New Car!

So, I am now the proud owner of a 1990 Mazda RX-7 GXL. I plan on swapping an engine and amnual tranny in it since the engine is pretty much blah and the tranny doesn't work. but the body is in amazing condition. sadly, i was hit from the rear and they replaced the tail lights with S4s though.

Always glad to see an X in the hands of someone who knows what they're driving.

I saw an old lady driving around in a pretty decent red S5 the other day. When driving next to her she didn't even notice me. I could tell she was a point A to point B driver lol.

You know, you'd think that the rex looks better with the lights flipped down but I really like the look it has when the lights are up. I keep mine down though haha. i'm such a hypocrite.

Anyway I'm happy you love your car. What kind of enhine are you gonna put in it? Rx7world can rebuild yours and they offer the ability to machine the rotors to accept larger 3mm apex seals then put the better seals in, It really helps the car last forever if your looking for a reliable rotary. Post pics as you progress. Beautiful car.
