[Drifte]

Thats awesome, dont scratch it! I like winter, people post build threads.

[Snoclo]

[Scott]

Nice car, boring engine!

[OldSkoolRCR]

and Scotty I tried selling you the dam thing before I de-forded it...lol

[Snoclo]

Kind of like looking a basement wall, its the foundation.
Nice car, boring engine!

yeayeah too rich for my cheapness

[93stang5oh]

Just curious, what are you doing with the wiring harness out of it? I'm assuming you plan to run completely different wiring with the LS setup?

[AutoMods]

scott is right. this is my new project, another fc rx7 with a better powerplant

Somebody knows what they are doing.. Looks great.

[Mike@Salkowski-Motorsport]

Its going to be a bad bitch!

[K-ville]

Somebody knows what they are doing.. Looks great.

Agreed! gunna be a bad bitch better start rewriting rules now!

[93stang5oh]

I sold it but may know of one here locally you could get for a good price, let me check.

Thanks for the offer. I am still contemplating what I want to do. I currently have a molested Engine/Injector harness to work for a very old version of the MS1 Megasquirt Stand alone System. I am thinking of replacing the harnesses with original equipment, then purchase a newer version of Megasquirt with the adapter cable. We finally figured out why I was having driveability issues this past weekend. We tore into everything and discovered the IAT wire was no longer soldered to the DB37 connector. Resoldered that and the throttle response feels must crisper and doesn't appear to be running near as rich. We found this on Saturday so it was too wet to take it out for a test drive so we're hoping to do that tonight. Either way I am still thinking of going to the new version to take advantage of the newer features.

Sorry for the long response and hijacking your thread.

[AutoMods]

very nice. don't forget to hit the underside of your car with paint or undercoating again. my undercoating wasn't completely burned off but blistered up some. then i forgot to fix it and a year later some rust was starting.

[Scott]

GREAT...another expense...lol

Wait till its all done and get under there with some POR15, the biggest expense is gonna be water and cleaner trying to clean the stains off of yourself and everything else it touchs!! Good stuff tho

Looking good EddyB, now do the right thing and put Allgo's SBF in there with a nasty vortech gear driven on the front of it

[OldSkoolRCR]

[sparkles]

WTF is this strap hook crap? I understand beings how it's a Ford it's gonna need that jack pad, but I thought this was supposed to be a street car. No trailer needed. Oh wait, I forgot the Ford part for a second. NM

[OldSkoolRCR]

Only part of this car that will be ford is the shell, If Im traveling 4-6 hrs away to race Im not driving it, street car or not, shit alot of so called street cars got trailered to CFR an hour away.

[sparkles]

I'm just giving you crap Ed. I just figured it would get turdlicker all riled up. Car looks awesome...for a Ford ;)

[OldSkoolRCR]

Thanx!

[Snoclo]

[StreetSweeper]

Nice!! You running Pro Mod or Pro stock with that machine?

[OldSkoolRCR]

Same class as you but in front of you

[StreetSweeper]

Same class as you but in front of you

No class racing for me! strictly business here!

[TbTalon94]

Is that a normal thing to do adding that jack-pad? Never really seen that before but I don't follow a lot of domestic builds. Pretty neat idea!

[AutoMods]

if that jack pad was on my car, would be fine with my 27" slicks but could be a bit low with my 25" street tires

[OldSkoolRCR]

Jack pad comes in very handy when the rear is underbraced, and the strap hook is on there, makes it very stable to jack up....

[civicex_1134]

I remember a very specific video u guys made a long ass time ago..... when ed had the silver bullet, and george had the black talon. And george said in the video, "im drivin this baby up there" and panned the camera to eds car and goes, "the only street car in town on the trailer like a biiig girl".....rofl! Sorry, but i just got reminded of that when george said hes drivin his to the track, good times tho! Werent those 2 cars within a few 10ths of eachother in 1 video?
