NOOooo!!!! I had a huge post, and then boom, gone.🤬
In short, I wish I could afford my projects too! I've had the rx-7 for years, and for the past year and a half its been sitting there, slowly getting brought back to life. The bike was a steal though. race prepped, nice suspension and full exhaust. no lights though and it doesnt run without a jump. So I got it for 100 bucks. Starting to work on it next week. I'm guessing it needs a new battery and stator ring. wiring up some lights is childs play. After that a good tune up and that will be running, only real down side is that it was dropped. So there are no fairings to speak of. Street fighter it will become.
As for the Audi, we have a love hate relationship. Its got a the 225hp 18.l VAG turbo engine with the quattro awd system. this thing has grip like no other car I have driven, The engine is awesome too. 225hp now. Next step is to get VAG COM and flash the ECU, throw on a boost controller and turbo timer. Since the internals are all forged, this thing can take quite a bit of boost before the engine needs any internal strengthening. the stock turbo is good for about 18psi before loosing efficiency and reliability, so those small things done, then we will start to work on the supporting mods. intake, exhaust, suspension, etc. The hate part comes from the fact that we have put some miles down on it. So we are plaugued with maintenance stuff. Just replaced the rack, cause it was leaking from everywhere, as well as the tie rods, still gotta do the ball joints, all the bushings, motor and trans mounts. And full fluid swaps as well. But its worth it to me, that car is great. The hard top has 4 seats, but if your not 3 feet tall, your not going to fit. My daughter however is, and my dog fits back there too.
