Hi all,

Just picked up my first rotary today. She's a Mariah with the "killer B" motor. The car was my uncle's, and it's always been part of the family. It has been in storage for a decade, and it's in really good condition. My uncle decided it was time to pass it on. No words can describe how lucky I feel to have a chance to own the car.

I'll be taking her to Thunderhill and Laguna Seca this year with my family, and hope to meet some of you along the way.

All the best,

Car looks great. Hopefully I'll see you on track.

It's pretty cool you have a family RX7 to be passed down.

Very nice, must be a Steelers fan?? Looks great, I'm hoping to track my car too but I need to make money to do so. Great setup, and another South Bay guy. I'm not very far from you, but it's a world away.

Old school I like! Maybe a darker yellow ;)

I'd have preferred all black with gold mesh on the Epsilons, but as far as i know, it's the only 2-tone yellow Mariah ever made. I may resist my creative urges, and keep it very close to its current state.

Main changes will be to strip it and cage it, for the track.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Unreal day!

Followed through the "bringing back to life" thread, and the killer B came to life on the first try! after sitting for 15 years!

33k miles on her now. Like a time machine inside.

Rubber suspension bushings are shot, as are the dampers. Hope to have her track-ready by end of March.
