No..I parked the tC behind it when I was waiting for the tow truck driver. Then parked the tC across the street from my house so the tow truck could get it into the garage.

It runs. It just leaks water so I believe it's just the water pump. The engine itself is fine.

Nice! Hey Austen i gotta disagree on the Vert 240sx. Those are butt ugly. I dont like verts that much though. Cept an s2k.

In some ways with the rx7 I wish I had gotten a coupe but after having the vert in my garage and getting a good look at it up close I really dig the verts so no regrets there.

Probably going to order some samco radiator hoses soon and get start replacing some of the interior pieces that are lost/broken. May get some in CF..still deciding.

Gonna probably get started on the water pump tomorrow.

I looked around at 240's briefly to but they either already had an sr20 (or some kind of motor swap) and were modded to hell or way overpriced :/

Plus I found my heart belonged with a rotary haha
