ON Hello from the South of Canada

Hey all, my name is Matt and I'm from Windsor, ON. Just picked up an 81 RX7 recently, looking forward to using it as a fun summer driver, doing light mods here and there.

Definitely not new to cars. I am a full time automotive technician and my last project was an LSX swapped 89 240SX. It recently spun a bearing and I decided it was time to try something new.

Here's a few pics of the 240SX, for those interested.






And a video of it in action...


Here a few pics of what you guys actually care about, the 7!






Plans? Drive it when it's nice, park it when it snows. Little things here and there, but I've learned many things since I bought that 240SX and do not plan on repeating many of the mistakes I made with that car. I want to keep it clean and make sure it's ready to drive whenever I am.

Wow. I'm not into 240's, but if I was, I would want that one. That FD is super clean bro. Welcome to the club.

Hehe. I had to make up something here in Wisconsin. There I was, 2nd day I had it here in Wisconsin when one of Beloit's finest pulled me over because of a lack of front plate. Would have been nice if the stock plateholder were on it because it doesn't block airflow (unlike the bend-the-plate or corner brace hacks). Had to fab my own. Cost me an hour of solid driving time.
