Default Got another car.

Well after selling my roush mustang I bought a 06 chevy pickup. Well I thought i'm done with cars for awhile, and yesterday a buddy goes hey wanna buy my project car. Okay sure tell me what ya got. first gen Rx7. I'm like okay what about it, 302 efi and granny kit to do the swap included for 800 bucks. All i have to do is get a t-5 tranny and driveshaft wire it all up. 2300 pounds with a v8. even though its a ford I was thinkin about doing a turbo kit for it, but I just bought a set of 24's for my truck. so thats out of the question now but I got a steal of a deal so i can't complain to much. I'll get some photos as soon as i find my camera

I would get it put together quick but my 24's are going to cost me 5200 bucks, so thats all my project money for now. I'll get back on it in a few months thought. I"m thinkin of painting it pink cause it would suck to get beat by a pink car

$5,200 for wheels? Please GOD tell me that at least includes tires as well.

I could redo my exhaust, get a 12-bolt and prolly heads & a cam for that kinda jack.

Yeah, its sitting in my garage. Yeah 5200 did include the tires they were a set of foose's. I know some people at good old les schwab , plus company discount. they started life with a 7200 dollar price tag.

I'm going to put wallace back on the camaro one of these days. I'm thinkin i might just go get a capital w cut out and put it on all my rigs considering i've got 4 now again! My 21st b-day is in july i'll come up and have a drink with you guys

i was just shocked at the starting price.......for 7200 I could buy a nice LT1 TA and have some fun. :shrug:

5200 is bad enough but if you like em, then more power to ya.
