Red face A Short Film on My ‘83 RX-7 (4K)

I made a little tribute film to my 83 that I’ve been working on. Wanted to document it and what it’s done for me before it’s gone. Hope you enjoy - nothing too technical or crazy. Just a celebration of what makes these cars so great, even today:

Thanks, Stu. Hope the warmer weather is treating you great. Except I will say you're missing out on FB+Winter Tires. This last one was a BLAST!

The stock wheels have the winter tires on them. Which were INCREDIBLY tough to find because there wasn't a single 13" winter tire in stock in North America. Luckily I found some on ebay someone had imported for their Kei Car that they didn't end up using. Love the waffles, too, though - these ones are in nice shape.

When I lived in Pittsburgh PA back in the mid eighties my 7 was my DD for work. Each November I would get 4 studded snows swapped on and in April they would get removed. Never got stuck in the snow with the 7. Didn't hurt that I grew up in Missouri where driving in the snow is something I learned early in life. So much fun on those days!
