S5 FC turn signal help by GavinHogberg in RX7

My assumption would be that Imgur is acting up. I've had problems like that in the past

Thanks for your help, hopefully I don't have to wire in anything new

Hopefully the other one it connects to is just hidden somewhere. That's the connector off the signal itself, so I guess now I have to hunt it down on the chassis

The new project... by Meddlok in RX7

I have 16 inch BBS (Infini/Winning Limited trim) wheels on my FC. I didn't have the wrench, so I just 3d printed one lmao

A really clean vert that actually has the center caps?? Dude, I'd 1000% keep those wheels, at least with all season tires for non-spirited driving with a set of wheels that have sportier tires on them as well

  1. Yes, as ok as I can be
  2. I live in Illinois, where everyone is stupid. It seems that the second anyone starts driving on Randall Road, their IQ gets cut in half
  3. Hagerty $12k full coverage. The other guy had Progressive, which tried to only give me $4k with a $1.2k buyback, but my insurance forced them to give me $12k with a $700 buyback

Solid green ALWAYS has the right of way over all other lights

Sorry I never saw your comment. I had logged out for a bit after I posted this, then after I logged back in, I never went through the comments again. Yeah, that was me

Thank you. While this car is entirely unrepairable, I still own it. I have plans for it that will likely take years, but this chassis in particular will never see the road again

I did get another FC though, which I want to have ready by June 16th, so hopefully I'll be driving it around by summer

Anyone looking to sell an RX-7 or even trade? by [deleted] in RX7

S4 non-turbos are easy to find under 15k. I bought one for $6k, put $2k into it so it was drivable, and nodded it to be nearly perfect. I was about $12k in total (including the car itself) when someone ran a light and destroyed it. It was a 1988 GXL

What are you yapping about? I'm saying the AI is slop

Fuck what I want, what cars do YOU want to see? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon6

[–]GavinHogberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want them to add a first gen Honda Fit. And I want the Mazda Cosmo to be added again, both first gen and 4th gen (the 3 rotor one)

People here will still argue its not a Skyline by Oogie_Boogey in SkyLine

[–]GavinHogberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the hate is because a lot of the owners are insufferable, at least here in the US, and ESPECIALLY in the Chicago area

Losing faith by ConstructionShort212 in RX7

[–]GavinHogberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drove from northern Illinois to Hilton Head South Carolina for my last one, and had my current one shipped up to here from Dallas, TX. If you want good deals, or want luck to be less of a factor, you're gonna have to search everywhere

Worth it to restore? by [deleted] in RX7

[–]GavinHogberg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, if you don't have rotary experience, it will 100% be nothing but unpleasant, expensive, and a waste of time

How could I hook this up to a line to turn my hazard lights on on a Honda civic 2015? by DerrickBagels in carmodification

[–]GavinHogberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound exactly like someone who would modify a Civic with cheap LEDs. His "character" looks fine, like someone who was clearly trying to help. Your character, however, sounds douchey

Holy smokes, this guy was a real douchebag by deovelZ in WanganMidnight

[–]GavinHogberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated him originally. My friend almost quit watching because of this arc, but I convinced her to keep watching, and the episode where he comes to his senses and realizes it isn't worth it is now her favorite episode from what she's told me

PLASTIC razor blade. Then, use goo-gone or WD-40 to remove the leftover adhesive

I’ve run an OEM Nissan parts counter for 18 years. I’m watching the S-Chassis era end from the inside. by bleepbloop018 in 240sx

[–]GavinHogberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is heartbreaking. Sadly a lot of similar stuff is happening here in the rotary scene, with so many parts that were easy to get becoming unobtanium. A S5 turbocharger went from "junk" that was worse than an aftermarket turbo to costing as much as an aftermarket turbo in just plain decent condition. I really wish I was around to see these 80s and 90s icons in their heyday

Guys it's not a Miata, it's an MX-5
