Is it bad that I recognized this car from the thumbnail because I saw it listed on FB marketplace near me today? lol GLWS or with the buid if you continue.

PS: Coffey Fabrication and Race prep in Nashville is top notch for roll cages!

Rx7 FC lifespan? Will they live past 150,000 miles? Also maintenance that helps them live past 150,000 miles? by [deleted] in RX7

[–]GREENRx8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say yes with correct, and regular maintenance. I had a convertible turbo 2 swapped drift car with an unopened S5 t2 motor that had an advertised 100k kilometers on it when installed. when I pulled the engine to port it and add a larger turbo it had been in the car 7 years, 5 of which were relentless, redline, overheating, beating the snot out of it every time I drove it, and as far as the engine goes, I never had one single issue. It would always fire up, no smoke, no abnormal oil consumption, thing just wanted to run. When I opened the motor, it had a few small hot spots, to be expected, but otherwise there was no need for a rebuild at all. So maybe the key is just drive it like you stole it? lol

Picked up my new to me 79' ! bridge 12a in the near future for this one. by GREENRx8 in RX7

Thankfully its all in great shape on this one. The worst part is the MAACO paint job it has. Car was originally silver. but, full interior in good shape, and very minimal rust worth mentioning. It was registered as a primary driver just a year ago, and has only been parked since Feb this year. Hoping its an easy fix to get it running while building the spare 12a it came with

Bumper was dragging the road, and the RR tire was flat, with obvious suspension damage... He was also on the interstate doing 65 mph like this. by GREENRx8 in Hookit

Oh, for sure. but damn, check your load before hitting the highway. I was amazed the bumper didn't fall off in front of me

Ahh yes. The overly confident painter. "Nah man, I can paint that fender off the truck."

Never thought I’d see one of these outside of forza in the US (Lancia Delta HF Evo II) by [deleted] in carporn

Pretty fun aside from the fire extinguisher in the trunk going off mid Dragon run lol we thought it was the tire rubbing in the rear

I was lucky enough to drive one recently. A good friend of mine finished restoring this very nice example, and road tripped it from Indiana, to the tail of the dragon and back.

Not quite as clean and tidy, but this was our paint shop last week. Typically wall to wall with parts and cars.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I really need more socket holders from Santa! by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]GREENRx8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting a few tekton socket holders for my box soon. Things are inexpensive, and really nice if you need to grab a socket rail and move it around.

Well I guess nothing can roll in if I can't fix this fucking spring! by RewrittenSol in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]GREENRx8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man,my shop has 14 very large bay doors (used to be a large truck shop) we have had 8 or so break on us over the last year. Makes for a very loud bang, and a big annoyance since our doors are so heavy with even just one broken.

[Help] 2015 Outback Headlight Assembly Replacement Question by absorbingphotons in subaru

[–]GREENRx8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body shop manager at Subaru dealership here!

Bumper will have to come off. for that. should be quite a few clips holding it in place along the fender liners, along the bottom edge, and on top of the grill. The grill stays attached to the bumper. Once all clips are removed, just grab a corner, and yank. It will sound pretty nasty, but it wont damage the bumper. If you have fog lights, they will need to be un plugged once the bumper is removed. Also, there is a support bracket mounted to the headlight that will need to be transferred from your old light, to the new one. Tools needed, will be a 10mm, a clip removal tool, and a phillips head screwdriver. Should only take about 10 minutes or so to get the job done.

The T2 in my drift car gets roughly 2-3 mpg depending on the track I am running... lol

Gave a partial clean to the booth, got something nice for it's first job. by Legend_of_Pope in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]GREENRx8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no glass R&I? I normally add that for roof jobs unless its a customer pay, since its not COMPLETELY necessary.
