Looks like I bought this car from another member of the forum. He posted pictures of it in '06.

Not likely since I've owned the car since June 1989 (over 25 years).

I was talking about TerryKS on page one of this thread. He only lives about 30 minutes from me. In fact when I bought the car from craigslist, earlier this year, he used that exact picture to advertise it.

Looks a lot like mine used to:



It's a bit more ragged-looking, and has GSL-SE suspension now. And a blown engine.

^^Daum, nice!!! Gonna give DivinDude a run for that 2015 JCCS Best Gen 1 trophy with this ride Sweet! You probably shouldn't be playing your hand yet this far away from JCCS. It gives Glen too much time do something even crazier to his ride!

Not a chance. Glen's is perfect. Mine is a "5 foot beauty". Get too close and you will see the wrinkles behind the makeup" LOL.

Agreed, Glen's ride is DOPE. Just thought I'd try and stir things up a bit

U just gotta know the right guy, then it can pass just fine. It's for sale, if anyone likes it they can p.m. me, yea but anyhow, it can be hard to get a stock one to pass sometimes lol, this one might clog the emissions testing equipment. That poor smog machine would never be the same afterward.

Truth be told, highest I've EVER managed to place at JCCS is third in "Best RX-7."

Taken 3rd place three times, out of 6 years... & every year been beaten out by a red car, too.

Every...
SINGLE...
time.

Oh, I've no room to gripe - the cars I've placed behind were all amazing.
Even the red ones.

Got any pics with the hood and headlights closed? I need to put that in my "inspiration" folder.
