Saying Hi- Driving another "Blasphemy"
Hey,
My name is Neal and I moved up to jersey from the dc metro area a couple months ago. I am about half way done on building a lsx rx7 so I dont exactly own an f-body. I have the chassis of the car pretty much done and am working to close up the motor build right now. Things are a little slow because of the heat and money right now but I hope to have it on the road pretty soon.
Thanks!

live in hoboken right now but possibly moving to the montclaire/rutherford area in a month or two with my gf. I am looking for a place with a garage to rent but not much seems to be available in our price range.
thanks for the compliment!

pics are a little old but here is an idea of where Im at
Ok, so Ive been trying to find a setup that Im comfortable to beat he hell out of with my FD.
First it was custom twins. They had a great power curve but the nast 4.5k transition would always throw the balance off in the car
Second was a TO4R single kit. Great power and not much lag but then you fall into the whole "when is the rotary going to go boom" and tuning nightmare.
So, now comes japan chassis and suspension design with good ol american redneck power
This was the car before the madness
Now

welcome to the board. What is your price range? I'm a realtor and I might be able to help you out if you're interested.
Hit me up on a pm and let me know what you need and the price range you are in.

thanks for all the warm welcomes. Id love to drop by some meets when the sucker is done.. right now its just time consuming getting this thing built myself. This is the first time Ive built a v motor let alone a v8 so Im trudging through it and gaining all the experience I can get. Once my heads are done I can complete the motor and mate the tranny and hopefully get it mounted in the car. After that its good ol fun with wiring and hoses...

It would be cool to get out to a meet in the near future. The lil lady is a former f-body owner herself. That poor car looked like it went through a warzone though. She used to like to jump it lol
