My new baby - 90 GXL
Hey guys, I have posted once before on this, but this time I have pics, and am gonna update on whats been done. I picked it up for $1600 up in seattle. Had a burt clutch, and $400 worth of body damage on the rear passenger side. It happened when it was being test drive. The price was origanlly $3500. So I think I came out alright there 
It has 110k on it, and was bone stock when I bought it. I picked up a cheap used cone filter for now, its an injen... Me and my best friend Thrasher, changed out the clutch, and also did the following. Took off all emissions including 6 ports, removed power steering and a/c, wired the vdi open, tb mod, bored out the tb. Our next project is a cold air box.
Here are some pictures..

Very nice car! I think you got a pretty good deal on it.
I like what you have done already for performance (ripping all that crap out) - that's exactly what I would have done!

my neighbor has that exact same car in his garage (w/ spoiler). Its in AWESOME shape, has been in his garage for 5 years now with a blown engine, and he wont sell it. What pisses me off is he is NEVER going to fix it. Id love to make a daily driver out of it!

Hey guys, thanks for the compliments. I took the spoiler off because it was broken on the passenger side due to the accident. So I figured it would look better without. I have had tons of fun with it so far.
I haven't met my match yet, but Im sure its commin. I have beat a Mark III Turbo Supra, a Maxima, and a Grand Prix. The most dominant win was against the maxima. Gettin onto the freeway, took it up to 130, and he was a good 10 car lengths behing. Cant get any rice to go yet...
Not drivin her right now cause I have to get insurance, but no worries, she's still getting started every day

I don't know anything about Supras. But Maximas aren't a joke. Even the older ones are pretty quick. Im pretty shocked you would have owned a Maxima that bad. But good kills anyway.

Those are 15" S5 GXL alloys. They also came on the trim level one lower in Canada, but I can't recall what it was called. I think just GX, probably different in the States though. The SE's had stamped steel.
Strange now that I think of it, the Rx-7 no matter the year, has never once come from the factory with wheel covers. Even more bizarre considering the Japanese love affair with these things through the 80's.

Hubcaps, haha. I cant think of an Rx7 That came with hubcaps...
But seriously, when was the last time you saw a disc and a caliper behind a hubcap?
