Continued to prep my rx7 for the race track today, bit of tinkering here and there to get her running (mainly getting her un-stuck off full throttle) then this happens.....what a ....er!!

That\'s a pain. She\'s not a well machine there is she.
I think it was not happy in the first vid. Amount of smoke. OMG.

What do you expect from a man who even spells "Dorset" wrongly in his location ID :Hammer
He must of ran out of goats, something to do between sleeping with his mum and touching animals.
You\'d be better off posting that video on a redneck V8 forum. Well ....in done.
And there might have been a pair of rotor housings in that engine that were still good. I would think not now.:Nono!
:eek::eek:
What sort of racing are you planning on entering?
really.......why:(
I think the only race he looks like he doing is to destroy as many rx7 as possible before he gets a hard on about his pet rabbit and a v8 pick up
Yeeee haaaaa redneck
should be banned :(
thats like walking into church on sunday morning with a upside down cross and 666 on your forhead
These are the two series ones on ebay for parts, was thinking of having a look as I really want a series 1, but what a waste and the green ones got another car sitting on top of it.
I,m getting angry now and lots of bad words are coming out of my mouth!
Oh dear...would you look at that I appear to have upset a few people!! I don\'t really want to get in an immature slagging match with you but seems I should set a few things straight.
Well shall we start with a bit about myself, I\'m 17 and drive a 1967 Hillman Hunter GT as my daily...my father, who you can see in the video owns a 1961 Mk2 Jaguar 3.8 4 speed manual O/D, hardly redneck V8 motors...I dont even really like V8\'s they\'re far to slow!
Every person on here had the opportunity to buy mushy pea and restore it off of ebay, as were my original intentions, just because I got my money out and you all sat behind your computer screens is not my problem! I was going to use the grey fb (which I purchased while picking up mushy) for the engine as in my view it was easier to do a transplant than try and rebuild mushy\'s goosed lump. When we got the cars home and investigated them it was clear that mushy was had it, no passenger floor pan and hardly any chassis. In my opinion it would have cost far more than the car was worth to repair it, even if I could find something to weld the underneath to.
I did consider trying to do something with the fb but it had already been sent off as scrapped before I purchased it and I was told it couldn\'t go back on the road under any circumstances. So now im left with 2 cars that could be chucked straight in the frag and be half way to china by now and I probably would have got most of my money back by doing this anyway. But being a classic lad I know how hard parts are to come by so thought I would break them on ebay for YOU the rx owners.
I think I had around 40 enquiries for parts over the month period I had the motors advertised with about 20 very satisfied customers, with people coming down from far as London and other places to get bits from the cars.
Now around 2 months after I purchased them is where we are today, mushy as you can see in the video is ready for the scrap run (Mr festa) I think it is easier if I say what parts are left on it rather than what I have sold, a cracked front screen, doors (no hinges), dashboard, a bit of interior trim, front anti roll bar and a rear bumper. The fb is in much the same state but is a rolling shell with engine. It was going to be raced in a non contact stock car formula on the oval race scene, I had hoped the rotary lump would have left the other cars in its dust, but it clearly wasn\'t to be.
We may have "destroyed the rotor housings" but seeing if the smoke was going to clear was a far better alternative than a rebuild on little funds and a hobby, unfortunately it didn\'t and it was boiling up on tick over, so for our own satisfaction and a bit of a laugh we cooked her just to make sure we weren\'t umming and arrring about whether to race it on a dodgy lump, travel 100 odd miles get to the track and it blow up proper on the 1st lap, can see my thinking yes?
The future: Its still going to be raced but this time in banger racing in a special 1 off meeting for under 1400cc rwd cars and its going to have a 1.3 ford xflow in it.
If any of you want to come and watch or tell me what a cnut I am then its the "vintage tin night" at Smetharpe stadium in Taunton on Tuesday the 5th of July at 7 pm. Surly that is better than it getting chucked straight in the scrap???
I know I\'m not going to get any apologies but I don\'t really like shagging rabbits or my mother for that fact. Have nice evening!
And I think on that note, we\'ll end this thread!
