Wow. Looks like I over-reacted.
The spark plugs were fouled to high hell, is all. Installed stocker NGK 7's and 9's and she Started RIGHT up.
Perfect idle.
Found out I've got a vacuum leak or two, is all. Causing it to run rich.
Drove it home just fine, just didn't boost.
Gonna go through it tomorow.
It was pulling 13-15 vacuum and idling well at 700-800. Just the vacuum leak would cause it to idle lower, was all.
Hoorah.
Bah, now I fucked myself though on selling it. LOL
So don't sell it. Take the $10/hr job for now.
yeah keep it i think divine intervention is telling you to keep it
Naw..I just have bad luck, a big mouth, and I over-react.
It might be sold this week though, finally.
I'm hoping to either sell it, or at least get a good deposit this week. I have 2 interested buyers.
QD is a retard. I understand what you are saying, especially after a high school kid tore out the clutch in my RX-7....and didn't buy it, after another high school kid rode the clutch in my CRX Si like a mechanical bull......and then had to sell his Eclipse b4 he could buy it............or like another McDonald's working chump powershifted and e-braked the shit out of my other CRX........and then tried to write me a check for it......I feel your pain, your car is a work of art, it's like letting some other guy feel on your ex-girlfriend's tits, it's a very delicate procedure! Good luck
nice...
Which is exactly what I said it was... and that's exactly what I told you to do... eventhough you kept convincing yourself that you blew your motor... good job. Remember, I'm always right. =]Quote:

I was freakin' out though, cause I drove out later that night to try and drive it home. She started, idled low, stalled, then wouldn't crank back up.
I am/was running rich due to a small vacuum leak. Problem: solved.
Supposed to be getting a $4,000 deposit tomorrow from Tennesee kiddo...he needs a few weeks to finish prepping and painting the car he's trading me along with cash.
Good stuff.
Wish me luck.
wtf someone ban this kid.Quote:

No thanks, Allen.
Bumpity.
Man, it sure is frustrating when people don't answer their phone.
This guy that owns Cruisin' Concepts is supposed to have me come in to try out workin' there, and he never answers his phone.
And the Tennessee kid with the cash n' car for trade never answers his phone.
Fkin' frustrating.
>_<
i'll be honest with you mike...i don't know why you're still trying to deal with that kid. i'm here waving the money in front of you, but you'd rather deal with him. no offense or anything, i'm just not following your line of thought.
Sorry man.
The truth is his offer is actually better than yours, but realistically, I really can't wait any longer for him.
I'm giving him till the end of the weekend.
You and I can meet up some time next week if you want.
I'll e-mail you when I'm free.
- M
ahh, now that i understand :) money talks!
Yeah, and this kid's bullshit is takin' a walk.
He's got till the end of the weekend to wire transfer me his deposit or you and I will be meeting up this coming week.
- M
Well, that's TWO buyers that have fallen down the drain.
Price is $12,000 guys.
For anyone who's seen the car in person, they can tell you it's worth it.
I NEED it sold, y'all. I'm so broke right now it's not even funny.
Call me if you need/want ANY info about the car:

Whomever was trying to PM me, try again.
My inbox was full.
Is it the Tenn. people looking at the 240? Mr Nice Guy thread here...
What was his name? That way everyone avoids himQuote:

- On a GOOD note, as I may have previously listed, I did have a vacuum leak, which I have not only solved, but perfected/improved. The car is running at 110% right now. Doing some extra thorough work on her tomorrow too. God, it's times like these that I want to keep her. She's driving so well right now!
Anyways...
I finally listed her in Autotrader at $12,500..figuring, or rather, hoping I'll get $12,500...but at least if I get an offer for $12,000 I will still take it. :P
Wish me luck guys. Spread the word. Yoshi's FD is kickin' ass and takin' names!
- Mike
On another good note!
I finally start that shop job @ Cruizin' Customs this Thursday!
I can't wait!
I've even got a back-up job in case I don't like it, but I think I'll love it.
Drove the car some tonight...boostin' right at 9psi, feelin' gooooooooooooooood. I'd swear those gigantor Type-X GTR VTECKKKK plug wires I put in added like a bajillion horsepower. lol
:P
I'm gonna start checkin' out the dates of upcoming meets now. I want everyone to see her in actionnnnn!!!
:D
I'll race you.
Only for pinks, y0.
2G buy-in.
So are you going to be able to keep the fd now?
congrats on the job! you gonna keep it now?
lol, I hope so!
I spoke with the guy for a good 20+ minutes today all about his business, where it is, and where he wants to go with it.
I'm really excited about working there.
He's focused mostly on Domestics in general, but he WANTS to expand to the world of imports, so I'm hopin' to basically help him do that.
Realistically, I still can't keep the FD. I'm in a hole of debt now because of it. Late payments, overdue bills, it's pretty bad. It still NEEDS to sell.
Pm sent
Started the new job today for Cruizin' Concepts.
Went great.
They're basically a whole-sale/retail-sales company, currently focued on Mustangs at the moment, but he wants to get into imports and trucks as well. It's a small business that's already survived its first year and had over 1,000 customers...so it's legit, and leaves tons of room for growth, which is exciting.
Anyways, everything is gettin' better, but of course, car remains for sale, as I've stated many times..I'm too far behind in debt now to catch up even with this job.
It's in Autotrader: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...g=en&cardist=0
And check out the site for where I work:
http://www.cruizinconcepts.com
So...yeah!
:]
Hooray for Autotrader.
I'm getting many e-mails about it.
Someone offering me $13,000 if I hold it for a week or two. I told him he needs to send me a deposit of sorts, because there's a buncha other people who wanna look at it.
We'll see how that goes.
good luck, very clean fd
:goodjob: saw the car last night on barrett. real nice car!! man i miss to the sound of a rotary :(
When I ate Thanksgiving at my mom's, she and my sister said it sounds like a cat purring.
lol
Oh, no! I drive a pussy!.....cat!
lol XP
Pimping car....I see it almost everyday...if I had the money I would buy it...Then drop a rb26 in the bitch
Nobody knows anyone who would like a clean, RUNNING, and more importantly, FAST RX-7?
Man...
Got a really baddass guy, who knows my bro, full rotary-enthusiast comin' to look at her tomorrow.
