Not to thread jack but what happened to # 10 here i love the 80's Rx7's, and the rotary engine for that matter.


Sold it :(

It's one of the 2 cars I miss (the other being my 83 TC). Dark Blue metallic, 5-Speed, rebuilt motor. It was ported and had a header, MSD, etc. Ran 14.8@9x with a bum 3rd gear synchro.

Doesnt take much to get him worked up. I still have some negative rep from him a while back :hick:


You do? I don't see any negatives in your profile.

And even you have to admit her post was crude.

Just a question, if your current work is 'layla', im wondering if and how many of the other 2938745 cars had nicknames? ... har har

also, is it Layla because it got you laid? or it's like a play on words for "Lay low" or "lay down the law" ?

When I'm stupid I just keep it to myself... :shakehead

I've only had three failures, all at or going to the track and none related to just completed repairs... This includes a span of almost eight years(Nov '99) and about 40K mi... It' has been driven to All Ford Carlisle FIVE years straight(raced twice), once to Dover DE, to Hershey PA, Cat Jam, continuing across OH to almost Indiana, and back home through  WV... Plus there was a couple other trips to WV...

Failures were:

AOD inner shaft (1st time at track...'00)

Fuel pump(new Carter 1 1/2 years old.. I'd never buy another... '01)

Head Gasket(guess it didn't like the spray LOL... '03)

So knock on wood, I haven't had a problem in FOUR years... Yes the thrust bearing is looser than Hell, but it just keeps on running... Course I'm getting afraid to drive it farther than the AAA+ will tow it(100mi)...

When I hear about all the 2.3 turbo woe's you guys have trying to make HP, I'm sure glad I yanked mine...

That's why they had nicknames. It started with "the red one" and "the blue one". Then I got 3 blue ones. So we had to nickname them. The names started off as plays on the plate #'s. (123DZY was Dizzy and what-not).

Much simpler. We were trying to come up with a name, and Rosso was the only thing mentioned (cause it's red on red) but we started saying Roscoe. Turned on the radio in the garage and Clapton's classic "Layla" was playing. That easy ;)

I'm hanging in 4th, 1st is way out of reach now, we had a guy go on a tear and win 4 in a row, 7 this year with 4 points races left. I have a decent shot at 3rd, 2nd is a little unlikely. I'm pretty locked in to a top 5 at this point unless i start loosing 1st round. (no points on a buy back)

I missed one, but we get a 4 point pass for a missed day, or 2 bonus points if you dont use a pass.
