What year?

Was searching on e-bay and noticed what they claim is an 85 GS. I noticed in the picture that the gas cap door is on the passenger side. My 85 GSL is on the drievrs side. Were other years on the passenger side?

yea, but see you guys live in cali, i live in NY, its pretty hard to find a rx7 in nice shape even just ok shape with a running engine. in ny (long island) it would be worth doing the tranny swap.

Oh, I see.

I'm taking the thread off topic, but since it pretty much ended in the 2nd posting, what the hell. Did you do your tranny swap yourself?

Ok, well I cant really take the credit for the tranny sawp my boyfriend did the tranny sawp, he gave me the car as a anni/birthday present becuase i loved the car so much. but anyway, he did the tranny sawp himself, he is a member on the fourm also his name is serzy im pretty sure he posted about the tranny sawp or it was on his web page or something like that, try doing a search on his name i think he explains what he did somewhere.

I am not interested in it. Was just wondering why the fuel door was on the other side. You guys sure have better eyes than I do.

Thanks again.

while we're on the topic of mirrored pictures did anyone else notice the "featured car" that 10AE in the upper corner of the page is also mirrored? not that it matters.
