Just bought a 91 Turbo II

I everyone, my name is John and I'm new to the RX7Club. Just signed up! A few days ago I purchased a 1991 Mazda RX7 Turbo II. It was garaged kept with no rust and currently has 58,XXX original miles. The interior looks like it just came from a dealership. Super clean and the carpet and the seats don't even look worn out. I'm excited to have found this car in its condition and plan on keeping it that way too. Except for a K&N air filter and a nice kenwood sound system its completely stock. Zero leaks, A/C and heat work great, she feels great at any speeds and the turbo version is so much more fun than the 89 non turbo I had years ago.

I have a few pictures I took but just realized I don't have any interior shots or engine bay shots right now. I'll post later. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the reverse lights won't come on at all. Don't know what the deal is so any advice would be nice.

Now for the pics.

congrat it look nice.
keep is all OG don't mod it.
the most just lower it with wheels.
I had the stock lip on my turbo2 before and it looks nice,
but it made the car really low in the front.

I don't want to touch the appearance of the outside at all. Maybe a different set of wheels down the line but I will keep the same dimensions. I'm not lowering this car a mm. I gets in my driveway with perfect clearance and the underside of the car has zero scuffs. I don't want to have to worry about clearing speed bumps and steep driveways. I've had cars that were lowered a little bit and it sucks most the time. I'm keeping her all natural just like I like em.

Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot about the rest of the pics.
Here they are.

Now my camera isn't the best so for some reason some of the pics make the carpet look a bit faded but its not. And I don't know anything about audio systems but the previous owner install the kenwood system in the back and upgraded the rear speakers and cd player. I still have the original stuff too. Same goes for the air box, I have the original one but the one on their lets more air in and with the combination of that and the K&N air filter it probably helps make a couple extra ponies.

Clean car man! I looked hard to find a white, clean one I could afford. In the end, I ended up buying an NA and a turbo II drivetrain to swap in it.

Good luck with it. I couldn't agree more about them having soul.
