Please look at my new baby!!

This is RX-7 #2 in under a year. I picked it up off a buddy of a buddy w/ no engine and other miscellaneous parts. Ended up doing an engine swap from my 87 n/a. Took about 20hrs. give or take for the whole swap process including mild troubleshooting.

It's an '88 gxl w/ 126k mi. on the body and 148k mi. on the engine.

Here she is:

While you may just look at that and say; "oh, wow, it's another stock gxl..." Here's my first one aka, the "donor car":

As you can plainly see. I'm movin up in the world.


!!!BTW if anyone is interested, I am parting out the 87 base. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

ah yes i remember the day we both said FU*K WAL-MART to get your first rx. and when i said FUC*K WAL-MART to look at the second. and yes for him its a step up in the world. the way he is going i would be surprized if he ends up buying and trading his way to a 3rd gen. and then i will laugh when my baby will smoke his cuz of all the trading he does and all the building i do.....but props man. she looks damn good. but mine is still faster.
