Welcome the n00b...

Hey, I just bought a 90 rx-7 a couple days ago, and thought I'd introduce myself.

The car is a 90 NA 2 seater 5-speed. It's got some body damage (right front and right rear) from an encounter with a guard rail. But somehow, there's no damage to the side. The battery was completely shot, so I dropped in a new one yesterday, and it fired right up. Smoked for a bit (which I understand is normal), but runs like new. I couldn't believe how well it ran.

Other than that, the car is in excellend condition, and the engine is strong. A/C blows cold air too. All this, and I only paid $400 for the car!

I'm gonna clean it up a bit tomorrow, and I'll try to post pics.

wazzup!

Oh, BTW, the damage on the fenders but not the side is kinda easy to explain...although not likely it is possible that the front of the car hit and then bounced back, while the rear then slid around and hit, misssing the side entirely (or vice versa on which end hit first). Guard rails can do some weird **** man

Here's some pics from today:









In the dark pic above, you can see the damage. I pulled the blue pinstriping off today, and cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Looking nice.
