my car Phat or wack?

first of all my car is a 1985 mazda gsl rx7, ive been told its a girls car and its a POS rice car and you know the usual so id like to ask what you guys think of it. My car isnt by any standards a race car or a high performance car but its looking good and loud with the 2 12 inch clarion subs. Im considering investing in a streetported 13b engine for my car to boost up the hp lol! Not only are rotary engines rare in alberta finding a streetported one narrows my chances of finding one even more. Although the temtation of a piston engine conversion is tempting I must have rotors in my blood, heh what can I say I like to be unique. Recently on my car i did a basic tune up and got it running like new again. And for the record what do you guys say to muscle car losers that boast of there cars thinking there the best? please note these are old pictures im getting recent pictures off the digital camera tomorrow, my new pictures will be alot better!
thanks!

Very clean. I like it...

Be careful with that stereo panel... The long one that has the vents at the top, the ***** below it... Ya know what I'm talking about... It's a bitch and a half to fine one that clean.

I dunno why people call it rice. If it's just because it's a Japanese car, then they're fucked up in the head. You have no rice... Rice is a 5 foot tall wing, underbody neon, and a huge tip on stock exhaust.

I dig the old American muscle just as much as the light Japanese sportscar... I'm just a little more interested in throwing a car through the twisties than going in a striaght line for a few seconds.

Nice car, Clean but the box is enormous. I would've paid a little extra and got it custom. I'm sure it sounds nice but it's a real eye catcher. With the right tools you can do it yourself like me and my pops did. all in all it's a sweet ride and I love that reciver you must have paid a pretty penny for that.

sorry if some of the pictures are bad quality its all cause the resizing to make it under the 100kb mark ok heres just a couple more now. If you would like anymore pictures just ask. Got a few good ones in there of my tint! The picture of my rim shows why i want to get them sandblasted and then powdercoated so they look like new!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my car!

My advice...

Take some time and make a plan based on what you want out of the car and then decide what modifications you want to do.

if you can dodge emissions then get rid of all the rats nest, and gut the cats/put in a test pipe.
do a search on DLIDFIS there is a great write up somewhere. that giant blue airbox can have a few holes cut into it around the flat sides*wink*wink* . if you are going to an aftermaarket exhaust then everybody is going to say Racing Beat, but its a bit pricey. i love the rb header, but the full exhaust im just not able to justify the price when pipe can be fabbed for way cheaper. the car looks great man. keep it that way

yes i was also thinking of getting rid of all my emissions stuff, just hope if I decide to do it that I dont hit problems since its my daily driver I need it to run good and since theres a lack of people who know anything about the rotary around here I dont want my car to be out of commission

WOW! Even cleaner than I thought... You don't even have the "belt spot" under the hood where the alternator belt dust collects... (As the belt wears down, dust from it gets stuck on the hood directly above the alternator... It shows a lot on the older cars.)

If you remove the emissions solenoids, keep em around if you for some reason need em for something...
