Super stoked to see updates from this. This is a loving fantastic idea and real life top gear challenges should happen more often.

That interior looks incredible. Usually when someone says $200 sports car I have an image in my mind of bloody shirts stuffed throughout the interior and questionable stains. Do I dare ask what the exterior looks like?

I think damaged fenders is an Alberta thing. The Scirocco has that as well from when some genius figured running a tow strap over the hood was a good idea.

That's up there with the ignition system failing on my VW after I switched to premium after an engine swap.

I've heard that there are insurers out there that don't require it anymore. I've yet to hear the name of said insurers. The definition of "roadworthy" is also subjective as gently caress. I told my broker once that I was waiting on a new windshield to pass since mine had some cracks all the way through and she asked if it was missing or something.

I'm with Aviva and my broker is constantly hounding me for them. I usually get my dad to sign them with his old mechanic's number. This has devolved into a practical joke with with him refusing to sign off on the least safety related problem with the car just to get a rise out of me.

Even my dad has become a dorito fan now, I think its contagious if you get too close to one. He's gone round and told all his neighbors about how my RX7 has a rotary engine and I don't think I'm allowed to work on it without him anymore.

The Kart I specifically bought that van for is Italian with an Austrian engine, that has to be close enough. Also I'm now insanely disappointed that nobody bought a Fiat x19.

I saw a rotary engine rat rod up in Airdrie today. I think it's an omen of things to come. Didn't get any pictures though

How did those Celicas win the WRC with those pansy axle seals? I'd have no confidence banking the car off the side of a snow drift to corner it if those seals gently caress up just by putting them in by hand.

One of you needs RB Tech or some other chinesium bearing company as a title sponsor.

McTinkerson posted:I went down a road with our car that ended up with me spending ~200 hours creating my loving Mona Lisa. I honestly believe that I will not be able to create a better car, ever. With that, I also am mentally exhausted from the effort and due to the behavior of certain persons and the Alberta rotary community as a whole when I needed them most, I'm also done with them for a long while. Once SCH is sold, I'm quitting the Edmonton / Alberta rotary clubs. For the amount of time and effort I have put in to them, I've gotten gently caress all out of them. There's some other things as well but in a nutshell, I've got it out of my system for a while and at the same time lost all steam. That really sucks man, sorry to hear about that. I definitely wouldn't have an RX7 without our help so its lovely to see the community give off a reaction like that. slidebite posted:So wtf happened with the rotary clubs to cause this? Judging by my own experience so far I'd make an educated guess that there probably was a lovely reaction because this thing wasn't being built into a "race car" and was fairly cool looking without setting fire to a pile of cash.

Once the passenger side migrates past the dome light I'm going to have to do something about it. Its like watching an infestation grow. It was just around my sun visor at the beginning of the year.
