Just picked up my Black/Black RX-7 R1 w/33k miles
Congrats on the car. I was actually eyeing that FD for a wh ile and then I saw it was removed from the sites I was tracking it on. Good to see it is in the hands of someone who enjoys cars!

Thanks alot guys! The plan is to keep it completely stock, and low mileage.
If I get the bug to modify I think I might just buy a cheap shell... It would be a shame to mess with this one currently. As far as the SC went, I actually was just about to finish the build, when the opportunity arose to get out of the Military and have them pay for 4 years of schooling. Been going good. Just ordered a nice car cover (Yes, it's definitely garaged) but any extra protection is good, I figure. I picked it up from the owner of a dealership.
If the engine were to ever blow on this 7 though... Far down the line... I would definitely consider an LS-7 swap, or something to that effect for max power vs. stock reliability.

Thanks everybody!; Car cover just came in, fits great. (Cover King) No real build thread for the SC...
It looks like I'll be done with school on Dec. 25th, and since it's MO I probably will not be driving it this winter! That'll def. keep the mileage down- no way I'll take it out in snow... I'm perfectly happy just looking at it as a classic fine art metal sculpture this winter.
