Welcome to the world of Rotary preformance. Be prepared to spend phat cash on upgrades and general maintenance. To be honest though I love my Rex and wouldn't trade it for the world.

I didn't know yours was an R1. Some reason I thought you had tan leather.
welbly
03-03-2003, 04:40 PM
Maybe I am wrong and it isn't an R-1. I could of sworn the guy that sold it to me had it posted as one but I don't see it anywhere on his ad now that I look at it. Shows you how much I know about my car. So uh I stand corrected and now feel retarded, and should be beat with a broom handle till I hemorage out of every oriface on my face.

03-03-2003, 04:50 PM
what makes it an R1?
welbly
03-03-2003, 04:53 PM
The dual Oil coolers, front strut bar, stiffer suspension, I guess I now know interior, and whatever else Lohan or Duff can tell you because that is all I know.
You know, I love those cars so much, Ive had 3 in the past year(silver touring, montego touring, and my new baby..the black base). They all have treated me well. I guess the key is to sell them BEFORE you blow the motor up! ZOOM...ZOOM...BOOM! HEHE...
Hey memphis, what parts do you have? I thought you were sellin' your FD?

F and R spoilers, suede like cloth seats (only black), no cruise, no sunroof, no "Bose Hose", brake ducts (mine are gone courtesy od some cones). '93 R-1's were available in Vintage Red, Brilliant Black, and the highly desirable and rare Competition Yellow Mica. In the 94 and 95 years the R models are called R-2s. The suspension was softened slightly and the CYM was dropped and silverstone metallic was added to the R-model lineup.

are all the yellow ones in R1 trim?
there are, or at least used to be, a couple of them in oak ridge
memphisraines82
03-04-2003, 12:05 PM
Yes, they are.... Carson is the person you refer to with the CYM, but he lives in Dallas now. He's fabricated his single turbo kit, trying to work the kinks out of it.
Scott,
For right now, I've decided to keep it until I get back in Jan., I'm going to sell my pettit SS midpipe and my pettit intake. If your interested let me know. The only reason I'm selling is because I have 2 options I'm considering, one being going single and the other is making the car stock again and selling it after I get through rebuilding my engine and turbo's. Either way, I'll either be using the cat. again or putting on a full titanium exhaust from the dp back.

I hope you have better luck with your 7 than Bubba or I had with ours. :(

I know your bub had serious problems with his 7 Breez but I have seen way too many running great and making good power. They are finicky beasts. Sometimes no matter what we do something won't work.

I agree. I love the cars (his, mine, and I think 3rd gens are beautiful), and I know that 99% of people have better luck than we do. It's just that after 8 years with one, 7 motors, and about $50k wasted, I am a little biased. :cry2:

Anyone know what all Carson had done to his car?...oh say a couple months ago...i raced him and beat him and could never get the scoop on that thing.
memphisraines82
03-05-2003, 12:44 AM
you can go to his website, he is still working on getting the bugs worked out of the turbo kit he fabricated. Let me find his page and I'll post it in a minute.

Breez I don't blame you at all if I had that much trouble from either Rex I had had I wouldn't own one right now. I just hope Bub has more luck with his next project.

Carson's motor is currently blown. Somehow the turbo went out and starved the motor of oil. He had the Turbo XS RFL (we all know what that stands for) blow off valve.
welbly
03-05-2003, 09:26 AM
I was wondering why Carson had called about my extra motor.

If any of you rotary guys are looking for some performance parts, TurbonutTT and Matt Chambers have some from where they are doing upgrades. I know Howie (TurbonutTT) has a nice intercooler for sale.
welbly
03-05-2003, 11:33 AM
Hmm I would like an intercooler. Too bad I gotta get my Bronco going before I do anything to my 7.
memphisraines82
03-05-2003, 04:11 PM
what kind of intercooler and how much is he wanting for it? The guy who bought the pettit turbo's off Howie is now looking for a FMIC as well... if any of you know, pass on the info., if you don't I'll just email him. Thanks alot.
Brent
Has it blown up yet?
a friend of mine had a red R-1. The fastest it ever went at bristol was a 15.3 didnt matter how you drove it, 15.3 I was like man your car is a fast as a stock Type R.... I managed to get a 15.0 out of it with drag radials...
LOHAN
03-05-2003, 07:44 PM
I guess the car wasn't running right. High 13's are typical for a stock FD.
memphisraines82
03-06-2003, 01:29 AM
yeah, he had to be having some pretty big problems to be running 15's in a 3rd gen
dont know most run that here... but then again bristol is 2 seconds slower says mayo.

:bow:BRAD MAYO
You are more than correct, you dont want to fuck with me. I'll wait till your god damn birthday if i have to to stick my foot up your ass.
Its a known fact around Knoxville that your an idiot. First you call me 12 times a day to work on your car THAT YOU DROVE AROUND WITH NO FAN!!!!! Then when I tell you I'm gonna charge you for labor you quit calling. THEN you call Stephen, he helps you out a little too but after you STALK him too he also tells you that he's gonna charge you so you quit calling. You MIGHT have come out ahead in the deal you made before had you fixed up the Supra(still not 100% sure it wasnt stolen....who spraypaints a car?) but now you've gone and gotten the all time LEAST relable sports car AGAIN. When you do something stupid once it is a mistake but when you do it again YOU ARE AN IDIOT

not to get into this but.....
you got rid of the Supra because you could not afford to fix it. So you buy probably the most problematic of the high performance imports? If you are broke why not get something that is know to be reliable or at least cheap to fix.

The car has a full bumper to bumper warranty until 2006 or 86000 miles. If anything goes wrong, than its fixed for FREE....Its not that im broke, it is just that the supra had a lot of shit wrong with it, frame still had damage, the tranny 1st gear was messed up and you had to come to a stop just to put it into first gear, and a lot of other shit,,,it would be like 10 thousand more dollars for just paint and body work if not more,,,,,thats not adding the mechanical problems of the car... Im not a total idiot like brad said i am... I do have some common since. im not just going to trade a supra for an rx7 for the HELL of it. If the supra was in good shape i would still have it. Thats why i said i dont have the money for the car right now. Thats why i bought the rx7, it has 40miles on it, warranty and is bone stock.

The car was wrecked when i bought it, and the front was primmer, but like from the doors back it was paint, so he decided to paint the rest of the car with spray paint for some reason,:bash:
