I would have never thought this thread would attract this much attention.

I have done a lot of research but Research can only get you so far as opposed to the "Real" thing. Thanks for your input and I hope all your future projects are a success.

Peace

You officially earned my respect! (not that it means much) by not bitching me out like I thought you might. Way to be a good seven owner, A+!

from the begining it didn't even sound like he would back out. read from the first post it was not his plan but his purpose.

Samples?

stylEmon 06-16-08 07:00 PM

would it be more cost effective to just get a s5 JSpec RX7?
It seems like all this swapping of motors, interior, turbo, suspoension, then buying mods... wow, thats sum bux.

I'd just take a HUGE short cut and buy a car that didnt need to be re-enginnered just to get started!

Anything else and you can ask a couple people who I put
graphics on their cars this weekend. We had a NW Rotor
meet here in Carnation. Tell me and I'll get someone to
photo the back of their car.

I mean you are right but where am I going to find one in Texas? Yet alone Houston. If you can find one for me in Houston, Tx for less than 800 with a good motor then PM the link.

haaa NP man... you should make a trip down to So Cal 1 day.... could hang out n we could make a drive for other so cal 7's owners.. if they want to... kinda expensive for gas though -_- almost $5 YIPPEEE (not -_-) hahha

especially if im trying to stay on 91 pump gas hahaha

stylEmon 06-18-08 11:11 AM

i thought houston had a great import scene?! You should be able to get jspec cars imported to FL right? 800 is a good deal, but it isn't cost efficient in the long run.

Good luck tho.

We do have a good import scene all I am saying is a JSpec's in Houston aren't common and I am not gonna get one imported.

ZOOKFC3S 06-19-08 02:56 AM

to me.. the best place in So cal to get JDM or J-spec motors.. would have to be Iwrandale and so on.. Long Beach... mostly City Of Industry and some L.A... but i get mine at C&t Motors.. there the best.. right here in Ontario :D

SpideyFan6010 06-19-08 09:33 PM

Should I do the RHD conversion before the The T2 conversion or after?

ZOOKFC3S 06-20-08 12:38 AM

i would say if you have the $$ and if you want to.. i would do the RHD conversion first then get the motor together... ima do that later but iono maybe keep it left hand drive hahaha.. iono yett.. up to you

I just want to know if waiting to do the RHD conversion later will be MORE of a hassle as opposed to doing it before the T2 switch thats all.

MaczPayne 06-20-08 01:37 AM

How much money do you have to spend?

I'm already >10k deep and I'm not even satisfied yet.

Well I plan on Spending around 10-12k for the whole project. If it requires more then I will spend more.No 1/2 ass projects here ;)

stylEmon 06-20-08 11:39 AM

and Max I'm sure your not doing T2 swaps and RHD swaps... that 10k you've spent is probably mods, upkeep, and replacements.

Yeah man, it's all nickels and dimes. I've still got a cage to build, and I haven't even gotten it corner balanced yet. Then there's the next motor...

Glad to hear it. You'll run into hard times here and there during your build, some of them might even force you to reconsider continuing with the build. Even then, if your desire is solid, you'll shake it off and keep going. If you haven't gotten the Factory Service Manual, it's in the FAQ. That resource right there will be your best friend.

If the OPer wants to do a replica as a fan of a show he likes more power too him. May not be completly original and some may think it's tacky but i personally got nuthing against that. Hell, how many 68 and 69 dodge chargers have been painted orange...heh...

Since my car is red and i dont want to paint it white im going to modify it so it turns into a lion AND the right arm of a giant robot!!!

Ok, now that i have dated myself correctly at being in my 30s im going to sign off.....

SpideyFan6010 06-29-08 11:06 PM
