SK It's been six years. I could be back in the game today.

I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I used to be quite active here in the forum. I sold my old '79 RX-7 jalopy/track car six years ago and have been RX-less since that time. But today, I'm off to look at a very pretty '81. If it's in good condition and we can work on the price a bit, I'll be back, baby!

I'm pretty excited. Hopefully you'll all see more of me asking and answering questions in the tech forum.

By the end, she had:

Dual Weber 36 DCD carbs
Racing-beat short headers, custom mid pipe and Borla muffler
Racing beat springs and front sway bar
Tokico blue struts and shocks
Direct-fire ignition
Holley Blue fuel pump
13x7 wheels and custom junkyard wheel arch flares from a VW

I miss that car every day.

Welcome back from this new member.

Hey Stu.

Not too many SA cars left, none in my area for sale. Besides, my first car was an '82.

Here she is, my new car.

Those look great in gold. Are they Enkei? Do you know where I'd get center caps? The rears are missing.

Thanks guys!

My goal for this car is to restore the interior and keep the majority of the car as stock as possible. I'll probably do the emissions delete for simplicities sake but I'm looking for a summer-time daily driver rather than a tuned jalopy like my old SA.

I'm going to make a build thread and document everything, so hopefully someone can get some use out of what I'm doing.

The engine doesn't need doing, it pulls strong, idles pretty well and doesn't appear to be burning an excessive amount of oil.
