Ever Since I was a little boy I was atracted to mechanical engineering and finding out how stuff work, on my teenage years fast cars and steet racing where my dreams but I couldn't afford a bus ride on my own. on my 17th birthday I bought my self a radio control nitro car not knowing how addictive , fun , competitive and expensive it was going be so with time I decided that I wanted to get in to a car project so i started educating my self in rotary engines. At first I wanted a second gen rx7 it was affordable and good looking and over all it had an rotary as a power plant wile a few of my old timers friends bought sa/fb and fd wile I was undesided on getting a rx7 in general till I found a steal on a 84 gsl-se that was for sale in PA for 1000 usd I hated the looks but eventually I felt I love with it. I ran the car for a year till I decided that it was time to work on it , so this winter I'll be working on project slow and ugly betty to make it a fast and sexy betty
