first rx7 owned first RWD car ever owned

The name is Tristan mcconnell. I just traded my 1991 B18a1 swapped civic for a 1987 rx7 gxl car is about 80% rust free I'll post some photos when I'm home.

Little about me ..Im sort of odd..to normal people.. I like anime .video games...and cars
I live in Wisconsin ..I go to the city's in Minnesota to the sreat races ...


I had enough fun in FF and wanted something rear wheel drive was going to trade for other Mazda's but the rx7 was the close and I have always liked the rotary engine ...

The only down side of getting this rx7 is it needs work but it is a way better car then the civic was

Little about the rx7 it is a 1987 rx7 gxl s4 6 port engine the guy put in a lower mile engine as the body has 215000 miles on it and the engine has 60000-70000 miles but it sat for a while so the injectors got games up at least that's what I think I have put a fully custom exhaust on it just need new intake gaskets and injectors or clean the ones I have but idk how to do that..

I'm joining this forum looking for help and to learn more about these cars and engines I'm not
joiningto get trolled or attacked by grammar notizs so don't bother trying I'll just blow all the trolls
and grammar notiz off

And with that I'm done if you have anything to ask go for it I'm a easy going guy

Go Wisconsin!

I'm relatively new on this forum myself, and don't even have an RX to drive. But you'll love the RWD, it's just absolutely fun. My RWD cars are currently three: '77 Porsche 924 POS, '85 Volvo 744tic, and an '85 Corolla GT-S. With sticky tires, the GT-S is about the most fun I've ever had in a car on track (or autoX.)

Ah, jack-stands, an Rx7s best friend.

Whoever had it went a little wild with the nightshade, huh?

Anyhow, good luck on getting it up and running, but just do your best to search the forum because chances are very high that someone has been there before and even then simple stuff will be in the FAQs.

Oh, but for the record, having proper grammar and spelling usually helps people understand you better and will give the impression you're not 14. But do what you want. Nobody's perfect.

Welcome!
