I have one you can use. It is not made for a rotary engine but you can still use it.


Also, if anyone is interested, my tII tranny is for sale here....

The S4 tranny is slightly different Dave.

I've got that good S5 tranny I will very much hook you up on, just let me know.

I'll let you know if I see either up for sale.
My FD is going up for sale soon and the FC is always for sale for the right price.
(But I think either one is out of the ballpark on what you'd want to spend.)

I have a whole extra set of oem 15" wheels from my 90 GXL with Yokohama avs es100's on them but you'd have to judge for yourself wether they'd pass or not

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the area, and havent gotten the opportunity to hang out yet, my 7 has just recently gotten on the road and is in good running condition. Anyways, my brother was driving my car last week and smacked a guardrail somehow. I'm not exactly sure how he managed to do that, but who knows. The damage isnt too bad, and I was checking to see if anyone in the area had any of the following: Passenger side fender, rear passenger side tail light, and I actually could use a set, any set really, of 114.3x4 rims. Preferrably with tires, for cheap. I got a gsl-se suspension I need to put on, and I want wheels for it. Also, I could use some rust free doors, but theyre not necessary at the moment. So, pm me if you have any of those for sale at the moment, thanks!

you could try calling Mitchum Enterprises he has several junker FB's (and FC's) and might be willing to part some stuff. I don't think he's turning them all into 7 Challenge race cars.
I don't guarentee he is selling the parts mind you.
the number is 804-379-1239 and he is definitely your guy if you wanna get your 7 race prepared

I found a guy who will sell me two fenders and a taillight for $65, which isnt bad at all. Anyways, I found out my brother had actually taken MY car to langley speedway and smacked a wall! Needless to say, he's paying for all repairs. Still some bullshit though. I appreciate the help.

Come get them - you get Special Dave pricing.

I mean hell, if you bought the OZ's for the FD I'd imagine you'd get a set of meshies included :-)

cafc, you're not trying to buy a bike are you?

On a side note, I think it's come time for me to let go of the '91 Turbo
