Proud owner of 1991 GTX

I am now the proud owner of a Black JDM 1991 Savanna RX7 GTX! I got the winning bid last night to this awesome car.





<general>
36000km
Jet Black
No accident history
Very late model 1991
The GTX is the same as the north american T2 exept for the 2+2 seats and LHD(obviously)

<exterior>
Good clean shiny paint
Rear wiper arm deleted
Looks nice overall,
almost perfect apparently

<interior>
RECARO front seats
Steering wheel a little worn
3x additional HKS gauges (electric) w/ 3 guage pod
FEED 300km/h aftermarket speedo
FEED Tachometer
AC & all electrics are good
HKS turbo timer
Transmission & clutch are good
No stereo system

<underneath>
Very small dent - nothing bad
Minor surface rust
Overall very clean
<engine>
Good idle
Revs good
Good condition
Good Compression

I really wanted to get a completly stock car, but i figured that if i put in a little work then i can re arange everything how i like it, then be left over with some aftermarket parts. I love the rims, you guys think its being lowered?

Cosmetic/functional
- Install rear bins (back seats will be for sale)
-Possibly get authentic T2 seats, depending on if i like the recaros
-Nice T2 mirror if they arnt already there
-re organizing the guages so they all look clean
-Tinting rear and side windows, dark enough so it looks bad ***

He's in Canada, though, so its much easier to get them imported.
To the OP, what part of Vancouver Island do you live in? I visited there with my family years ago and went up to Port McNeill. I think it was one of my favorite places I've ever been to (the island as a whole).

cross drilled rotors = boo

Stock or slits are the only choice for performance use...

Thumbs up Nice FC

hey Apexfd,

Congrats on the winning bid, the car looks amazing, It must be nice knowing you got to one before it was severely beaten or high mileage. good luck with it drive safe.

Penguin Racecar,
Also a very nice looking car, I like your exhaust as well, very clean, in my opinion as well , I like it without the spoiler.

FC's are the ****.

Thanks a lot for all the posts guys, always encouraging. I am so exited, i was talkign to a good friend of mine last night about what i plan on doing to it. He has built up his car by himself from the ground up, its really clean and runs exellent, so we will tackle some things before he goes up north for a start in his helicopter career.
