CA New to the club

Hey guys,

I've been a member for a while but have never posted, so here I go. My first car was a 1993 Toyota Supra, which was my moms old car. It was AT with a stock turbo and a targa top. That car was bad *** but it was a automatic. Boring.

Back then my cousin had a white Rx7 gtu and he let me drive it and I was hooked from then on. I then purchased my first car with my own money. It was a 1990 black gxl s5. Great car, never gave me any problems. Then one rainy day on my way to work I crashed it. I was heart broken.

Few months later I found my dream car. A red 1990 rx7 gxl s5 the only down fall was that it had a blown motor. Not the best mechanic but luckily my cousin is so after puchasing the car my cousin and I went to work.

We got the motor rebuilt, put it back in ourselves . bought a ton of parts like new clutch, resurface flywheel, new hoses, new belts, new O2 sensor, new fuel filter, new but used BAC valve, new tps, new motor mounts. and prolly a bunch of other stuff but yea so finally after a long summer of working on the car I'm almost done and will soon have a basically new car to drive.

I learned so much about the car already but not everything and hope to learn more. Come check out my pic.
Thanks for reading

Hmmm....the pic didn't make it. Say, what was the name, anyhoos? Sounds like you dropped into the rotor leagues hardcore there and we're always glad to get the gearheads who wrench like that on cars.

Welcome aboard!
