do you guys know the technique of starting the car these guys use on the FC?

Like the wiggle the key in the ignition trick...or breaking the ignition or whatever.

Cuz most old cars can start with other keys from the same car. Well atleast this works on Hondas

Its not really car specific more has to do with the key hole being really worn out.

Thanks guys. Yeh it sucks, but its not the absolute worst that could have happened.
I see it as an excuse to build up that motor, any ideas?

I'm looking and a miata na. I'll be back with another 7, I love these cars.

I'll be at the next meet for sure. =]

It looks like the 1.6 is around 1500-2500. While the 1.8 is around 2500-4000

That sounds like a good idea. I think they would be excellent daily drivers, instead of getting like 12mpg with the TII. I'm not too sure about the market, I've just been searching craigslist.

go with the 1.8, that car needs all the help it can get with HP. A big go-kart-like, balanced, easy to handle car.

Needs more rotary.

I'm partial to the NA but it needs more power. I know the NB fixed that to an extent but that was my only complaint.

I was on my way to pick up this rx7,
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/548334932.html
then the jerk calls me and tells me he sold it.

If anyone see a cheap s4 shell let me know right away. Thanks
