Back with my 5th Rx7 (been 6 years)

OK, so have had 4 Rx7's since 1995, but haven't had one in 6 years or so. With 5 US out of 10k cars, I've owned 0.05% of them (nerd). Got a really pretty bone stock one with 29k miles that shows very little wear. Sadly it's my first automatic, but looking forward to performing the auto to 5spd swap (unless by some miracle I enjoy driving the auto with the hold feature). Parking this bad boy next to my 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo with 560 hp.

And I bought the 1994 R2 black 5spd with 35k miles from Fritz on the forum today. All I have for pics now are the listing pics, but will post my garage full of Rx7's soon. Gotta store the Lambo somewhere though.

Very impressive collection!!! I would recommend the 5spd swap in the FD as it will make the car much more enjoyable to drive. The swap takes no more than a weekend with the right tools and parts. Will look forward to seeing which route you decide to take and to more pictures of these beautiful cars!

Thanks! Yep, I've started the parts collection process for the conversion, but the funny thing is I kind of like the automatic for the bone stock car because it's not going to be all that fast anyways. R2 might get the Roatary Performance single turbo kit which I saw this week at their shop. That kit is really clean.
