Waxed it and took it to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Car show. Ian Stewart Martin (@ianstewartmartin) (https://www.instagram.com/ianstuartmartin/) took very artistic photo of the driver's side headlight cover and Mazda emblem and posted it to instagram. Here is a screen shot of that photo which I processed through High Dynamic Range software. The buildings in the reflection are glass towers of PPG Place.
Love me some Vintage Gran Prix. Its the one thing I miss since leaving the burg, that and going to Toms Diner at 4 am.
So that means the race is this weekend? Will you be on the fairway? Make sure to take pics and
post them here of yours and the other rotaries parked with you.

No, I'm leaving for the Canadian Rockies early tomorrow morning so I am going to miss the weekend racing. It's probably the last time the weekend weather for the Grand Prix won't include rain, blistering heat and high humidity.

I made it to the car show for the Pittsburgh vintage grand prix. A 200 mile drive both ways for me, and no problems at all. I put more miles on the car this weekend that the last owner did in 20 years.
There were only a couple rotaries there, I had the only first gen, there were two FDs, on RX-8, and a 3-rotor cosmo (which left before I took this picture).
Also, crossed a useful milestone, 77,777 original miles:

Blasphemer! Waffles rule! Says the man with 15" Konigs on his car.
Well I like the waffles better than my stock "+" wheels. Those wheels remind me a lot of the Cromodora wheels that were popular on Italian cars in the 70's and 80's.
The pinion angle change is SO minimal by design, that I could actually allow this amount of droop if I cared to, and nothing would bind (like factory) or separate (driveshaft falling out). Pretty intense.

Lot of people say they strongly resemble the Campagnolo wheels of the period, too.

All you people hating on the + wheels. I don't mind them in the slightest.
