This is a good buddy of mines car and he doesn't do the hole forum thing and to be honest he is not to mechanically inclined either. In the process of my swap he decided to buy a swapped rx7 because he thought the idea of a big v8 in the car was "cool". Well he was taken by surprise when the car he thought was "running and driving" showed up with a slewwwww of problems, minor, but problems.
Honestly I just dont have the time to help him and he doesnt have the extra $$ either. I spent 2 weeks fixing up wiring, swapping and the carb, making gauges work etc... Just so he can decide to sell it . Car still needs some TLC but is a GREAT project starter or if you wana runnit as is so be it.
