BobDrye Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Maz: I’m handicapping you 6 months and a nephew. The bet if you accept is is dinner for the whole family at the restaurant of the winner’s choice. Budget $150.00. The winner has to drive his completed car as is, for the summer. We would need to enforce spirit and intent. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/358289163_P1010533.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1822510999_P1010537.JPG Negotiations: I need to: Replace all of the exterior aluminum and polish. Paint all of the fiberglass. Have the computer and screen operational. Dyno over 500 hp with a printout. Replace the lower control arms. Install custom taillights.

slngsht Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 considering my car looks like this at the moment http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1813793111_Rotus%20backhalf%20005.jpg I'd say you have a head start. BUT, I like the idea. I'll wait till I talk to Arya before jumping in. What date did you have in mind? I can't commit to anything before June.

slngsht Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Let's make it June 21, official start of summer. $150 will be paid by the person whose car is NOT complete. If both cars are complete, we'll just pay our way and have a good dinner anyway. BTW, I'm driving 4.5 hrs each way to work on the car a day and a half this weekend :willy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was that Jun 21 08 or 09? I think that the time date of that picture is in December and that a more recent picture would be more complete. However I accept the date of June the 21st. We will need a crowd of witnesses and a small blat to celebrate. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Ebrahimi Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I can assure you that that is the current condition of the car :ack: It is only more complete in our minds, well at least mine, I think Mazda is still cutting things off in his :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDrye Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Arya: I still think that your side has the advantage as I haven't taken my seven fully apart yet. Pictures are to follow in the next few days. :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eVox Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Move to nominate for best thread ever? some side by side webcam/most recent picture would be cool.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Ebrahimi Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 LOL, that would be pretty cool. Although a bit drawn out. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be able to sneak away for a weekend or two and do some serious damage to that list of "to-do's". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to spend 7 days with the family at Myrtle Beach. When I get back in 1 week I'm installing a 16 camera security system in my shop. We should be able to track the progress of both sevens. Remember that my seven hasn't even been taken apart completely yet. :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Ebrahimi Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Right, but are you refabricating large portions of your frame? or just body panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 well, I'm about to get on the road in half an hour to head to the disaster area (AKA Frankn7 operating room). Will start hacking - er... welding - in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I light of this picture I think that the Ebrahimi Boys need to spot me some points. P.S.

Boxologist Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 hey Mazda, do u want a set of C5 5 spokes? i got a buy by me selling a set for $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 at one point i had a set of z06 wheels, a set of thin spokes, and a set of wagon wheels, but I sold the wagon wheels, so I'm using the thin spokes on the vette, and the z06 set on frankn7. $200-300 is doable for thin spokes if you don't want perfect ones.
