MA some pics of my baby

I have not posted in a while and just wanted to share my baby with you. My daughter named her Gracie.
She's an 85 gsl. I bought her up in New Hampshire a couple of years back. The body and chasis are solid with very very little rust. Racing Beat headers,presilincer and muffler. The headers have a special coating that was an option brain fart right now cant think of name, but you know. Not 100 percent sure of brand but has the coil over conversion kit in all 4 corners. Besides that motor is stock. Recently I did shocks and strut inserts. Replaced fuel sending unit, took apart all the brake calipers and rebuilt them, then painted them red, and new pads of course. Complete tune up. New clutch,pressure plate. Replaced fluid in tranny and rear end with royal purple. Took apart a ton of pieces from the engine bay sand blasted and painted. I painted the parts a flat black and after hours and days of work I wasnt happy, so thats all gotta get redone again....Doesnt look bad just needs a light sheen to the black next time. She is rolling on some 17x7.5 wheels wrapped in some 215/35/17.
She starts up barely touching the ignition. And purrs. I love my Rx7. Ive owned my share and will continue to enjoy them. This ones going to my daughter when the the time is right or daddy is ready to give it up. Lol.... Her last day of school the other day and i pick her up in the rx7 and i can hear her telling her friends look look thats my car. I was loving it....
Well everyone let me know what you think good or bad. I am sure i am gonna here some love and hate... either way bring it on... Really atnthe end She Looks Freakn Sexy to me...

Looks clean. Has the car been lowered? Bcuz I like how the 17's fill in the gap on the wheelwell. My 7 is at stock ride height with 215-40-16's and I have gap around my wheels. Maybe I need taller tires

Yes the car has been lowered. I wrote respeed coilovers, but i believe its the ground control conversion kit.
originally I also had 16's but didnt like the size so i went with the 17's.

Too much wheel for the car but looks clean otherwise. +1 on interior & engine bay pics.

I like the size of the wheels. Even the newer mx5 miata has 17" rims. The rims just look to big because the car is soooooooo low. Sharp car!!!!
