My rx7 pics


















It was my 3rd car overall. My 2nd RX7. A 1985 RX7 base. My 1st one was an 84 GS. It was clean, but I beat it so bad I blew the motor and tranny. I was young and naive. I believed that rotarries could rev forever....not rue...they only feel like that. Anyway..this was my 2nd RX7 that had 60,000 miles when I got it in late 1998. At it's peak it had a streetported 13B with tons of other mods. I miss this car sooooooo much. And partly why I now own an RX8. Anyways, I thought I'd share the pics.

what do you mean it doesn't rev for ever??? HA! there is no such thing as a rev limit on a 12a. Of course I keep it under 8500 just to keep everyone happy. Someday when I have another motor ready to drop in I'm going to drive the car in first gear to see how high I can get it to rev before it goes BOOM!!!
