My first *running* rotary car... 1988 GTU.. I LOVE IT!!!
 

So last week i stopped (for the second time) and looked at this 88 GTU rx7 for sale about 5 min. from my house. The guy was home this time and i checked it out. Body has 206k, motor has 115k. He had recently had the motor replaced by a guy who lives about 3 minutes from me who happens to be a badass Rotary mechanic... *lucky*... Well i was planning on buying another car that day, but said, "i guess i'll just drive it because i have never actually driven an FC, only ridden in one... one time. So i did. The car did not even think about smoking on start up. Idled great. So i drive it down the road with the current owner. I cruies through a few turns, run it through the gears a few times... I was sold. The car's suspension is Amazingly tight, and it runs like a dream. I was instantly in Love. I looked right past the fact that it was rotary. After a lot of thought, i went back a couple hours later and bought it. Paid $1650 for it and i already just love it SO MUCH. Not to mention it is probably the nicest car i've ever bought, or owned LoL.

I had an FB shell that i bought to put a 302 in, but im re-selling it in order to fund other things. Well, i have one person who might be trading me an FC shell that i would like to have, but he has a few other cars he'll be looking at first. But this is the first ruinning rotary i've ever driven or owned, and i am a very pleased owner. I honestly never knew how much fun it could be. And it's Bone Stock right now! I will be starting to enter it in drift events very soon. But it is also going to be daily driven. If the 13b goes out, I will probably put the 302 in it that was going in the FB. *please don't flame, i already have the 302.* But the 13b runs EXCELLENT right now, so i wouldn't count on any swaps yet.

*just for kicks, i threw in a pic of the camaro i bought about 4 days before the rx7... It's a 1986 Iroc Z, i paid $200 For it and drove it home... I bought mainly to beat on to release the urge to beat on the seven LoL. well that and it was 200 bux.*
