Unhappy My time to turn off the lights.

I would like to post the last images of my car before I put it on Ebay, unfortunately another engine rebuild was not in the cards. The 5 years of ownership was definitely a roller coaster of fun. Although I hate myself for doing it, hopefully she will be bought by another 7 enthusiast and make he/she very happy.

Thanks to all the members and people in the RX-7 community who helped me out throughout the years, it was a great forum to be part of!!

Cheers,
-Joe

Damn you for getting a Dell. Should have bought a Gateway. You would still be able to keep your car.

(Sorry about your loss, bad *** car you have there)

GoRacer: Crooked Willow Intercooler and the Blitz Formula Turbo kit, although the KKK-27 was just rebuilt and modified with a more efficient turbine.

What is wrong with the engine? Why does it need another rebuild?
Make sure you post a link for it on ebay so we can check it out.
