Did you tear down the JDM motor, and rebuild it?

I have had 3 lately 2 were good. Its like rolling the dice. But 2 of the 3 needed to be rebuilt. One had sat so long all the seals were froze in the rotor and I tought it had been blown up, but its was a diamond in the rough when opened up. Good luck!

I wish I had bought that sub frame from you, but funding on the project fell through. Good set up none the less.

Heh, I envy you guys with plenty of money and talent to fund/build your cars. It's all I can do to barely do the TII swap in my S4.

At least looking for good S4 parts gives me time to save more money :S

He seems to be implying that its a 4 rotor since he said longer than the 3 rotor. All I can say is pictures or it didn't happen.

I would like to see someone try to shoehorn the BMW V12 in there. Those things are HUGE!!!! They fill out an entire 7 series engine bay w/ no room to spare.

Good luck on the build. I am sitting on the edge of my seat in suspense.

Brad, what's new man? haven't spoke with you in a while. Do you still have the FD or just the white FC? How are the doritos treating you these days?

Cyan life is great bud. I have another FD that I went to KC to get. Its in the 3rd gen section under 93 VR ressurection i think. I got her as a roller and am dailying it right now.

Last year I played on the nationwide tour (golf) and took some time off away from the old cars. I lost my card out there so this year I have been back into cars and building motors. Got several going right now. How are things w/ you??? How is the corvette wanna be coming? (J/K) I mean V8 rx7. You know I couldn't resist.

I am gettting ready to go to the mile next month. I have a buddy running a couple bikes down there and a bunch of friends and myself are making a run down there to support our buddy. We are taking a few FD's and a 911. If you car is up and running you ought to come along.

oh and the white car is for sale if you know anyone who would be interested. She's a lot of fun and can handle the abuse.
