how do I tekk if my motor is origonal?

My motor pulls too damn hard for it to have 150k miles on it. It has always. I bought the car used from a dealer. I do not know the history. The day I bought it I had a top speed of 144 MPH! wiht all the stock crap still on it. I have since removed most of it and replaced the exhaust, ported the intake. upgraded the ignition. modified the MAF, performance clutch kit, lightened, e-fan, and several other mods.
Anyway I want to know whay the hell this thing is this powerfull.

Cuz it has been well maintained. I am shocked every day that my 100K engine pulls like it does. Hey, I grew up in Springfiled, How old are you?

Who are you tweaked? What color is your 7? I'm from around Springfield, MO and have a few RX-7 friends.

2 Red N/A's, 1 Red TII, My Black N/A ( In the shop, engine work in progress ), and Kyle's ( The Rotary Dr. ) Black GTUs.

Then there's a few guys I've never met. Ben Marr's Black 11 Second TII, and another Red N/A that looks just like the 2 before mentioned... then there's the guy with the Red N/A with a primered TII hood, and stickers all over it... Tell me that's not you.

It's always good to see RX-7's driving around the Ozarks.

I tell everyone I am 24 years old. then they always ask me "So how old are you?" I say 24.

My car is the metalic grey with the phone dial rims. it has a yellow "MazdaSpeed" sticher from the right fender accross the hood that I can't take off. I knew it was a mistake the day after I put it on. I thought it was cool 4 years ago. Now I wish I never did it. just like my tattoo.
Anyway back to my car. I am also the one that has been smashed in the *** by a four wheel drive with a brush gaurd. the guy didn't have insuranse so i am trying to get the money togethter to put on CF quarter panels and fenders with a complete paint job.
We should all get out together and raise hell in Springfield. Everyone I talk to is scared of the 7. as soon as I say "I drive a second gen RX7..." they usually say something to the effect of "Oh, ****!" then they proceed to tell me how the or a friend lost to one

As soon as I get mine BACK together, then I'm up for some fun.

Everyone is scared of the "2nd gen RX-7" is because everyone is STUPID and they only hear "blah blah blah The Fast and the Furious Car "

About that sticker, it may sound funny, but take a hair-dryer to it. If it can take a baked on factory sticker off a 10 year old Jetski, then the RX-7 shouldn't be a problem.

I'm 18 myself. Do all my own work ( we'll see how that goes ). And live in the boonies. My name's Colby; like the Cheese. And I hope to see you around.
