It is, the U-joints have gone bad. It's all good though, my new ones came in today which is a HUGE relief.
for the record it's not a GTR - I ain't that well off

He sold most of the FB's recently, I think he's down to like 2 now... and only 1 FC...

Although... he could probably build whole other cars with all the parts he has for both.... lol...

Nice to see RX7 owners in Richmond. Where/when do you guys meet up? It would be nice to hang out with car guys again after moving down here.

Based on the few posts I've read, i would guess Niburu is leaning towards the L word....

Richard should be able to give you some clear ideas, he has built numerous C-production class race cars with the FC's and lots of 7 Challenge cars with FB's

soooo, it looks like Friday night it may rain or the roads at least will very wet
soooo I will post some teaser pics and if it looks like rain for sure I'll post the whole car
the rear tires are practically bald and this would be a bad car to drive in the rain anyway

$250 firm - these will come with a set of good condition locking center caps and the Bridgestone RE009's still have plenty of tread left on them
