I really Do have a Seven, here are some pics

So here are a few pics of my 85 GS















I bought this spoiler from Rx Seven, a great guy to do business with by the way.

skrewloose78, a great guy, came over on Saturday & helped (he did most of the work) install it.





Had it painted professionally.







You can see the rotor oil fill cap that came from www.rotary13b1.com in the engine pictures.

Right. & I'll have them repainted by the same guy so that they will look brand new.

I wan't looking for a RX-7, I just happened to stumble across the car & felt like it was a great deal. I know shifting gears gives alot more control, but I just use it for a weekend car. BTW - the air works nice & cold.

I'll also give them a good wash before I send them out to you. They should look pretty good. They're just dusty now LOL

I appreciate the invite kingbob, but just hate B'ham, seems as if something goes real bad (at least the last 5or 6 times) every time I go, so I now try to avoid it.

hey kingbob hwat are you doing the 21st? were going to have a get together at DQ around 1 that day. you should make it out if you get a chance.

jeff the pics look great but they just dont do the car justice. you just dont see 1st gens in that good of condition very often.

if you need help with anything else just let me know man.

im not doubting their quickness, the 12a is a awesome engine.
a rx7 is a pure sports car, pure sports cars deserve clutches.

nice 7, but i DO wish these boards would automatically resize pics to a decent size to eliminate all this scrolling up and down, left and right just to see one pic.

Hey, I have that same exact spoiler for my car, just not installed yet. Do you know who makes it? I think its Erebuni, but I'm not sure. Been wondering about this for quite a while now.

I don't have a clue who the spoiler was made by, as there were no identifying marks or stickers on the bottom side of any of the pieces, what I can tell you is this, the spoiler I have was more likely than not made by a US company, because when I was looking for mounting hardware, the nuts that go on the bottom of the center piece have SAE threads, not metric.

Does anyone know if theres a shift kit for the autos? J/W I gotta 5-speed but an auto with a shift kit and synthetics would drastically lower shift times. And whats the most HP the autos could take without breaking?
