Introduction
Hello, new to the forum, but i've been reading it for a while now, i've always loved the rx-7 ever since my older brother had his turbo II. And i recently purchased my own 1987 rx-7. I'm still learning about these engines but i pick things up fast, basically the rx-7 is going to be a track use car, for autocross and drifting events. I've got a protege as a daily driver. The rx-7 i just bought came with some neat mods, it's a base model but it has:
16" motegi rims and yokohoma tires, an lsd off an 87' turbo II, strut tower bar, and he included the stock rims/tires with a bunch of spare body parts to go along with it here are some pictures

=( no full shot, i had to borrow a friend's digicam to take those, i'll get one in a day or so, and yeah i'm not too fond of the color either, apparently the guy was about to paint it then put it up for sale so it has a bit of maroon around the edges, when i can afford to i'll change that

yeah 86project right now i'm not concerned with mods, i just want to make sure it's running ok and get used to the car, also that's going to give me time to save for coilovers, and an lsd, after that i don't know maybe a few minor engine mods but nothing too spectacular
