Well, a couple weeks ago a friend of mine tarded his plasma cutter for an rx7, i helped him get it running and he drove it around the block onece and then promptly sold it to me lol for 500 bucks. because the rear end needs new mounts. now all i know is that it has a body kit and i think its a pop up sunroof or maybe a targa top. now i know for a fact the motor and trans are not stock as it has a chevy small bock 350 and a turbo 350 tranny HEHEHE so dont nag at me about rippin out the rotary butttt i like it this way better. basically i just want to know more about these cars

well, your post is so broad, what are your questions. with a V8, the car has no more rotary soul and who knows whats been modified to accomodate that 350. there's probably not much we could tell you about the car cat this point..

Too much motor for the stock rear end, probably, if you're having problems with it torquing on you.

Check the link arm bushings, may be shot, but you're dealing with a rear suspension designed for a car that had about 100hp stock.

Not to mention that you've seriously upset the weight balance; your power train probably weighs three times what the stock engine/tranny weighed.

I like the wing and the front bumper. I have the same front bumper. And I see a Mustang in the background. I like it.

so what kind of front bumper is it ? and as for the sunroof there is a little slide that says lock towards the front of the car insides is that to take it off (targa top) ?

The front bumper is a Mariah front bumper.

the front bumper has an 81-85 front bumper poorly grafted onto the aftermarket front bumper.

Yeah, for the Mode One kit from Mariah, you have to have a 81-85 front end. Someone must've done it at home and wasn't a professional.
