garage and a paper falls out of the haynes, it was the warranty thing for the window from the 80s, said 87 rx7

[sLoWnStEaDy]

It's an '87

[sLoWnStEaDy]

IF I part it out, anyone need anything?

[clutchmuch]

It's an '87

My bad the 5.0 is an 88 >.<

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Giving it one more bump... Don't want to move i but I have plenty of room so I can if it don't sell.

$500 for the chassis, I can leave the Holley blue pump and -8an line if needed, I can also include a Hurst Quarter stick Pistol Grip, aluminum radiator, 4000CFM fan, and may be some other little stuff for a little extra.


EDIT: Also, since it was brought up. with "clutchmuch" as my witness... Threw the carb on it, hooked up the plug wires and bolted up the starter and she fired right up. LOL

yes she did!

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Alright dammit... $300 for just the chassis... Seriously, you can sell the rearend and make you money back and then some. I just can't bring myself to part it out, this is an incredibly SOLID car.

[JohnnyMarauder]

Where's the pictures?

[sLoWnStEaDy]

SOLD!

Clutchmuch decided to just throw me the little extra and take the whole car. Good thing we didn't yank it all out yet! LOL


FYI: Clutchmuch is an awesome guy!

[Deimos]

the rx7 for 300 i would have bought it for that

[Deimos]

if the deal falls through let me know

[clutchmuch]

if the deal falls through let me know

its not falling through:) and since i knew how much he liked the car im basically storing it for him and repairing the body and when and if he wants its back he can have it. and ill just put the motor in mine.

[85XR7Project]

I think doin a swap on an rx7 would be played out on here now (meaning two is enough). I wanted to do one but I think I might need to look into something else.

[Deimos]

why just cuz you wanna be different like everyone else? Build what you want don't worry about what other people have

[85XR7Project]

Well, if I did do one I'd want a gen 1, I kinda wanna do a 5.0 powered E36 BMW.

[black88gt]

word

[AutoMods]

I'm the only one that gets out and about with the rx7 around here. there will be one in waterloo done later this year, eric's.

heck i don't hardly ever see any rotary powered ones on the road besides rx8's.

thats funny there is like 2-3 of them around here and now they are too common ?

[85XR7Project]

I like the whole idea its just beginning to become a bit common. There is yours, Keith/clutch's, a 327 powered one out by me and I know Ive seen another. I kinda like having something a bit different. Maybe Im weird that way...

[Deimos]

jared's too and he works at a tattoo shop

[Garrett]

You guys make it sound like a Honda...or a Mustang...or anything we all have, or have had...But there's only a couple of these in the area. Vs, how many people with Civic/Camaro's/Mustang's. I still think a RX7 with a ls/sbc/bbc or whatever is neat and rare. Not just any person can do it.

[Drifte]

I reccomend not getting to know too many more people, or you'll be left walking around to be different.

You can pick up f first gen rx7 already swapped cheap, and they are light and fast, and look like a nice classic car at this point.

[85XR7Project]

at least if i went with an FB it'd be different as i've only seen one out here and i was told it was a hack job. sounds like there is a smidge work to get a manual to work (I.E. pedal push pull differences) but not terrible.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

BUMP! Because apparently ClutchMuch is selling it already. LOL

someone buy it so he can finish paying me for it! :)

[AutoMods]

wtf???

[Deimos]

ehh he should just race my version of the proto chicken I will mka ehim a hell of a deal lol

[Garrett]

Its posted on JDMCITY....Said some stuff about you and the body work. Check it out. Here's the link-

Its posted at $2,500. If I may ask, you didn't sell it for close to that much did you?

http://www.jdmcity.com/showthread.php?t=18000

[85XR7Project]

Ooh bad move man, bad move. You may think he knows nothing about body work but apparently YOU know nothing about painting cars or body work. You made a decent looking car look like absolute shit, good work.

I honestly cannot take you seriously. I'd like to, I just can't.

[Stutz]

Omg that hood scoop he put on looks like shit, i'd rather have the air cleaner sticking through the hood then that.

[Clinical]

what the fuck

[LT1Dan]

Wow. What a friggin joke.

[JustinS]

Clutchmuch fails at life.

[AutoMods]

Clutchmuch fails at life.

little harsh ehhh?

[black88gt]

even though it wasnt hard to see this coming,i called it in his build thread

[JustinS]

little harsh ehhh?

Ehh don't care lol.

[85XR7Project]

The funny thing though is he wanted to build that red one and Keith handed him a 98% complete car and he couldnt even stick THAT through.

[Clinical]

not to mention talking about how cool keith is all the time and keith has stuck up for clutch as well, then he bashes keith's body work skills, after doing what he has done to that car.

way to bury yourself clutch

And to add that he posted it on JDMCity talking crap and didn't have the balls to post it here lol.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

[Deimos]

This smack talk should not keep going. I find it entertaining don't get me wrong. It's one thing for me to lame on someone you don't know thats harmless but you two are getting a tad bit personal which is not good for any parties involved.

[Clinical]

Wow, this kid's done.
I'll place a bet he doesnt post here again

[sLoWnStEaDy]

meh... with all the shit talking the trolls do on here, I will be pretty pissed if this stuff gets censored. I have had pages of shit talking against me, it's not like I am attacking his "character" or his family or anything. LOL Some people don't know shit about cars, I understand, I was almost as bad as him 10 years ago. Hell, I will be the first to admit there are a TON of people on here who know a LOT more than me about cars, which is why I don't say shit about them and/or their knowledge/skill. In my group of people, I am the "car guy" and know a million times more than the other 50+ people combined. However, in a group of REAL "car guys" I am probably in the middle somewhere.


ANYWAYS, I am going fishing...

[JustinS]

that is HILARIOUS that he said something about the body work!!! I told him it was not even CLOSE to being ready for paint. #1, I didn't do the body work, #2 it was long strand fiberglass that was NOT sanded and he just spray painted right over it! I have been doing body work for a solid 10 years now and went to school for collision repair and refinishing. my Neon (although it was a ricer and everyone hated it) showed I have more than enough body work and paint skills. Not to mention the NUMEROUS cars I have worked on locally and the cars I did at my buddies body shop out in fairfax.

I kept my mouth shut because, well, I like to think I am a nice guy... I didn't tell anyone you cut the wires on the HEI distributor and tried to wire them to your electric choke. I didn't tell anyone you you freaked out about the block shooting oil because you didn't install the oil dipstick tube I gave you because you thought the transmission dipstick was for oil. I didn't tell anyone that while looking at the intake manifold, you couldn't figure out if it was for a 4BBL or 2BBL carb. I didn't tell anyone you said the trans was screwed up and only had two gears because you just bolted the shifter in and expected it to work without adjusting the cable. I didn't tell anyone you couldn't figure out the HORRIBLE grinding noise and the fact it wouldn't turn over and then I found you only had ONE starter bolt installed and it was only about 1/2 way in. I didn't even tell anyone about you guys almost fucking up your buddies neon by hooking up the jumper cables wrong...


I will stop before I get into the REALLY embarrassing stuff... I got a good 100 texts from you and probably 20-30 phone calls, some at 2am in the morning on a week night (some of us DO work and have kids), along with PM's on here. Just saying, I could make it REALLY embarrassing for him to be seen anywhere in the "car world" if I was a bigger asshole than I am.

Are you serious? I definitely stand behind what I said earlier in this thread about him then!

[Drifte]

Anyone check out the NEW Rx 5.0 from Waterloo that was at the shootout?

[Sleeping]

Anyone check out the NEW Rx 5.0 from Waterloo that was at the shootout?

There was only ryans and mine?

[Drifte]

There was only ryans and mine?
I meant yours, love the wheel choice. Didnt know it was yours until Ryan told me this morning. IDK what motor you have in it, so i went with 5.0.

[AutoMods]

yea he was talking about you. i would've like to check out your car out but was too damn busy. it looked clean , it sure was quiet. why didn't you run?

[Sleeping]

Everyone seems to like the wheels. Car pretty loud goes into a Y then into a 3inch dynomax bullet

[AutoMods]

yea i liked the wheels too. colton told me I should get some of those wheels that you have, which I thought was rude because i like my mustang wheel just as they are. you need to post some pics and video and get a signature pic

[sLoWnStEaDy]

I hope he sticks around, I like picking on him. Besides I've seen more embarrassing things do down. For example, when fifdy exposed slownsteady MAKING SHIT UP here: http://iowaautoforums.com/showthread.php?12974-IAF-s-top-20-quickest-members!&p=160072&viewfull=1#post160072 (ouch)

That's more of an embarrassment and he still posts here...

Something like that... Except the only thing not 100% accurate in that thread is about my uncles Cobra. I thought it was a lot faster than it was, probably because I was like 14 years old when he had it. I admitted that was my bad and didn't try to "back pedal" or anything on that, everything I have posted is true. :) Unless you are referring to me saying "low 10's" when it ran 10.5x

[FiFdYnUtZ]

Holy fucking mega burn batman!

[85XR7Project]

both of them are someone from the forum. way to biased to be new people.

[Stutz]

Everyone is just mad that he has had a 10 second dsm, a 11 second neon, 9 second foxbody and his rx7 with a stock 5.0 and a 700 shot smokes the FUCK outta them damn ls1 rx7s!

fuck waders who's got scuba gear? im about to drown in this shit

[Clinical]

lol this is getting good.

btw my car sounds like it run's 9's. So lets just say it does

[FiFdYnUtZ]

And on the second day....the EPIC burn was was given out

[AutoMods]

wow, stutz did some digging. I got a text message, heard some shit was going down on the forum. thought it would be donjae , charlie or fifdy but not stutz.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Back to this thread for just a second and I will let you guys keep hating. :)


Clutchmuch met up with me today and paid me what he owed me...

[85XR7Project]

Probably didnt have much to say did he?

[clutchmuch]

Actually we spoke for a good 5 min or so till he had to get back to painting.

[85XR7Project]

I'm honestly surprised to see you posting on here after all that came about...

[FiFdYnUtZ]

But your not surprised slownsteady is still here?

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Clutchmuch and I are fine, no hard feelings on my end. I wasn't expecting that thread to get quite as out of hand as it did. LOL He brought the money to my job site and gave me an extra $10.

[85XR7Project]

You knew full well how bad itd get after you threw out all that shit about him after he bad mouthed you.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

You knew full well how bad itd get after you threw out all that shit about him after he bad mouthed you.

I was talking about everything that was said BEFORE that... look back, the majority of it was said before I said anything in response to the bad mouthing...

[clutchmuch]

That extra ten bucks was just for growing out the chops :P Actually its because atms only let you take out by twentys lol i was too lazy to break so $60 was it, and i felt bad it, was only ten bucks not like it was going to change much, least you got free lunch haha And yes i realize i got shit talked up the a-hole, but im still young and have alot to learn. Ill get there eventually.

[85XR7Project]

Well at least you are man enough to admit that, I give you respect for that. Maybe remember the Internet is not exclusive to just you, other people DO read it.

[black88gt]

thanks mom

[clutchmuch]

I know other people read it, and i guess i should of been more clear on jdmcity about the body work, i knew keith didnt do it, and he knew that i knew he didnt do it lol. But since i just said previous owner i see where people got the idea i was talking shit about him. Even though i wasnt and then fucking Derek tried getting into with me. I still think he's charlie sheen.

[derek072887]

deff not charlie sheen bro im sure Ryan can check the IP's

edit: just read some of "charliefuckingsheen"'s... you think im him? are u stupid... i got on your ass for talking shit ABOUT slowandsteady, it appears charlie sheen is talking shit TO slowandsteady... your fucking retarded

[Deimos]

If you are charlie that is some funny shit

[AutoMods]

well we do know charlies photoshop skills are limited by the looks of his avatar. poor clutchmuch can't get no luv around here

[85XR7Project]

Now that's funny...

[Ricky]

lol. I giggled

[Drifte]

I want to fix it

[sLoWnStEaDy]

I laughed, then quickly ruled out 3 people on this site as the "man behind the name".

[DustinsDuster]

it's me. i just couldnt help myself. after i started the Church of Charlie Sheen, i just had to make a new username on here.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

your cholestoral, fatty!

See, its funny because it is from the movie you"photoshopped" my head onto. Thought i might have to explain it to a dense MF'er like yourself... :)

[AutoMods]

charlie, your going to have to change your avatar. i know you spent a couple hours in photoshop but you can't use it anymore. also tone it down a bit.
