So due to the financial debt I have encountered with owning and building the GN RX7 and the LS1 FD, it was time to let one of them go.

Today, some guys came from Canada to check out the car, and ended up leaving with her. I got damn near what I wanted out of it, so I can't complain, but about cried like a baby when it was finally loaded on the trailer. Here are some pics of her before she left today:

and apparently the car is a big secret and he doesnt want his local forum to know what he bought, so he took this picture to keep people guessing... i guess, I dont know.

how much you end up getting out of it?

Chevelle7D2
1st September 2007, 06:08 PM
how much you end up getting out of it?

well, I was asking $13k at first. Ended up getting close enough to that to sell it. Basically it came down to "was the car practical?", and the car wasn't, it was built when we had a track close by, and now that there is no track, its a waste.

Also, my taste changed, I need a car that can do a 1800 mile road trip, get beat the **** outta on the strip, then make it home.... and the FD can supply that.

The car has the motor/turbo setup for mid 10's in a grand national.. the RX7 is over 1000lb lighter, soo, in theory, it should be capable of 9.90's.

yeah, now that rings a bell.
what kinda times did you put down with your fd?
and didnt you only have street tires?

Chevelle7D2
1st September 2007, 06:21 PM
FD ran a 12.2 @121mph... with a 2.2 sixty foot, so yes, traction was an issue. Not bad for an un-tuned cam only car.

Lepa

now that u have cash slap twins on the ls1 and some sticky tires lol.

Chevelle7D2
1st September 2007, 06:32 PM
****, it sucks because I sold a car that I put alot of time and money into.. and I can't touch a cent of the selling money... doesn't even cover my debt. But, it almost does, so I basically have a free LS1 FD, and when it comes time to sell it, it will be for pure profit. So I guess thats nice to think about.

But for right now, I feel like I just gave away a car just so some magical number on my credit cards goes down... ****ing bullshit.

I gotta re-find the site, last I checked there was no **** talking... apparently everyone already knows what the car is, probably because the build up has been posted around the internet for the past couple years/the forsale threads.

Lol.. suure. If anything you probably did the wavy bodywork on the drivers side rear. :sillyme:

Yogi

It was Subaru WRX Blue, and just because you piad my dad doesn't mean he did the work. And I don't recall dont any body work to the drivers rear.

Chevelle7D2
5th September 2007, 05:37 PM
one would think that since I called your dad/talked/met up with him/and he told me he was the one doing the work, that he would be doing the work, not pawning it off to his son. Kind of like out sourcing... not that I don't think you do good work, just kind of odd business, ya know?

brando1985
5th September 2007, 07:08 PM
Who gives a **** who did the work, some ****ing canadian up in the canadas owns it now. ****

I would go ahead and say LC2 ftw, but the FD/LS1 combo is an all around better car for doing anything. (ie. racing/cruising/road trips/looks/ect)
