93 CYM i saved.

Its a 93 R1 Rx7 with 80k miles on it, Found this car on CL, and it was too good of a deal to pass on. Car currently has a BW 67mm Single conversion, Twin disk clutch, Haltech Platinum sport ECU, Fuel system, fresh ported motor. Plans are to put my a extra set of VOLK Te37's on it I have, Lower it with some nice coilovers, re paint the entire car, fresh seat's and clean the interior up. When I got there, both door handles were broke, and the guy was opening the door with a Pry bar.. The guy's dad had spent a lot of money recently on the build, then passed away. And the son inherited the car, and then posted it on CL. So I snatched it up.

Haha finding pot in the car is both hilaruous and worrying at the same time, depending on what state you are in...could get you in trouble lol...imagine telling the cop "but officer its not mine I swear, its the previous owners weed...his name? Well...he passed away...true story"

There's only 350 CYM's so it's awesome that you found one and will be rescuing it. Treat her well!

This kinda balances out.....There was a pic of a wrecked one last week in the 3rd gen section

So with saving this one we're maintaining the balance of road going CYMs.

I really can't wait to see how this car develops.

I wish I could find a decent CYM in my area, or any area for that matter.
