like saving a puppy from the pound
since I was 14 i was obsessed with rx7's (in particular the fc) but i couldnt really get it as a first car, so for a few years i drove a delsol si, then i traded up to a maxima 5 speed.. but recently i was at my work (salvage yard/auto parts store) when I was looking at the line of cars to be crushed and I saw it.. the white 1990 rx7 NA with racing beat exhaust. There was no way i could watch it get crushed. so I walked up to it and assumed the worst: blown apex seal. of course the plugs were already out so i turned it over, and of course it was blown apex seals(or it sounded like it at least). although i didnt care so i just bought it, and im putting it in storage for the winter and hopefully i'll figure out what to do this spring (TII swap, rebuild, or get working NA 13b). but it should be a great car once done!

Awesome man. Every time i go out to the salvage yard to pick up parts for mine i cry on the way home. Such a waste. We've got 5 FB's, 3 S4 FC's and a couple S5's...All gutted and trashed and rusting away. Makes me wonder how anyone could just...Throw away a car like this. None of them are wrecked, actually looked like they were in great shape. Oh well. I just hope they never crush them, saves me some money you know?
