1st RX7: 89 Turbo
I just got an S5 Turbo. had my buddy drive me down to Arcadia from basically Bakersfield to pick it up. Might have overpaid, but whatev. It has the Racing Beat TII exhaust and Volk GTU's, so I guess that's pretty cool? Also got a HKS turbo timer, some projector lenses and redom boost gauge with it.
So now I'm in the process of basically "restoring" it. Coming from a 2002 Audi TT ALMS what got trashed. Figured I'd change it up and get something fun instead of just good looking. But it still needs to work right.

Bah! Humbug.
OK, I'll put the one's the seller used but it's hard to take good pics of my own in 100 degree skin boiling hot sun, especially since I'm only outside after driving it and it doesn't have A/C. For now...
It doesn't have the seats, and has the dual exhaust not single. Shows pretty well in the pics, not quite as nice in person. I like it anyway.

Thanks, but the interior is sub par actually. I'll snap more when I get done taking care of mandatory maintenance and get to cleaning and aesthetics. Definitely needs some seats.

Yea, they're similar to some of the stock ones aren't they? Maybe that's why they called them GTUs? Honestly, the wheels are about half the reason I got the car.

Kirei ni hyō*ryū* iku!
Awesome car dude, looks great. Love the wheels too. My brother has some that look like that on his 85' and they looked awesome on my 86' so I'm pretty jealous haha

Wow, I'd better hang on to it. Thanks guys. It's actually one of two hardtop turbos within 500 miles I could find when I was shopping. The other sold maybe 3 days before I got this. I've been wet-sanding the orangepeel out. Hopefully I don't botch it royally, and I can get some decent pics.
