And then there's the V8 conversion...

yeah, but not all of us know about his life BEFORE torque. Or the promise of torque. Or the hope of torque. Or....

Anyway, nice to see where he's been. I think most of his old posts have been wiped, and I've often wondered what threw him into the lap of Satan.. er... cough... V8's!

This from a confirmed MOPAR fanatic. Of all the Domestics...

The round-style tail lights that you used to have to pay $625 for from Japan, but now you can just have someone convert your stock lights for about $75-80...

It would have been awfully hard to find '99-spec lights in 1997...

It's just easier to list the tail lights as '99-spec now and group them with the other '99-spec body parts available, but the Efini RX-7 has had round tail lights since 1996.
