2. Save Target As

3.Save it somewhere


What do I need to play this?

1. You need Realplayer, it should come up by itslef, if not, you have to download it.\\

Thanks, but that only saves the 36Kb link to the file, not the actual file itself.

The a must be taken out of .ram for the target to be saved to your harddrive here is a link without the a http://www.rx-7.net/video/84se_256.rm right click and do a save target as... realplayer has two formats when it is hosted "ram" (real active media) and "rm" (real media) the "ram" file gets it's information from the base "rm" file and streams it.

Cool old commercial. But that isn't a GSL-SE being driven at the end- as Mills just mentioned. It has the cross mags like my GS, not the wheels that came on the SE (I am sure there are other signs too). Too bad you can't buy a rotary engined rearwheel drive two seater car for 10k$ anymore.

...and that is how I drive all the time, except when I am in a real hurry I tend drive wreckless. Why else have an RX7?

I want to see it but I can't

Real player says it needs to download new software to see the file but it fails. What codec do I need?

That thing sits way up in the air. Geez.

You can buy FB's for $500 around Louisiana (that's in good shape, too.) FC's go for $2,500 and FD's are about $9,000 for half way decent ones. LAter.

Sorry- I meant NEW rotary engined real wheel drive two seater for 10k$.

And it does seem high. Just shows how much has changed in twenty years- when new that car looked very low compared to the other vehicles on the market. Put an 84 rex next to an 84 sedan anything with stock tires and wheels and the rex looks low. Of course, one reason it looks high is because you just don't see ANY FB rexs with the origianl springs that aren't sagging due to age/use.
