I just purchased a (true) short shifter from Trochoid (being made) and have painted up my interior to match the Redline Italian shifter boot and e-brake boot I still have in my closet.

Pics of the before and after. Keep in mind, this is with a stock shifter, boot, and e-brake handle stuff. But, I at least figured I'd put the new painted pieces in.

AFTER:

I'm tearing down the 12A to rebuild it for my FB. It's just been slow going though, trying to find motivation. It's just been cold and rainy everytime I have any time to work on it so motivation goes bye bye LOL. That and constantly having to do little **** on my FC!

Took my 85 GSL SE on a little road trip - SF Bay area to Phoenix and back (750 miles going, 1,000 miles back) . RX7 Ran like a champ! I've had the car since Thanksgiving and have been working like a dog to fix the little things - new oil cooler lines, new clutch master/slave cylinder, new air cleaner, new oil filter, new fuel filter, new fluids coolant/oil/transmission/differential, etc.. The only new problem is the brake master cylinder started leaking (new one on order).

Took the scenic root (I5/Bakersfield/Kingman/Surprise) and had a great drive. The only surprise was on the way home. High winds closed the road between Barstow and Bakersfield, so we took a "little" detour through Reno. This made for a very long day, with some snow/ice (had to buy chains in south of Mammoth Lakes area), but the car ran like a scalded dog the whole trip. Didn't see another RX7 of any kind on the trip, RX7's must be getting scarce.

Awesome car!
