Threes company.... for now

So what started as an affection for the styling of the rx7.. led to the purchase of a 1990 GX coupe.. has now surmounted itself to an obsessive hobby and love for these cars. As of today me and my dads family of rx7s has a new big brother.. a 1988 Convertible. This is will bring our total of currently owned rx7's to three. A 1990 GX Coupe, 1990 Convertible, and now the 88 Vert.

For now we plan to keep all three, make each of them unique and different from eachother. I primarily drive the coupe and my dad likes the convertibles.

Newest Edition
1988 RX-7 Convertible (U.S. Car)
Cost: 3000cdn
Mileage : 150km original
Work Done/Mods: Changed rims, otherwise bought as shown certified.




Original top


Second FC:
1990 RX-7 Convertible
Cost: 3200cdn
Mileage: 250k on body, 60k on new rebuild.
Work Done/Mods: Stereo and catalytic converter.
Prior Work/Mods: New motor 60k, new magnaflow exhaust, lowered 1", K&N intake.





The One That Started It All
1990 RX-7 GX Coupe
Cost: 3500cdn
Mileage: 140k original.
Work Done/Mods: Stereo, various sets of rims lol
Prior Work/Mods: Clutch, magnaflow gt exhaust.






Feel free to criticize lol

Just thought id share my love for these cars... im 18 now and ive had an rx7 since i was 15, i cant see myself driving anything else. My plan is to eventually use the coupe as a track car at solo2 events and get a 90 turbo as a weekend driver.

Thanks -

Absolutely... they are hideous... But to clarify, the 88 vert... not the 90.

Yeah i dont like them either, the previous owner put them in. He also put a ridiculous switch for them under the dash. im getting rid of the whole setup. Im also seriously considering putting an s5 front end. I really dislike the s4 front end, and the dash isnt my favorite (gauges etc). Im really glad it has the s5 tails. The owner gave me two complete sets of convertible s4 tails as well, that i really have no use for.

thanks for the comments!
