I drove my 7 for like a mile before I tore the engine out... if you are in a rural/ residential area it shouldn't matter... Hell throw some plates from another car on there and drive it... unless they run the plates you will be golden... My brother and I drove our 280zx home from 3 hours away with plates from my maxima. Never saw a cop but no one thought anything was out of the ordinary... be careful with the driving when mom is not home cuz if you live in a town or your neighbors are nosy sombody might see you driving and report it back... life's a bitch like that... sneek out at night or some ****.

but then if you get pulled over expect to pay some big fines.... no registration,no insurance, no tag, no proof of license.... can keep going for a while and if the cop is a dick he can give you a ticket for almost anything on your car....

the side seals still appeared to be reallly springy.. they came from the 9k rebuilt engine that i got the housings from, so i think they only have 9k miles on em too...

Psssht, just build yourself a home-made dyno and put some load on it. I bet you have enough FC parts still lying around to do something. ![Big Grin](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

It was a project some guy did for school and it's pretty neat how it works. I'm sure if you play with the site address a bit you might find the page he wrote about it.
